This has been my 3rd day in Berlin and so far I love it! It is so amazing! It's very difficult to even start telling you all the things that have already happened. First off- I have no idea how frequent I will be able to update because the computer I am using is my host brother's and he is out of town... so once school starts I'm not sure if I'll be able to use the computer often. But since I have access now I will talk a little bit about what I have been up to.
today I woke up very early and couln't get back to sleep. My time is still a little bit messed up! Anyways... after the family woke up we had an amazing breakfast with smoothies and meat and bread and cheese and expresso and coffee and so many very good German foods. After that me and my family went to Potsdam. It is a city a couple of kilometers outside of Berlin. We first went around the famous landmarks and castles which was very cool to see, and after we drove around the city and ended up going to a Biergarten! It was so cool! Like authentic beer garden. Next to a lake... I had the best food I have ever had! So many things I have never even seen or heard of before. And of course I had some famous Berlin beer which was so delicious I have no words to describe... It is nothing like American beer! One thing my family is good at is feeding me. They do not take NO for an answer. They are always telling to to eat more and more and I always say, Nein Ich bin Satt (no I am full) but they think I am being shy! hahaha... I am not being shy! I am very full ALL the time! I definitely will be putting on weight! Well thats it for now... Tomorrow I am going with my mother to get my public transportation pass and then I will meet a bunch of exchange students in downtown Berlin. I'm super excited for that!!! After that I will go to my first rotary meeting and present to them about myself. I am not sure how that will go but I hope it will go good... Just for the record... It is so weird having German around me at all times. My speech is getting so German-like ALREADY! I was laughing today because I caught myself speaking in English to my family and pronouncing the W with a V. Well.. .Until later!
