I am a person. My name is Anna. I am living in Germany in nine months as part of a social experiment, er, cultural exchange. I speak German but want to learn it better. I will be helping in a German high school as an English teaching assistant. These are photos I have decided to post of my journey. You are probably reading this to see the photos and if you're just here for the photos you shouldn't be reading this.
The saga begins in a peaceful little town in Germany. Let’s call it Berlin. The locals are milling about peacefully in front of a local monument. Despite random pine trees, the scene is normal and quiet.
Our plucky heroes arrive as the sun is setting, managing to find a better angle from which to document the quaint local monument. An angle without cheeky pines.
But, much to the shock and horror of passersby, my doppelganger appeared, and accosted me.
With no time to think quickly or heed the words of Master Yoda (“stay away from the darker side, and if you ever run astray let the Force be your guide”), I engaged in an EPIC battle with myself, struggling against the evil within me that had become corporal.
With the last of my strength, I slayed my opponent with a final, mortal blow.
It was AWESOME in way whose Awesomeness cannot be beaten. And the people of the small town of Berlin rejoiced in the best way they knew how - by waving maps in the faces of real Berliners and asking for directions. Peace and freedom once again prevail throughout the galaxy.
