Germany

Picture of me and Emre in Bremen.

We just got back from a 9 day trip to Germany. We spent 4 days with Emre's sister Eda and her husband Heiko in Bremen, a charming small city of 500,000 people in the north. They were fantastic hosts and introduced us to the morning cocktail "fruhshop" and their favorite game, bluff, which we also got addicted to.

We had 4 1/2 days in Berlin, which was really amazing. Compared to Istanbul, the public transportation is AMAZING (Although people openly drinking beer on the U-bahn was a bit suprising. It was definitely a bit sketchy at night, and there is graffitti EVERYWHERE.)
