This semester's VIZ students from Texas got to experience for themselves why some call Berlin the only German metropolis. A four-day trip to Germany's capitol opened up possibilities to get to know the city and all its facets first hand.
Not only did the students get an inside view on Germany's eventful history by visiting different museums like the famous Jewish Museum, the impressive Museum Island and attending a guided tour through Sachsenhausen Memorial, but they also learned about contemporary aspects of Berlin's city life while touring the most interesting districts by bike, exploring the streets and trying the huge variety of food Berlin has to offer. Attending the reputable Pictoplasma Festival with its international line-up was another memorable highlight for the Texas group.
Berlin really got the participants hooked, as the following quote of a Texas student shows: “Total awesomeness!”
