I gave my presentation this morning on the government and on the upcoming election. It was SUPER boring but it went well and Corinna was pleased.
After presentations we took a mini-field trip to the Mauergedenkstaette (the wall memorial) which was amazing. We got to see some of the original wall and even better an original Niemandsland (no man's land). After checking out the walls on either side of the no man's land we climbed to the top of an observation tower to look down at it. Really, really eerie. It's incredible to me that in my lifetime there were people in the world who thought that the way to govern over people was to keep them enclosed, trapped as prisoners, by a wall.
After the wall and the Mensa (duh!), Perry and I decided to go on an adventure to find an ironing board at Ikea. Don't ask. Instead of finding an Ikea...we found KAUFLAND, aka German Walmart! It was the most UNBELIEVABLE thing ever! Pilsbury rolls, ramon noodles, and 12 euro hair straighteners!!! We celebrated by splurging on chocolate!!
