Finally There

The first few days of arriving were both fun and chaotic. The first day consisted of stuffing students’ suitcases into a mercedez-benz taxi (which is the norm here) and heading off to the hotel. Not being used to the ice, we shuffled across the street into our hotel for the night.

The next few days could only be described as “control chaos”. With moving into our apartments, unpacking and buying German groceries. The first day of school was equally as hectic as we all scrambled around in one giant big loud group trying to figure out the bus system to school and how to get to the cafĂ©. The Freie Univeristy was not your average campus back in the states. It was much more spread out and more integrated into the surrounding area. It would take me a few extra days to figure out how to navigate my way around.

On the weekend we hopped around a few bars and checked out a club. The music scene is unbelievable in this city. There are hundreds and hundreds of clubs and that are very into the DJ culture. Its definitely good to be in the know of music here because it usually dictates which club will be the most popular on the weekends.
