I just arrived in Berlin to spend a week following up on the first half of fieldwork Melinda accomplished. Here’s a few tidbits from my arrival:
– Customs was easy breezy! Just a couple of kiosks outside the arrival gate. In, out and oh so fast.
– I can eat deli meat every morning for breakfast if I want to.
– Coffee. Strong, delicious coffee.
– Berlin does not feel overwhelming or chaotic. I am grateful for that.
– I kind of like Berliner fashion. It looks comfortable, a little bit urban chic and has nice walkable shoes.
More later…fieldwork for me starts tomorrow.
