What I've been up to lately...

It's been a long time since I've written, because my class came to an end on Thursday, and before that I was busy with... something? The past few days have been a bit of a blur. Wednesday we had a class pizza party at Die Zwölf Apostel, a restaurant underneath the S-Bahn Bogen right by the Pergammon Museum. On Friday I went to the Berlinische Gallerie to see the John Heartfield exhibit finally... it was really cool, but the rest of the museum was a bit of a letdown. Then that evening Yukako and I went all the way to Potsdam to see a silent film from 1919 called "Unheimliche Geschichten". We got a bit lost trying to get there, ended up walking through a garden colony, seeing a wedding reception, and walking through the woods, but we finally arrived, and even on time. Then on Saturday I saw a photography exhibit of all of the photos the German stock exchange has purchased over the past 10 years, which was really cool. Then I got a text message from Lilo, so I went to her apartment for coffee, which turned into dinner at a cute Italian restaurant on Kollwitzplatz. And on Sunday Yukako and I went to the Tierpark, which is the former East Berlin zoo (not to be confused with Zoologischer Garten, which has Knut the polar bear). It had the cutest baby animals!!! Almost every third animal had babies born this spring, and we basically fell in love with all of the baby wildcats. Then this morning I had breakfast with Lilo, because she was leaving for Zingst today, and I won't get to see her again before I leave. Ok, I should head out, because this place is about to close!
