For the New Years holiday, Claron, Eliza and I rode with Claron's labmate, Florian, to Berlin. We stayed in Rohrdamm, which is in the former West Berlin.
The subway stations here are really quite bright; however, they are much dirtier and less accessible (fewer escalators and elevators) than Munich.
Yes, I look really prego here, but it is to be noted that I am wearing two bulky sweaters in addition to my coat.
This is the Fernseherturm (TV tower). It is the former East Germany. We waited in line for quite a while to go up.
Views from the Fernseherturm. Unfortunately, it was a bit cloudy.
This is the German Reichstag (Congressional building). See the dome on the top? To enter the Reichstag and walk the dome, you have to have an appointment. We had a 1:15 p.m. appointment. After the lines at the Fernseherturm, we had to RUN to our appointment here.
This is walking up the dome. See Eliza?
After the Reichstag, we went to a festival at Brandenburg Tor. Unfortunately, I was too tired to take pictures by then. Eliza enjoyed TWO nutella crepes (aka "chocolate tacos"), hot chocolate, fries, and a bratwurst. It started to get cold, so we went back to the hotel and rested for awhile. We had noticed a steak restaurant by our hotel. I looked at the menu and it was only 10 Euro for a filet! So, we tried it, and surprisingly, it was excellent!

I love seeing your adventures from abroad! You guys are such a cute family. Also, all this talk of nutella crepes has me craving one!
