In these two days in Berlin i couldn't stop to think of my stayig in Aarhus.Still,it is a bit difficult to think i'm not there anymore,and signs of Denmark continue to show up around the city.
Once Nina told me that danish and german are quite similar as languages,so sometimes i still feel in Aarhus cause i read sign and they seems danish.Having studied danish for a while is helping me understanding something here in Berlin.

For example:

Danish: Is Rejse
German: Eis reise
English: ice cream travel/trip

and so on..

Also,yesterday i was in a museum/exhibition and there was a small part "dedicated" to Denmark.It was an exhibition of photos from the Nazist period,called "Topography of terror". One of the area of the small museum was explaining how Nazi forces were doing in all European countries.For me was actually something already known cause i took classes last year,in Italy about history of international relations.While i was moving from a banner to another,i almost already know what i was going to read.I was pretty amazed about the fact that after a year, still i was remembering everything from my previous class.Also cause my teacher was really really involving and keeped us in touch with the subject.In some way,yesterday i felt like i wanted to follow again courses at University, to learn more. I have some history classes,and when you study it,you always are going to know about painfull facts and bed situations.I was a bit sad at the exhibition,almost goint to cry.But we have to study the past to be able to continue our future in the best possible way.
I was walking around yestarday, and looking to old buildings,that were going to crumble and that shows the signs of time,still i could see the pain and the sufference of the past decades.
