Don't Forget! Crucial Things to Pack :)

Hey Guys! I just thought I make a list of items that you all may want to put in that suitcase/ carry-on of yours! Here it goes.....

1) Toiletries (toothbrush, toothpaste, soap, shampoo, conditioner)
2) Towel and wash cloths
3) Clothes and shoes (DUH! but pack lightly lol :P)
4) A warm coat, scarf, gloves, etc.
5) Hair dryer
6) Passport (copies perhaps too?)
7) ISIC card
8) Backpack (I don't carry one, but it will probably be good to have one/mini-duffle since we will be traveling)
9) Money Belt (Bet you guys didn't think of this one! When you go to a foreign country, you should always wear a money belt that is close to your body and hidden under your shirt. That way you won't get robbed, AND you can go out (i.e. to party) without having to carry a purse! If you don't have one, get one!

Ok. These are the things that I have come up with so far. If I come up with something else I will be sure to post them. Feel free to add on as well!

p.s. Where are you guys? I am the only one posting on here LOL ;)

Changes

Just so everyone knows, my new blog address is simplybina.blogspot.com. I had to change it up. ;) Ok guys, we're failing with this blog. Let's try to do better in Berlin. si?

You both are fools!!!! BUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA :) And so the countdown continues until Berlin!

Just a (hot) minute little too late?

Well, I do not actually believe in homework... but I will find some interesting places to visit when I head 'home-home' after I finish work in september.  On another note: kudos atha the melody and the chorus of yo song is stuck in my head! good sign.  OMG SO excited to go although I am having tons of fun here (Xtina already knows why ;) i'll tell you why when you come back from China Fong) As I sit here looking out of my window, into the familiar I feel torn.  Torn between wanting to limit -no, limit is not the correct word for I would not want to limit anything about my experiences in life so scratch that- Torn between wanting to surround myself with the familiarity and safety of Stanford and wanting to land in a place where I can experience the thrill of panic and fear as I find myself lost at the crossroads of a street labeled in a foreign language laden with umlauts!  I was freaking out for a second when I realized that the center would probably be closed when I arrive in Berlin but you know what, I can deal.  It will just be another amazing story that I will have in my bag.  And trust me, when I come back in the spring to the familiar my bag will be bursting at the seams (with stories as well as the duty-free wine I will be bringing you guys).  Now I must find something interestng to occupy my time for the next 60 days, 20 hours, 55 minutes, and 33 seconds.  Auf Wiedersehen!

Here's the link that talks about the Zoological Gardens. I thought this might be helpful to look at. It almost shows some other possible attractions to visit in the area and across the city. Ok, I did my homework assignment. I'm late, but I did complete the assignment. What about you May-ra? lol

Another Sight Seeing Suggestion

So I'm thinking that we should check out that museum island that the lady was talking about at orientation. But honestly there is A LOT to see lol. They have a famous Zoo called the Zooglischer Garten. That sounds pretty cool. There's also the Berlin Wall, but of course! ;) We have a lot of history to cover guys. And as I sit here at work doing absolutely nothing productive lol, I am becoming even more excited to leave the country. Can't wait to see you both in September! Turds! :P

Bina, your hair

Bina, you should cut your hair like hers! So pretty ;-).
