After we had been to Madame Tussauds, we went shopping on Friedrichstrasse, and then we went to Alexanderplatz and Alexa to do some more shopping. We also went to a really good restaurant to have dinner! After that, our feet hurt so much, that we decided to go to Dunkin’ Donuts to get some donuts we could take with us back to the ho(s)tel, and then just have a relaxing evening. I think we were back at the ho(s)tel at around 20, and then we just relaxed and talked all evening. Cosy! The next day we were going home, sitting on a bus from 11 until 21.30 in the evening.

Efter vi havde været på Madame Tussauds, tog vi ud for at shoppe på Friedrichstrasse, og så tog vi til Alexanderplatz og Alexa for a shoppe lidt mere. Vi var også inde på en rigtig god restaurant for at få noget aftensmad! Efter dog, blev vi enige om at tage tilbage til ho(s)tellet for at slappe af, fordi vores fødder gjorde så ondt, så vi købte os nogle Dunkin’ Donuts som vi kunne tage med. Vi var nok tilbage ved ho(s)tellet omkring klokken 20, og så slappede vi bare af og snakkede hele aftenen. Hyggeligt! Dagen efter tog vi hjem, hvor vi sad i en bus fra klokken 11 indtil klokken 21:30 om aftenen.

When we finished at Berlin Hohenschönhausen, we were able to do whatever we wanted in Berlin – so one of my classmates and I went to Madame Tussauds! It was my first time ever, visiting a Madame Tussauds, and I found it really awesome to actually see how well made some of these wax figures are made. Wow! Anyway, I just wanted to show you a FEW of the hundreds of pictures we took in there. You should definitely go there if you get the chance!

Da vi var færdige i Berlin Hohenschönhausen, fik vi lov til at gøre hvad vi nu end havde lyst til i Berlin – så en af mine klassekammerater og jeg, tog hen til Madame Tussauds! Det var første gang jeg nogensinde besøgte en Madame Tussauds, og jeg synes det var ret fedt at se hvor godt lavet nogle af de her voksfigurer var lavet! Wow! Nå, men jeg ville bare lige vise jer et PAR af de hundrede af billeder vi tog derinde. I burde virkelig tage derhen hvis I får chancen!

On day 3, we got up and went to see the Stasi prison, Berlin Hohenschönhausen. We had a guide that had actually been in the prison for 3 months when Germany was split into GDR/DDR and West. 

We had been taught about this prison for some time in German class, so it was exciting to finally see it with your own eyes. It was also a bit brutal to know everything that had been going on there and what they have been doing to people back in time, but still exciting to see.

På dag 3, tog vi hen for at se Stasi fængslet, Berlin Hohenschönhausen. Vi havde en guide som faktisk havde sat i fængslet i 3 måneder da Tyskland var delt op i DDR og Vest.

Vi har lært om det her fængsel i et stykke tid i tysk timerne, så det var spændene endelig at se det med sine egne øjne. Det var også lidt brutalt at vide alt hvad der havde sket der og hvad de har gjort imod folk tilbage i tiden, men stadig spændene at se.

Time for the last pictures from day 2! 

After we had been to the DDR museum, we were split up in groups to go do interviews in different areas in Berlin. Our area was Neukölln, so we spend some time there and interviewed around 5 people. After that, we went to Alexanderplatz to get something to eat, and then into the huuuuge and awesome shoppingcenter, Alexa. 

Så er det tid til de sidste billeder fra dag 2!

Efter vi havde været i DDR museumet, blev vi delt op i grupper for at lave interviews i forskellige bydele i Berlin. Vores område var Neukölln, hvor vi brugte noget tid og interviewede omkring 5 mennesker. Efter det, tog vi hen til Alexanderplatz for at få noget at spise, og dernæst ind i det stooooore og fantastiske shoppingcenter, Alexa.

After that, we met up with the rest of my class at 17:30 by Brandenburger Tor, and then we were going to go see Reichstag. When done there, we went to see the Manmal of the Judes, and then go to a restaurant at Unter den Linden, where we had Italian dinner. 

Efter det, mødtes vi med resten af klassen kl. 17:30 ved Brandenburger Tor, og så gik vi hen for at se Reichstag. Da vi var færdig der, så gik vi hen for at se jødernes “mindesmærke”, og så fik vi italiensk aftensmad på en restaurant på Unter den Linden.
