the death of one person is a tragedy, the death of millions is a statistic.

oh hayy berlin. im really loving you!
we've been having so much fun here so far, we've already booked an extra couple of nights, because we've just been having wayy to much to see!
we've been on three walking tours already. a general, free one, that just kind of took us to a few places, a cold war tour, which was kind of interesting, but i feel like the tour guide wasnt the greatest, and we went on a third reich tour today, which was very good.
i really enjoy learning about the cold war, and as there are parts of the berlin wall still up, its easy and interesting, and its all everywhere. as well as reminents of the second world war, there are a lot of memorials to the deaths of the millions of people. berlin, and germany in general, is very good at admitting their wrongs, and helping people learn from their mistakes in history. there is a jewish war memorial, as well as a holocaust musem right under it, that was completed in may 2005, and its right in the middle of the city. its all just so interesting to learn about, and i think even jake is learning things (who knew he didnt know it all...;) )
erhmm..yeah.
we've seen the brandenburg gate, the big tv tower (ha. the architecht died like, a year after it was built..so they call it his last erection...teehee), the reichstag (although we havent been in it yet) and a bunch of other things. there is seriously so much to see here, its insane. also, because they just did daylight savings, its getting dark super super fast, and so its getting dark out at like 430, and its really throwing us off...
uhm, what else...
thats all for now.
