Dear reader(s),
Having many Internet difficulties in London but wanted to let you know I'm alive and well. More later.
Cheerio,

Zusammen in Munchen
Dear reader(s),
I left Berlin yesterday. It was quite sad. Partly because I'd gotten quite attached to the city in only ten days and partly because I had also grown fond of my classmates, most of whom will be in Bonn, Germany for the next five months.
But I met the boyfriend at the airport and we've spent the whole day in Munich. It's quite different from Berlin; Munich ended up on the West German side during the Cold War and has therefore had ample time to repair most of the damage from World War II, while Berlin of course just kept getting slammed with horrors until about 20 years ago. The difference is quite obvious.
It's really hard to see a city in one day. I spent ten in Berlin and still felt like I hadn't seen everything. So it'll be a little sad when we leave tomorrow, especially since I'll be leaving Germany until god-knows-when and will no longer be able to find the German things I love like carbonated apple juice (apfelschorle, they sell it everywhere) and super cheap beer and throwing random German words into my conversations.
But I am really excited to see London, the center of Renaissance theatre and all-around kickass locale.
So more tomorrow or the next day, when we're happily settled in the UK.
Tschuss (last time I can say that I guess),
Anna
