Guten morgen from Germany! This update is a little late, but I've barely had eine minuten to spare since we arrived here on Monday. As such, I think that I am going to opt for a summary of the pictoplasma conference once I return to Canada instead of constant updates, seeing as they likely won't be happening.
However, I will say that it's been an amazing trip so far, and Berlin is a fantastic city. We're staying in Mitte (middle), an area which was formerly part of East Berlin. Despite being slightly shabby and rough around the edges, this is apparently the hip part of town, evidenced by the fact that it's full of artists, not to mention amazing shops and bars. We've done some sight-seeing, a fair amount of drinking (beer here is very good and very cheap) and, amazingly, even spent some time at the pictoplasma conference listening to speakers and visiting gallery shows. We leave on Sunday for Zagreb, Croatia, which will likely be a very different experience. More to come, if I can find the zeit!
