Went to Berlin for a consumer electronics show IFA. That was cool....but I didn't get to see the city because I was at the tradeshow and then the hotel the whole time :P.
Well...that´s not entirely true...I did see some of the city via train. I had to cross Berlin (which is HUGE) from West to East Berlin to go from the tradeshow to the airport. I took a flight from Berlin to Copenhagen to go visit Adam, Karin and Noah.
Passing from West to East Berlin was amazing...you can definitely see the difference. West Berlin is much more modern, while East Berlin in a way seems to be in ruins. I can´t say much because I didn´t get to really get to know the city. I can say for sure that I will go back to Berlin at some point.
Denmark was great. I hadn´t seen my cousin Adam in years and it was really cool to see how he has been living the last few years. For those of you who don´t know....Adam´s wife Karin is Danish and they decided to move to Denmark together and raise their son, Noah. Who is adorably cute :).
They have a really cool house in the countryside outside of Copenhagen. Their house connects to Karin´s parents´ house which is cool for Noah because he has his grandparents right next door.
Adam showed me how to cook pizza and chinese food :). He´s a good cook...I definitely ate well.
Adam has been in Denmark for years...I´ve been in Spain for about 10 months...being away from home so long really makes you realize how much we took things for granted in the US. Really....we were able to relate in that way. It´s like...you have to hunt down things like French´s mustard, bagels, peanut butter, tortillas. It´s not just food....the customs are different. The schedules....work habits....everything. It´s another world.
