berlin, berlin

i finally arrived in berlin on sunday, after my flight had been delayed for two days due to the weather conditions on the east coast. waiting for two days wasn't too bad, since that gave me time to finish up my final papers and spend tow more days with brian. berlin is the way it always is in the winter, even though i had forgotten how grey and cold it is. maybe the sudden transition from california to here makes the difference more striking. i wonder if i am going to see the sun at all while i'm here...
