A spring break well spent


I find that the best way to explore a city is to get lost within it. Once all the iConference workshops and presentations ended, I spent my last couple of days in Berlin wandering apart from my group. In addition to "people watching" at the local cafe and getting souvenirs for family and friends, I also took self-guided walks in several of the tourist attractions on my bucket list—most notably, the Pergamon Museum (their version of the Smithsonian) and the Reichstag (their version of The White House, pictured above). These two visits in tandem painted a holistic picture of Germany's past and provided a contemporary outlook on the country's current affairs. The historian within me drew interesting parallels between Germany and the United States, as these two countries actually have much more in common than meets the eye.

One week flew by way too quickly. I wish I could have stayed in Germany longer, but I really feel that I made the most out of my time here. Fortunately, I documented my journey through the lens of my Galaxy S4 phone so I can revisit these experiences any time I wish. Feel free to take a look!
