On Thursday, January 13th, I went with my old German class to explore the neighborhoods around Friedrichstraße. Our German instructor put together a really cool self-guided tour. It was interesting to see the differences in architecture, style, and class.

On Friday, January 14th, I went on a tour of the Chancellery. Unfortunately, I did not get to see Germany's Chancelloer, Angela Merkel. But I was entertained by one of her civil servants, who was not shy to bash the government systems of both Italy and England.
