Die Sonne Scheint in Berlin

Das ist richtig, die Sonne scheint in Berlin!

(that's right, the sun shines in berlin!)

My whole visit here, the sky has been grey. Sightings of the sun have been few and far between, so much so that whenever any of the IES kids see the sun, we point it out. literally.
So, today has been the first actually sunny day, and it is great.
I didn't get up early enough to go on the optional field trip to Postdam, but I think it's okay, i'm enjoying the sun here in Kreuzberg.

I went out to a club called Zapatas last night, and saw a DJ who calimed to play "Pop-punk/Electronica/Funk", but I really don't think that was an accurate description... There was little funk to be had. He DID play that eve/gwen stefani song from forever ago, and also some oasis near the end. very weird. Also he played Kids (MGMT), and no one acted like they had heard it before. I don't know if that is good or bad. I hope that they are over it and it's not that is hasn't come here yet. I don't know if I can go for another round of that song becoming popular (summer 2008 in atlanta and then fall 2008 at pomona...gah)
Also, german boys are not as cute as expected, and even worse dancers. Hopefully it's just that I need to find the right club.

My german is slowly improving, and I can communicate better with not only my host-frau but also with german computers. I helped a guest of my host-frau set up her wireless network on a PC operating with Vista in German. I consider this my finest ITS accomplishment yet.

I've been taking pictures, but I've been using my new HOLGA that takes real film, and i've yet to find a good place to get it developped here, not to mention then finding a scanner so I can put them here. I'll have to set up a Flickr when I get back to put them all up! Hopefully I can find a good camera store soon.
