*cheeeeerss?
I just realised there's no word in Malay for Cheers. Germans have their 'prost!', Chinese have their 'Gan Bei'.......I shall forever be remembered as the girl from the country with no word for 'cheers'.... or maybe there is...i just can't figure it out..... so if u know...DO let me know.... no yum seng yum seng all ar.... that's canto la...

Interesting first impressions about berlin
1) It is the LAW for cars to stop for pedestrians. Imagine Cars STOPS for pedestrians!! *Gasp!
2) There are more Asians in Berlin than you think. *Woo!
3) Gwailos are not all tall, big and bulky. My dorm mate is shorter than me, my supervisor is skinny like ah pok *Muahaha!
4) Germans speak pretty good English. *Yay!
5) Walking alone after dark is quite safe. *Waa!
6) All shops close at 8pm weekdays, and closed on Sundays. *Har?
7) Trams, Trains and Bus doors don’t automatically open. You have to press the open button *Hmm….
8) Germans don’t just eat sausages and sauerkraut everyday. As long as there’s meat, then it’s German. *urp..
9) You can bring your pet dogs anywhere, even into the subways. (All the dogs I’ve seen are so so so cute) *aaww….
10) All TV Channels are in German. Listen to Gil Grissom, Catherine Willows, Nick Stolkes, Nick Brown and Sara speak German. *ahah…
*yay!
Yuhooo~~ Guten Tag! How are you ppl? Miss me or not? I've landed! Berlin is pretty cool. Oh, if my typing is abit off...blame it on the keyboard, it's different.....some keys are not the same place it used to be. ie the 'Z' and the 'Y' is switched . So I'm typing this real slow...
Oh....my flight was ok...11 hours to reach Vienna....and flight was delayed to Berlin....waited 3 hours for my transit....reached Berlin later than planned....so the AIESEC guys were already waiting...some even din have enuff sleep the day b4...:p (Sorry guys to keep you waiting) 3 AIESECers were there to 'welcome' me...Thomas...Adrian and Oleg....
Then they sent me to my room at 'Wernecheuser Str.' See the 'Wern' there? It's easier for me to remember where I stay....haha....good thinking those ppl... the room is actually a 'dorm'..there're 2 rooms, a washroom and a mini kitchen. i'm sharing it with another girl. A cute chic she is..Ana *wink* Jeevan *wink* hehe...
Then it was off for lunch! So I had my 1st meal of Grilled Pork Sausage and Sauerkrout! Sorry...i forgot to take photos of that... :p next time lar ya....after lunch and some registeration stuff....i headed back to my room....and on the way Thomas showed me some shops where I could buy groceries and stuff... it's supposed to be cheaper to cook than to eat outside....so expect some cooking disaster stories here soon.... :p And so i passed out at 7pm and woke up at 7am the next day...which is today....
OK...back to Berlin....everything here is so organized.... you have procedures for everything. And they're pretty strict about paperwork. You have to register where you stay at the nearest 'town hall/registration office' I've done that today, and opened a bank account...with help from the AIESEC ppl of course. After this would be goin for some sightseeing i think.....
alrite....that's a pretty long post for today.....shall update later....about work mebbe.....Auf Wiedersehen!
