Today was the first day of classes. Students learned about the Evolution of the German Economy and the The German Export Economy respectively from Thomas Hume and Oliver Wieck. In the afternoon we were treated to a wonderful tour of Berlin by our wonderful guides Monica and Michael. The tour started at Brandenburg Gate, a place famous for welcoming guests to Berlin, and the spot where in 1963 John F. Kennedy proclaimed "Ich bin ein Berliner"--"I am a Berliner" while underlining the support the United States had for West Berlin. The tour continued on to other historical parts of the city, including, Check Point Charlie, the Holocaust Memorial, and the remainder of the Berlin Wall. We are looking forward to exploring Museum Island tomorrow.
