One of the more famous sights in Berlin is the Kaiser Wilhelm Memorial church. It's an old church built on Kufürstendamm in the 1890s, and then badly damaged during an Allied bombing raid during WWII. While the current church portion was rebuilt, the original spire has been maintained in its damaged condition, and the ground floor is now a memorial hall. This is just one of many WWII or Holocaust-related memorials around Berlin. Right outside the U+S-Bhf Zoologischer Garten.

My arrival in Berlin
My friend (and drawmate) Ricky and I arrived in Berlin early during spring break, because we were going to take a short trip to Prague before the quarter started. That night we enjoyed our first German Hefeweizens at Junction Bar in Kreuzberg, and then got some sleep for the early train the next morning.
After getting back from Prague, all of the spring students met for the first time and did a walking tour around the Reichstag area. The weather wasn't great, but we got a guided tour and got to see some of the sights early on.
