Scenes from Berlin
We’ve been working in a couple of my classes on reflections, essays, and projects from the Berlin trip. Berlin is a hard city to describe…. every time I thought I had gotten an idea of the vibe of the city, I encountered some totally different aspect of it. So here are three quick scenes,…

Berlin + Prague, part I
It’s been a busy week in Freiburg! Classes started, and I was sick earlier in the week. I’m feeling a lot better today though, and ready to post more updates! For Berlin and Prague, we broke up into two groups of about 30. I was in Group B for this trip, which focuses on economics…
