A learning experience

 I arrived in Berlin on Saturday morning and up until now we have tried to get my press pass, but because I am classified as an intern I was not able to get a pass into the shows. My friend and host Sylvio, was able to because he is a director and producer, but he does not want to go.

It's not going to get me down, I still had the chance to go inside and check out all the fun things that were about to happen. 

Hopefully I will get to see some of the action from the outside. Next year I know exactly what I need to bring and do. It's a learning experiece and I am glad that I had the chance to be inside and see the sights.

Check out Berlin Fashion week starting tomorrow.

After a day of running around for MBFW and Bread and Butter, I didn't get that press pass either, we went back where I had a lovely lunch. There is a market and bakery across the street from his house so I went over a bought, I don't know what, but it was yummy. I ate half and left the other half for tomorrow. 

Today was catch up day. I got to talk to Ally aka biffle, mom, Cindy to let her know I will be arriving in Turkey on Monday, and daddy of course. It's nice to hear familiar voices. Not being able to understand German is really hard, but I am learning a few words every day. Today I learned, street, numbers 1-5, and something else but I forgot, oops X. I will learn more tomorrow. I would like to learn as much as possible before leaving. 

Tomorrow it's predicted to snow. I am so excited! Before I arrived it was a winter wonderland here, but evidently there was a "warm" front that melted the snow.

Today has been by far the coldest day. I love it, but once that wind blows, it gets REALLY cold, I was shivering uncontrollably at one point. To keep warm I wore a cami, long sleeve shirt, blazer, scarf, and coat. 

                

     

After relaxing for a couple hours, Gina came home from school and we went into town. I pulled out some money, 200 USD = 266 and some change Euro, OUCH! Europe is expensive. We then went around town and picked up a few things. I also went to my first H&M! It was amazing. I bought a cute sweater for 10 €. Gina loves chocolate, so she was buying some when I found, Yogurette. It's milk chocolate with strawberry pieces and cream; so delicious.   

Alright, it's off to enjoy the night. Until tomorrow. XO
