1st day- The Beginning

I stepped out of Tegel airport and into the city of Berlin. My first memory is of bright orange banners and advertisement screens. It occurred to me that I had subconsciously expected Berlin to be completely different from America and was surprised to see a lot of similarities between the two countries. Aside from the various German signs that I could not read, I was able to recognize nearly everything from the BMW cars and the large glass buildings to H&M dresses and Adidas bag.

As the bus speeds off towards Alexanderplaz, I started to notice more unique buildings, churches, stores, and as each of these flash before my eyes, I realized that I was in a whole new country.
