I turned left. I TURNED LEFT!

Friday, Oktober 17

My first full day in Berlin without class in almost a month! How wonderful! So what did I do? Well, I started off the day by laying in bed in my pajamas watching gossip girl until 2pm. And it was fabulous! I went to the Turkish market later on and met up with Hilly and Jarrod which was so much fun...and after, I TURNED LEFT. Now for those of you who aren't familiar with Zoolander this isn't nearly as funny. But for people like Victoria, this is hysterical.

For the last two months I've turned right out of my apartment. Everyday. Every time I left. Crazy huh? Well, after the TM I explored the left side...and its so cool. Some cool cafes, cool little stores, and just a whole new side to a place I though I already knew.

Anyway, we went to get burritos which were obviously sub par but still fun to eat one....

Me and my burrito. love at first sight.
Afterward we went to Oranienstrasse which is about 2 blocks from my house. And again another section of Kreuzberg that I haven't checked out. There are tons of cool bars and shops and I had no idea they were so close to my house!! So cool. I got the chance to hang out with some of the people from my program which was refreshing. Its been a while since I've been with them since I'm always traveling.

Anyway, I headed back to the apartment and packed up for Dresden and got some shuteye knowing I only had a little bit of time before a fabulous weekend in Dresden.
