The Berlin War Memorial was a pretty powerful experience. I especially like how the ceiling is open, too, leaving the sculpture open to the elements, representing the woman pulling her son off a rainy or snowy battlefield. The trick is to get in there and avoid the tour bus crowds–people running in there, still wearing their hats, talking, laughing, horseplaying, etc. General disrespect, which unfortunately I saw all over, at the Monument to the Murdered Jews of Europe, etc. Part of the reason I don’t like tour bus crowds. But there are tons of excellent memorials and such in Berlin. All over Germany, actually.

Looking forward to doing some beer drinking and skiing in March…

the short version is that you suck because i’ve been looking at your pictures for like an hour instead of studying for a pscych exam at 3:00.

personal favorites include the berlin war memorial, the spice dealer in tuebingen, and the european beer pong tutorial…

see you in March buddy…
