Berlin: Drunken Fools, Karaoke Bars and Memories of the Holocaust
Berlin. What a city. Full of history that  both humbled us and brought us to tears at some points. These emotions were offset by the crazy nights, loud music and drunken singing of the karaoke bars. We felt the full spectrum of emotions in this city. Germany surprised us as a country that not only recognizes its mistakes but makes memorials and monuments throughout the country to remind us not to let history repeat itself. Great people, good food and as always, crazy nights and less sleep than is healthy.
