“I am a Berliner. So, I took the bus and visit my friend in Wilmersdorf. And I spoke German with Turkish taxi drivers. I ate Wiener Schnitzel, real Wiener Schnitzel, and potato salad. It was a little too cool. I spent time on the river, walked along the remnants of the Berlin Wall and the East Side Gallery, climbed halfway up the Victory Tower, and found a badass goddess to take a photo with. And I met a great author, Martin Jankowski. And I'm with my new friends. Yes indeed! Thank you very much!”
