Weekend in Berlin




We had a great weekend in Berlin getting a chance to visit the Charite Hospital which is the largest hospital in Germany. Additionally we got a great lecture on the German Healthcare System from a colleague at The Berlin University School of Public Health. We also had a chance to see the Berlin Wall, Tv Tower, the Brandeberg Gate, and many museums. Berlin is a very great seen with many parks, trees, and has a lively progressive spirit. This was envibed by our tour of the Bundestag or the Parliament-Congress of the German Federal government. We also had the chance to see the Bears of Tolerance and Peace which lined the streets of Berlin. We had a photo contest to see who could take the most unique photo. I won as my colleagues from Scotland and Germany said, "I cannot beat the man who stands on his head." Off to enjoy week 2.
