While he was here we walked around Berlin quite a bit and even did a trip out of the city to a town called Belzig, which has precisely 11808 people (according to Wikipedia). That's something we can't really confirm... but then again who cares. It was a really nice little town with its own fortress and tiny little German houses. Being autumn also helped because all the trees were beautiful shades of red, orange, yellow, gold... On the way back we got off at Zoo and walked home through Tiergarten, which was also incredibly beautiful.
Dad and I visited the Old Museum and looked at the Niffertiti and various other wonderful old statues, mummies, clay pots, etc. Another day was spent in the Technical Museum... which is huge... and definitely worth a visit even if you're not an eight year old boy. I got very excited pressing various buttons and making stuff move. One evening the three of us went up to the Fernsehturm and had a drink at 207 meters... very nice. And yet another day we walked to my uni... it took just over three hours and we had nice coffee and cake in between. Uni is looking really nice right now dressed with all the autumnly trees. Dad was also impressed by the campus and the libraries.
Now that he's gone back to Siberia a feeling of sadness descended... as usual. But I'm hoping I'll be able to go and visit in March... so all's well.
