It's been a while and I'm glad to tell you that I'm finally, finally in Germany after the long awaited visa/passport arrived at my door on 7/6; flew to Berlin on 7/7 and now I've been here for 3 days. It's been exciting - do you know we can carry around beer and drink in public? I'm used to carrying Starbucks around, not Beck's (it's a really good German mixed beer).
Susi, my buddy/roommate is really nice and made me breakfast on my first morning. I must say, the bread is exquisite! Love, love, love German bread. Apparently there are around 100 types of them; I guess I'll try to conquer them all.
On my way to my office at Alexanderplatz, I found the iconic Berlin TV Tower, or they call it Berlin Fernsehturm. Yes, it does look like Seattle's Space Needle or Shanghai's Oriental Pearl Tower - very uncreative of us making the same thing all over the world. Apparently this toothpick - they call it that way too (Telespargel) is the highest building in Berlin, about 1,197 ft or 365m.

It's still Wednesday and since I'm working from 9 to 6, I don't really explore Berlin that much - but will do that on the weekends! Speaking of weekends, I've counted how many weekends I have here - 11, and I have a plan. Tune in for the surprise. (Hint: listen to B.O.B's "So Good")
This is also in Alexanderplatz. Notice the fountain there? Apparently it's the famous International Fountain of Friendship. Around this square, there's a huge department store - Galleria and Saturn (similar to Best Buy).
PS: I'm documenting my pictures and my life here cause I don't want to lose them again - remember the Egypt iPhone tragedy? Yes, I lost all my pictures from 3-months Egypt trip. Tragic.
