Today we went on an adventure

The program that I'm here with is called FUBiS which I think stands for Freie Universität Berlin International Study. Through this program they offer a variety of excursions for us to go on, some are free and are in Berlin. Others are a little costly and are weekend trips to other cities and towns in Germany.

On Wednesday we had the opportunity to take a boat tour through downtown Berlin on the Spree river.
I got a little lost trying to find our meetup point for the tour
so I took pictures of random buildings




And then the tour started...





This is beer with Fanta, it was surprisingly good.
Beer with coke or sprite is also very popular here.

This is the Berlin dome.


This is the Bode Museum.

Karl Marx and Friedrich Engles



These are the Ampelman, the crosswalk guys of East Berlin. West Berlin and the rest of Germany have a different Ampelman. They also have museums and stores dedicated to the Ampelman.
