Leaving DC was quite hard for me, the prospect of moving into one of the best and biggest German cities promised to be a little distraction from my heartbreaking farewell though.

free ferry boat trips on the river Elbe

Dreizimmerwohnung: going out with my fav Maltesian friend

I was really lucky of being able to move into Chris' flat for a while, because due to it being situated Beim Schlump, I am in walking distance to beer and dancing. Its like still living in Dupont Circle and being able to walk to Adams Morgan and finding one's way back home easily.

I cannot wait for uni to start, to meet more and more interesting people and to build upon old friendships.
