Week 2 in Berlin!

There is the link of my vlog

I recorded the week long video from July 2nd to July 8th. This week is the first week we spent in Berlin.

During this week, we explore this beautiful city Berlin through its transportation, historical buildings and museums, also we got more understanding of this city from both modern time and War period.

The pictures of July 2nd, the first day we arrived, were took on the way we back to our apartment from Berlin TXL international airport. One is the U-bahf station near our apartment and another one is a nearby street view. Berlin gave me a clean and beautiful impression on that day.

On the second day, we first took a tour around our apartment with Tobi and Manuela. We saw some parts of the Berlin Wall, also we learnt some history about the Berlin Wall, East Berlin, and West Berlin. Later, we went to the Jewish Culture Museum. Inside, we saw the Garden of Exile that are 49 columns filled with earth arranged in a square. Thus, Berlin is not only a beautiful city but also a city with deep culture intergration.

On July 4th, we did an orientation in Humboldt University and had a tour arond the university. We went to AlexenderPlatz and saw the Berlin TV Tower, Berliner Dom, Museum Island and World Clock. All the places we went that days are about the Modern part of Berlin.

The following day, we went to museum, Berlin Wall Guard Tower, and the Soviet War Memorial. From that day's visit, I understand the part of Berlin in War Period, the historcial buildings in Berlin and Berlin's important role during World War 2.

July 6th, we had a tour to Reichstag, which led me a political Berlin, and Berlin's important role in European Union. Next day, we also went to a museum about Berlin in World War 2. Comparing these two days' trips, we can easily find the differences between Modern Berlin and War Period Berlin.

During the free weekend, I went to the Brandenburger Tor, which is the symbol of Berlin, also the symbol of Germany. It regards as a important landmark in Europe.

This week is a amazing week for me to familar with Berlin. Also, it led me fall in love with Berlin!
