So now we are in Berlin... finally a place where we have the internet, freely, in our hotel so that we can finally do our homework! But on a sadder note... this kid that is the youngest one on the trip and who is socially awkward had some trouble last night. He had been complaining that his back hurt, his tailbone area, but nobody believed him. Then he was almost reduced to tears from the pain, had to go to the hospital last night, and had emergency surgery. Apparently he had an ingrown hair that created a cist that was so deep that they had to put him under to cut it out. And now, he has to fly back to the states tomorrow because he can't do anything. Poor kid. However, today we had a guided tour by an Aussie. It was cool. And we went to the Reichstag- the German Parliament building that was also the seat of the Nazis. We were also teaching our Czech bus driver, Jan, who speaks Czech and German, how to speak the English through my German translations of words. It was a good time. But he has a hard time with the 'th' sound as many who are not native English speakers do.
Yesterday we went on a tour of the Volkswagen factory in Dresden. It was very cool and we were able to do a driving simulator thing in the new car model they are producing. It's called the Phaeton. It's very nice. They make 30 cars per day in this particular factory. I had a lot of fun!
Anywho, tomorrow we are doing something... I think perhaps some sort of museum but I can't recall. Oh well. Until next time...
