Ost Meets West

Monday, September 27th, 2010

I’m a little behind with blogging, so I’ll try to get caught up this week.  My only excuse is that I’ve been really busy with travel both for work and personal.  When I last left off, I had just come back from Asia and 2 places I had never been before.  I added another new city with a business trip to Berlin.  Although I didn’t have a lot of time to see much of the city, my hotel was right on Unter Den Linden street so it was just a short walk to the Brandenburg Tor (see below).  I remember a photo of this from my high school German textbook, so it was cool for me to see it in person. I’m still amazed by the political changes I’ve seen in lifetime.

My impression of Berlin was very positive, but it was probably helped by the beautiful sunny weather, the people strolling in the parks, and the great food and beer.
