One Week in Berlin (3)

During my one week stay in Berlin, I spent a lot of time walking. I walked so much that I bruised my toes, but there were one day that I spent in the house by accident...


One Week in Berlin (2)


What I did in Berlin was joining a free walking tour for a day. Of course nothing comes free, I did have to pay tips to the guide, but it was well worth the money for all the great information during the tour.

One Week in Berlin (1)

I made a stop in Berlin before heading to my school. Since I have a friend & a place to stay, I've decided to make it a one week journey.

The very first thing I experience was of course, their food: Berliner Weisse!

Icelandic Cuisine

Everything closes very early in Iceland. After a long day with the tour, I walked around the city myself and lost track with the time...because the sky doesn't get dark! I walked around to look for a restaurant, but everything was closed after 10pm. I finally walked into a restaurant with my puppy face and asked "Is there any other restaurant open at this time?" around 10:20pm. And thankfully with the wonderful people, they let me in! : D I would've cried so hard missing this meal after a long day without lunch...



Iceland Day 2- Golden Circle & Blue Lagoon

Iceland is not allowed to import any horses, and exported horses are not allowed to return. That is why Icelandic horses are now the world's most isolated breed of horse in Iceland. They are pony-sized, but very hardy. Orignally from Mongolia.





Iceland Day 1- South Shore

In booking my tickets to Germany for my one year stay, I decided to make a stop at Iceland! Which only cost me 10USD more for the flight. The only disadvantage was that I can only have one check in luggage with the second flight from Iceland to Berlin...oh well! : D
