Rainy Day!


It is pouring rain here! And very windy, but that isn't stopping us from going out and experiencing the city life. Went on a tour of Berlin yesterday, saw so many gorgeous buildings and people. Did I mention how everyone is attractive? Haha! No wonder so many models are foreign... I'm meeting so many people here, and not just people from Berlin, but people who live all over the world from Spain to France to China, etc. One thing I have been noticing the more I meet other people is how we communicate as humans with other people who do not speak our same language! It is amazing how two people speaking two completely different languages can actually understand one another through hand motions, facial expressions, symbols, writing, etc! Thumbs up seems to be a hand motion understandable in most cultures, however a friend told me in some countries it is like their version of the middle finger! Whoops, gotta be careful. I met a couple french boys who said I wrote "like a computer", by this meaning not in cursive. They were cracking up at my handwriting and were so surprised not all Americans write in cursive. Anyways, I keep forgetting I'm here for school and am getting behind on my reading so I better go catch up.  PS TOMS shoes in the rain is a no-go! Felt like I was sloshing around in wet socks all day. haha.
