Berlin Day 2

Berlin, Day 2
Today, after breakfast, we walked all the way to the Deutsche Welle building. Deutsche Welle is a large German T.V. broadcasting agency. We met up with five Brown students there, and split into two groups for a tour of the building.




First we saw a room in which they film one of their shows, and the tour guide explained to us how two tricks that they use in filming the show work: "blue-box" as he called it, which is green-screening, and the teleprompter. After this, we went to several other producing rooms, as well as several editing rooms. The DW was a pretty neat place.

From the DW building, we walked to a section of the Wall, where a tower had been built as a memorial. From the tower, we could look out and see East and West Berlin.




We also went to a park, and saw a whole wall covered in graffiti, with people along it continuing to write over each other's graffiti.
From there, we went to a shopping mall for an hour and a half, and then we came back to the hostel.
