The primary language spoken in Berlin is German, but most people also speak English.
Germany uses the euro, which is the currency of many countries in Europe.
A small bottle of water costs about 2 euros.
Lately I have been missing Asian cuisine, so I was happily surprised when I noticed that there are lots of Vietnamese restaurants in Berlin. Even though I was excited to try German food, I wanted to take advantage of the opportunity to have Asian cuisine since it is typically hard to find in Romania. The best meal I had this week was a banh mi, or Vietnamese sandwich. It is served on a baguette roll and is stuffed with pork, cilantro, pickled carrots and cucumber.
I walked past lots of street musicians while I was in Berlin. While I was strolling through the Bradenburg Gate, one of Berlin's iconic monuments, I stopped to listen to a small brass orchestra give a performance outside the gate. I also remember passing by a band at a metro station.that consisted of a guitarist and a flute player performing "Despacito."
