schicken und schneiden
50MG of sent email attachments and a watermelon later, Sheila and I are finally heading to bed. Since seven this evening all that we did was eat dinner, get a bit lost on the way back home and then “schicken und schneiden” – a process that involved an endless number of email attachments for turning in her project (schicken) and the constant cutting (schneiden) and consumption of watermelon while waiting for the technology to do its magic. I feel slightly sick and a bit over hydrated.
We also sent off a couple of people today – Zu back to camp and Brandon off to Münster. The highlight of his departure (which at the time was just a very stressful situation) was the fact that with 10mins before his train was to depart he still didn’t have a ticket. He bought one online and we needed a printer to print it. The people at the Deutsche Bahn told us they couldn’t help us, the internet station at the Burger King was also printerless, and the lady at the T-Punkt cell phone store (I don’t really know why I decided that they might have a printer) told us that there wasn’t an internet café within miles of the train station. Great. But there’s a solution to every problem and this time it was the photo printing shop and the use of one amazing USB stick. We even had enough time to get some coffee (mainly because his train was leaving 15min later than we thought).
The rain clouds were still hovering above Berlin today, so after sending Brandon off and a short sojourn to the river side bar café to just breathe and relax for a moment, Sheila and I headed to the Jewish Museum. It’s huge and the building is very modern and there is a lot of information there. After spending almost 3 hours there, we only really made it through one of the three floors of the permanent exhibition and the temporary Freud exhibition. After it I’ve decided that bloging is like online psychoanalysis.

Was it as freezing in Berlin as it was in Appenzell...and by freezing I mean 15C. AND, you didn't tell me Santis was a real, real mountain with a sharp ridge and parts that rival a via ferrata! (I may exaggerate slightly.) Good times in the fog/wind/freezing cold. But great "what the heck?!" looks from the people who had taken the funicular up ;-)
