Rachel: It’s not you, it’s me

So I know I have been neglecting this blog for the last few weeks, and I blame a combination of too many things going on and general laziness on my part for not posting. A few things that have happened in the past few weeks include:

-going to Cologne for a day

-starting my study abroad graduate level art program

-going to documenta 13 art event

-seeing Brad Pitt at said event

-going to Basel, Switzerland for Art Basel-world’s largest international art market

-going to the Berlin Biennial 7

-various artist and art space meetings in Berlin

-visiting various museums in Berlin

-considering moving to Berlin

So, as you can see, quite a lot has happened. I’ll try and update some photos so that you can get a better idea of these events (especially Brad Pitt!) and provide a bit of background on each of them. As my program winds down to its final week here in Berlin I’ll be a bit pressed with our crazy packed schedule and presentations but will do my best to fill you all in!

Rachel: Lessons so far

So now that I’ve been in Germany a little over a week I can let in you in on a few differences I’ve noticed between the two cultures. This list has been formed because of all those small awkward moments you experience while traveling, from ordering something you know at a restaurant and having it come out completely different to trying to work doors (yes, this happened to me). So without any further ado, here’s a list of few German things that are just a little bit different from American [...]

Rachel: First Week in Germany—Sprechen sie Deutsch?

I can’t believe my first week in Germany is over already! I feel like I’ve done so much in the past few days it’s not possible it’s only been a week since I first came here. It’s funny how fast time goes when you’re on vacation exploring and traveling around and how slow it can go when you’re at home, doing the daily 9-5. Backpacking through Germany for two weeks before my study abroad program was definitely the way to go, although I can say already that there have been [...]

Rachel: First solo trip abroad…

To Germany! So background info about me and this trip before we get into the nitty gritty of where I’m at in Germany right now. I’m a student studying advertising/art & design and this summer I have two trips abroad: one for a month in Germany and one for two months in Japan. I love traveling and have been quite a few places so far, but this summer will be some of the longest traveling trips I’ve ever done. I’m in Germany for a study abroad trip through the graduate [...]

Whitney: MskMskMskMskBoomBoomBoomBoom

Last night I went to a party for the international students of Berlin at a club called Kino International and it was really really fun! I went alone and (thankfully) ran into some awesome people right away as we were waiting outside to get in. Our group was made up of a boy from Canada, a girl from the US (me), a girl from France, and a girl from Turkey. You can’t get much more international than that! We went in and there were four different dance floors that each [...]

Whitney: ein Fußballspiel (a soccer game)

Tonight I was lucky enough to go to ein Fußballspiel (a soccer game) here in Berlin. It was very intense! Hertha (the Berlin team) scored three times in the first half, and each time they scored the crowd yelled cheers in unison and made SOO much noise! It was a fantastic atmosphere and because the game was in the evening, we saw a beautiful sunset during the game. Es war die schönsten Nacht!
