Last Thursday, I went to the Pergamon Museum, which is basically the recreation of a Greek temple: the Germans took the ruins of a temple from Greece and reassembled a decent amount of it within a museum.

*intricate floor mosaics-- the tiles were so incredibly small*
*tom, kujtime and ryan outside of the gallery*
On Friday I went with Kristina and her fiance Jeremy to the Turkish market, which is by far my favorite market in Europe. It's super crowded, the men at the stalls yell out prices and try to get you to taste their fruit, and the smells and sights are from all over the world. Best of all, everything is really affordable, unique and fresh.

Then I went to Schloss Bellevue, a palace in the center of Tiergarten, where the Bundespraesident lives. I happened to be there when some diplomatic party was being held, so there were police everywhere and a drum and trumpet corps playing on the front lawn.
