The last week of May I was in Berlin for our official Congress-Bundestag 2010-2011 exchange seminar. Aside from checking out Berlin and the Bundestag (Germany’s Parliamentary headquarters), we had a lot of reflecting over the coarse of our exchange year. I was fortunate to meet once more with my “congresswoman” in Germany’s Bundestag. She was able to show me much more of the Bundestag and I was able to get very nice photos. Berlin is an amazing historic city in eastern Germany with a population of around three million. It’s the largest city in Germany and it also serves as its capital. I had a great time and I can’t believe that another year is done…this trip officially marked the end of my time in Germany. The link above is a video of us in the news with all the Congress-Bundestag scholars as we met in Berlin.

The weekend prior to my “end-of-the-year” trip with my organisation in Berlin, my host-family and I went water-skiing (it’s now hot enough)! It was a water-skiing course in which you hang on as a cable pulls you–very different and much fun. There were several large ponds with gliding cables that you hang on with as you ski.
