I spent the morning packing my stuff; leaving just enough
clothes in the cupboard to last me for the next two days. Then I weighed my bag
and the scale read: 12+kg. Not bad I should say! This means I can pack another 8 kg worth of stuff! Lol!
Then Claudia called me at around 10ish and asked if I wanted
to go see a lake and go for a walk through a forest. I agreed since it’ll give
me an opportunity to walk in the snow (again).
So I met her at 2 pm at one of the Metro stations and from
there we headed to the west. Although it was snowing and super super COLD, the
walk through Krumme Lanke forest and around the lake(s) was worth it. I even
ate fresh fallen snow and it tasted like…basically shaved ice! Haha!
By the time we headed back to the Metro station it was 4 pm
We had walked for over an hour and it really didn't feel like it. There were
quite a number of people around the lake and in the forest, considering that
the temperature was in the minus region. Nevertheless, I understand why people
would want to be outdoors, especially in that area as the air is fresh, the
area is so quiet and peaceful, and there’s just an air of tranquility that
makes you appreciate all around you. Apparently, this place is beautiful in the
summer and people will spend their weekends there, swimming in the lake,
jogging or just enjoying the atmosphere.
It’s my last day at the office tomorrow. I have one last
meeting with Claudia and then there’s like a farewell lunch for me. After that,
depending on Yvonne, a few of us might follow her back to her area Prenzlauer
Berg; it’s a really nice area it seems.
I’ll also have to go get my shoes if I don’t want to leave Berlin wearing winter
boots. I want to go back to the store where I got my boots as there’s a wide
selection; otherwise I’ll get the pair of sneakers I saw in Karstadt, which is
closer. I really do hope I get to go buy the shoes, as I’ll have no time on
Tuesday.
