A fantastiche day

Thursday was another solid day in Berlin. In the morning we got to meet with Andrew Purvis, an international correspondent and bureau chief for TIME Magazine. In addition to giving us advice about breaking into international journalism, he also touched on ethics, safety and the future of journalism. His intern, Laura, was also there to talk with us.


Afterwards we went to check out Mercedes World, the largest Mercedes dealership in the world. It's a massive 4-story indoor dealership, complete with a cafe, fancy childrens play area and a towering waterfall flanked by two rock climbing walls. Dad, can I get one of these?



Then I went with a few people back to the gigantic KaDeVa department store. Instead of shopping, we went to the top floor and ate decadent desserts sitting next to a window overlooking the street. I got a whipped berry mouse dessert cup. There were champagne grapes in the mouse, and it was topped with various exotic fruits. It was delicious!


Later I went with a couple of people to the "Old Museum" (I know, they're very descriptive with their names) to see the Eygyptian collection, which included the famous bust of Nefertiti. Then back to the hotel for some laundry, blogging and bed!
