Berlin Reichstag

It was my 3rd times to Reichstag, but this time i went with friends from my University. We were 11 people (actually it should be about 20 people). It was fun. The weather was ok dispite the cold wind, the sun shine brightly. We should met in front of the Reichstag at 10:15am, but i & decky came 20minutes late. We thought that the rest of our frends was already went in, but they weren't. They were still wating for the rest. After I & decky arrived, we were still waiting for about 20 more minutes then we went in. Before we could came in to Reichstag, we recieved a visitor card, then we must passed the security check first. There are 2 security checks, first they checked our passpor, after that we walked through the scaner.

If everything is ok, then we waited for the group to went in together. We can't walked in by our self. From the security check, one of the amployee acompanied us. There are 2 doors, after all the group were passed the 1st door, then the 2nd would be opened for us. From there we could direct wait for the elevator / take some information brochure about Reichstag.

Freezing

Hallo, here i am again. for now on i'll try to write my blog in english. i know it's not perfect, but i hope it's understandable.

This year winter come to late. acctually it should started to snow on January, but there was no snow and the temprature wasn't wintery at all. I thought there will be no winter this year and i'm kind off miss the snow, BUT at the end of January the weather strarted to be colder each day. 2 days ago the temprature in Germany was -10 degrees celcius but it fells like -25 degrees celcius and i can't feel my toes anymore.

Well i guess we just need to be ready for the coldest winter so far. Drink warm drinks like hot tea, it's really helpfull against the cold and don't forget to wear something as warm as we can, especially for your feet.

Have a nice winter for all of us.
