And just like that, it is all over. It seemed like every week I was saying to myself “we only have X more days left here in Berlin” or “we have been here in Berlin for X days” until it was actually time to leave. I have been back for about a week and am…

This was my last full week in Berlin so I did my best to make the most of it. On Monday after work, I went over to Warschauer Straße where the fan shop for the Eisbären Berlin is. They are the major hockey team here in Berlin. This past Saturday, they released their new jersey…

This week at work, I got to help with and sit in on a few meetings that were held with future partners about one of the products my host company has. It was interesting to see how the meetings are conducted here compared to America. The interesting thing was that these meetings were not a…

We were working quickly as everything needed to be finalized by Wednesday evening. After that was…

The first week of this program has officially come to an end. Even though I am still fighting through some of the jet lag, it has been very memorable and fun. During orientation, I got to learn about Berlin’s history through tours and planned events, see and speak with different organizations and companies, and visit…
