The Sony Center was massive and I have never seen anything in my life that shared the same type covering design that was used for the Sony Center.
The Reichstag was sensational in that it really showed it's age from the exterior, but once entering the world-renowned structure, you'd only have known how old it was by some of the remodeling that included original pieces from before the remodel. I found the building very interesting, but left a bit disappointed having not been able to go up into the dome.
The two days spent in Hamburg were arguably my favorite of the trip. Maybe this was due to my preconceived notion of Germany that much of the country shared the same characteristics. Always being quite close to the water was really refreshing. While in Hamburg, a few of us were fortunate enough to go up into the spire of St. Michael's Church. Being able to see over much of Hamburg was brilliant.
In one of the last days in Berlin, we were able to see the Olympiastadion. Not really a shock that I enjoyed seeing the stadium. Such a massive structure with a coliseum-esque feel to it. I've been to many different stadiums in America and nothing compares. It was a bit unfortunate that the only day Hertha Berlin had a match there, while we were in Germany, was the day we were in Hamburg.
This doesn't qualify as one of the "best parts of the trip", but an interesting experience indeed. McDonald's. To order a decent sized meal, I usually came out 10 euros lighter. For the most part the food tasted the same, but the menu did not share the same variety that an American McDonald's would have. Also, this McDonald's, which I believe was in a shopping mall, had a very odd placed pillar. When ordering, the pillar restricted you from seeing the whole menu. Very odd. German engineering?
I shared a flat with two excellent dudes in Tyler and Konstantinov. We were able to share some incredible experiences while in Germany that I'm sure we'll all remember for the rest of our lives.
