為什麼來柏林？
Why Is Berlin?
在中國念了工業設計，畢業以後想要繼續念這個，所以就決定來德國了，也沒有考慮其他城市，就來到這裡了，雖然後來並沒有繼續念工業設計，反而轉換跑道來念藝術史，但是還滿喜歡的。
I have studied industrial design in China, after graduating, I would like to study further in this area, so I decided to go to German, and I didn't consider any other city, so here I am. Though I didn't study industrial design now, but I like what I am learning now, the Art History.
你對柏林的第一印象是什麼樣子？
What Is Your First Impression Of Berlin?
剛到柏林的時候，想像跟現實的落差還滿大的。想像中/從書報網路所認識的柏林感覺應是一個很國際化的，例如各式各樣的高樓大廈以及所謂大都市的氣氛，但是柏林卻完全沒有。沒有首都的繁華，建築物都很平凡，而且高度都很低，從機場到我當時住的學生宿舍，路上完全沒有一棟所謂的高樓，都是四或五樓高的房屋而已，我那時候想著，這是什麼樣的首都阿。
The difference between imagination and reality is huge. The Berlin that I have in my imagination should have countless Skyscrapers and so-called international atmosphere, but it is not. There are only few tall buildings, 4 or 5 story building is quite normal here, I thought, what a capital it is!
後來住了一陣以後才感受到，這裡的包容性跟我自己想像的包容是不同的，在柏林，到處都可以看到土耳其人，特別是像我住的wedding區，土耳其超市和kebab，舉目皆是，他們用自己的方式在這裡生活。（關於這點讓我想到之前也有一個土耳其朋友，當我們一起在Kreuzberg遊蕩的時候，完全不需要德文，他可以很自在的用他自己的語言和其他人溝通。）
After I live here for a while, I found out that the tolerance for foreigners is not like what I thought. In Berlin, you can meet Turkish people and find kabap in almost everywhere, especially where I live, Wedding. They live here in there own way. ( I can still remember that once I was with a friend, who comes from Turkey, walking on the street in Kreuzberg, he did not need to speak any german, he just talked with others in his language.)
喜歡柏林嗎？
Do You Like Berlin?
基本上德國的文化和政治氛圍還滿讓我喜歡的，多元，大家可以自由的發出不同聲音，還有就是對勞動者的保障。如果只針對柏林的話，我不是很喜歡路上很多醉酒的人（在柏林的路上還滿容易七早八早就看到很多人手上拿著酒瓶）。
Basically, I would say I like Germany, the atmosphere of culture and politic is good, it's really diverse, everyone can speak out for themselves, and the law for workers is good. But if you mean Berlin, I really don't like that there are lots of people who got drunk and still fool around on the streets (it's quite normal to see people drink on the street here).

喜歡去的地方？
Is There Any Place That You Like To Visit?
1.國會，每個人都可以去參觀，覺得這是政府很有自信的地方，開放讓人民可以自由地去參觀。Bundestag, everyone can visit here if they want. I found it shows the confident of the government, they open the door so that everyone can participate.
2.Gemäldegalerie，這裡展出13-18世紀的畫作。Gemäldegalerie, here you can enjoy the paintings from 13-18 century.
3.East Side Gallery。有大量彩繪的部分柏林圍牆。This is where you can see many colorful and vivid drawing on the Berlin Wall.
平日的思遙大概就是上面這個帶著大笑的模樣，但是對於政治歷史和文化很有興趣的他，一聊起這些事情就可以跟你談論上好幾個小時，我常常被他驚人的知識範圍給嚇到!
The photo above is the he who I know when we don't mention the topic about politic, history and culture. I'm pretty sure that you can feel his passion and be impressed with his wide knowledge through discussing those topics for hours and hours !!!
Thanks!!!
