Berlin by mortiziia
|
I can’t believe that I can’t almost think in English right now. I’ve been in Berlin for over a week and my structures are already changing. I don’t have the time to write as much as I’d like, and moreover I don’t have a laptop to save all my late night writings. I´m at the Humboldt’s PC Pool, free of charge, and yesterday I was told that in our Hall of Residence, which is in the Sewanstraße, the PC Pool will be opened in about two weeks’ time and will cost perhaps 1 or 2 euro per month. Not bad, and near. Time is money, and it takes a lot of time to get from my flat in the Dolgenseestraße to the Uni.
All administrative proceedings went alright, but let’s face it, it was so because I speak German. I witnessed serious troubles with people who didn´t speak a word of German: here, not everybody speaks English, as it’s often said. Young people perhaps, and Wessies (from the West part during the Wall) too, but there are hundreds of thousands of Ossies who´ve only lived in this English-speaking-world for 15 years.
Berlin is huge, green and grey. I feel as if I’d lived here for all my life, it catches you.
