The largest portion of the Berlin Wall still standing in its original place is called the East Side Gallery. Our group went there for class one day. It was interesting to see all the different art that was painted on the wall. Some of them were really strange. We also went to a bridge that is near by. The bridge is familiar to anyone who has seen the movie "Run Lola Run" because Lola runs across it several times throughout the movie. Like the crazy people we are when we are in a group we decided that it would be awesome if we reenacted that part of the movie by running under the bridge. The following picture shows us doing that very thing.
For Family Home Evening (FHE) that week we watched a video clip on youtube called Validation. It is sixteen minutes long, but it is funny and makes you feel good so I liked watching it.
We also went to the old Hamburger Bahnhof which is now a museum of contemporary art. These are a few of the works we saw:
 |
| River Avon Mud Circle by: Richard Long |
 |
| Cagney by: Andy Warhol |
We also visited the Jewish Museum. It is an odd building, because it is built on a slant to make things feel uncomfortable...as if the subject matter (the Holocaust) wasn't enough on its own. It was a good place to visit and it was informational so I don't regret going.
Our German class was made up of people from all over the world. We had people from the United States, Greece, Russia, Switzerland, Italy, England, Spain, Australia, and France.
