Just a Thought

I think I'll start to lose a little identity in this world. Maybe "confuse" is a better word than "lose."

I'm still in Berlin, and I am already thinking about Kyoto, to which I applied for next spring. Now that I've been accepted, what to do...?

Living in different places, loving all of them but at the same time feeling a sense of not belonging there because real home feels like somewhere else... It's a little confusing sometimes to consider. I wonder where I will be living in the future.

...

Since it's been so long since I've written, and I'm betting anyone who reads this is also a friend of mine on Facebook, I'll leave it up to you to look at my Vienna (no, Sim, not Vienna Teng) photographs on there and save the rest of this post for a long overdue series of photographs from the past few weeks.

 Ballet at the Staatsoper Berlin (BING sponsored event)

 Dunkin' Donuts... I find it slightly hilarious that the first time I have it is in Germany.

Iron Man 2 at the ridiculous Sony Center movie theater, complete with red curtain and ice cream selling.

Hohenschoenhausen, Berlin; former prison in the former East Germany.

 Beautiful red building on Alexanderplatz.

Leipzig, a city just south of Berlin; German class midterm fieldtrip. (Assignment: give a presentation of a locale in Leipzig, in German, to the class. Part one of the midterm.)

Late nights spent doing E40, whether it's section, lab, or homework. Love the professor, despise the late evenings when the U-Bahn closes.

The Jewish Museum, select architectural aspects and installation.

Graffiti. (Enough said.)

Indoor market hall, just a block from my apartment. Includes warm food, cheese, produce, meat, and even toys. Bought a mango. Just ate it before finishing this post.

 
Randomly finding fashion that I want to learn to make with my own sewing machine once I return to Cali.

Outdoor Turkish market, which I loved despite the dreary weather. It's been quite dismal with the rain and freezing cold in this Berlin springtime.

And, finally, completing a very impromptu cosplay duo with a friend in time for today's b.e.v.i.t.

I think a post on food needs to happen soon before those photos are too many to put in one post...
