Bits of Berlin, Part 2

Friends, the suspense is all but killing me. I want to actually reflect on The Hive and share substantial thoughts from Berlin.... but I can't yet. For the next three weeks, I'm enrolled in a summer course entitled "Cultural Diversity and Globalization." We're examining the notion of culture, its discourses and practices, and how difference is mobilized socially, politically, and economically on a daily basis. Fascinating stuff, I tell ya. I've also started my internship at PageYourself; and so far, so good! I'm part-time for now and will upgrade to full-time when I get back from New York. I'm considering this today's coffee break :) daydream with me, won't you?
It was my last day in Berlin. I slept in and stumbled through my neighborhood to Kaffebar for a fabulous and much-needed cappucinno. Afterwards, I ventured to Museum Island to quickly see a handful of sights I'd missed the day before. I hurried back by 1pm though because the boy's parents were swinging by to take me out to lunch. We enjoyed "real German" lunches at Schleusenkrug in the most beautiful park, Tiergarten. Once we'd satisfied ourselves (and fed the sparrows), we went for a stroll, ending up at the famous Cafe Kranzler, where we made room for coffee and apple pie. And then, they dropped me off at the airport.
