Blip #1 of Undetermined Number

So this is my first Blip. I'm studying in Berlin for the semester, with both blazar and wetcement and it's amazing. We've been here since March, and just today I got my act together to start my Blip.

What a day it was to start. The photo is of an advertisement I saw through the bus window. That being said, I thought it came out OK. At first I thought the trees were in the way, but after further review, I think they kind of add to it. The sign says (loosely translated), "Berliner, do you want to see another wall?" It's an advertisement for a flight to China, but a seemingly controversial quote to be on a sign. Maybe not, but I would think so.

Today was a great day as I said, and was topped off with a cookout in Monbijou Park, where we met some cool German guys. I guess it makes the picture somewhat ironic given the discussion I had with a 29 year old German guy about the politics and society of East Germany, and more specifically East Berlin. It was so interesting to get his perspective and he told me he appreciated mine. What made it even better was that this conversation took place all in German.

So anyway, here's my first Blip, and here's to many more to come.
