allein in der stadt

I've recently realized how little time I have left here and it's making me anxious. There is so much to see and I have the means to do so... all I'm missing is time.

Metaphor for life? I'm too young. I'll push that thought aside until I am further from the standard 21 y/o's invincibility delusions.

So, being a real German now (of course, didn't you know?), I am actively tackling this problem by going out every day and foregoing routine. I ask myself what I am doing online now.

Anyway, I had a great day alone in Berlin. First to the Reichstag, the house of Parlaiment. The building itsself is a great visual of how Germany, and specifically Berlin, is a cohesive blend of old and new, even with spotted history so prominent in recent remembrance. Atop the original building is a modern dome that gives views out to Berlin. Reflections and use of glass (including a view down over actual parlaimentary proceedings) are meant to symbolize transparency of government. I want to write more, so much more, but... again with the time. But it was definitely a must-see.
& then to the Jewish Museum with really interesting architecture on the new half.
