On Friday, we had a guided tour with one the student assistants. But of course, the weather was uncooperative, so the tour was cut short a bit. We had lunch at the Mensa again. The Mensa has a lot of food, most of which I have no clue what it is. I had a sandwich again today and what I thought was going to be cheese potatoes. I was sadly mistaken. It was cold potato salad. Who puts the potato salad on the hot bar?! But it was a cheap lunch again. I'm really going to be surprised when I have to actually pay normal prices for lunch.
A note on the bathrooms at the school: they like to hide them. A simple D on the door apparently means it's a women's restroom. Who knew! While I'm on the note of bathrooms -- they have a small and big flush to conserve water. Just an fyi :)
So back to Friday, we went on a boat tour on the Spree River with Dr. Dirk Verheyen (our program leader) as the tour guide. It was a crappy day for a tour though. It rained for most of the tour and was very chilly. But that didn't stop me from taking pictures. When it rains here, it's a kind of misty rain or a sprinkle one might say. It hasn't really rained hard at least not during the day. The tour was very nice! We got to see East and West Berlin.
After the tour, we went to a Soviet War Memorial. It was very nice and powerful. I can only imagine how the concentration camps will be!!
And finally for Friday, I went to a bar with Malia (one of my new friends :)). Of course, they don't card since 16 is the legal drinking age here (for most drinks). The student assistants took us in groups to this bar. It was pretty calm. Overall a good Friday, well minus the crappy weather!
