East Side Gallery and Berliner Dom

Today was another good day for all of us. We started off the day with our exchange partners, where we went to their class for 45 minutes (half the time of a full period in Germany) and participated in the lessons. We then walked from the school to the train station where we caught the train to Berlin Ostbahnhof to visit the East Side Gallery. It was covered in Grafiti which we were all very inspired by as it was used after the second world war to separate East Berlin from West Berlin. After taking lots of photos we grabbed some lunch and we had a guided tour of the Berliner Dom which had an interestingly short history but was "sehr schön". Fast Fact: After a bomb raid in Berlin from allies during WW2 the Berliner Dom's roof concaved inwards and fell crumbling to the floor resulting in the crushing of a sarcophagace which was a level below the ground floor of the Berliner Dom. After the tour we all then caught the train back to Werder from Berlin Friedrichstaße where we were picked up by our host families. (Mitchell)
