Hello, all.
We had a wonderful final morning in Berlin, starting with a stroll around the cathedral, city palace, and museum island. We then headed to the DDR museum for an immersive experience of everyday life in the former East Germany, a topic of special interest to those in the group who just completed an elective course on the subject. Directly above the museum, we found a nice spot to have some Currywurst (or hazelnut ice cream, depending on individual mood) and enjoy a few final views of the Spree river. Then it was time to make our way to the Berlin airport for our flight to Frankfurt. Waiting for us as we exited the baggage claim area were all of our host students and host families, who gave us a very warm welcome. And so begins the homestay phase of our exchange. Tomorrow we’ll have our first student report on the blog.
Until then all the best from Oberursel!
