Ich bin ein Berliner

"Two thousand years ago the proudest boast was civis Romanus sum [I am a Roman citizen]. Today, in the world of freedom, the proudest boast is 'Ich bin ein Berliner'… All free men, wherever they may live, are citizens of Berlin, and, therefore, as a free man, I take pride in the words 'Ich bin ein Berliner!'"

J. F. Kennedy said, Speaking from the balcony of Rathaus Schoneberg in 1963

I am saying this same thing today, from the window of my room in Heinrich Heine Strasse, where I am going to be ein Berliner for the next 6 months (more or less).

Without any knowledge of German, I promise not to end up like Liz Lemon (watch the video) but keeping you updated for everything cool that I am going to experience in these months.

Auf Wiedersehen!
