International Media-Berlin, Germany
Wednesday May 15, 2013
I cannot believe that the trip is flying by so quickly, it feels like we just got here! Today was another fun filled and educational day in Berlin, Germany. Starting off the day was much easier than it was yesterday because we all rested up. Along with being well rested, the beautiful weather really made a difference on the day.
We started off the day with an AMAZING trip the ZDF. Siting in the morning show audience was something that I will never forget because it really is a once in a lifetime opportunity. Being on the set and so close to the hosts is something that is very different in the States. The German Pop Star that played on the show was also amazing. Her music had such a great beat and she seemed like she was having a lot of fun preforming. After the morning show we got to have a conference with one of the hosts from the morning show. He said so much funny puns and jokes that really added enthusiasm to the confrenece. It was really great that he took the time to sit down and talk to us.
We were able to have a little bit of free time in the middle of the day to grab lunch and do a little exploring. We got to see this huge chocolate store that even had chocolate replicas of the Titanic!
DPA was our other media visit for the day. This agency was really something different to learn about because we really don’t have much like it back in the States. I loved the open office space and how the workers talked freely, if they wanted to, throughout their day. That set up was much different from the average cubicle set up back home. We were privileged to have an amazing photograph editor talk to us about some of his photos. The photo that he took of the pope will be something that I will remember forever.
Later that night we went to the dome of the Reichstag building. The building looked amazing on the outside, but once you climbed the top the outside seemed like nothing! The view from the top was something out of a movie. It would really be the perfect place to go on a date. Andrea and I sat in the dome, on the bench, for 40 minutes. Time passed by so quickly! We just looked up at the sky and clouds.
Today was another amazing day in Berlin, but I believe that I am ready to move on to Munich!
