During my summer vacation in 2019, I had a wonderful eight-day trip to Berlin with my classmates. During the stay, I learned a lot about German.

A few days later, we got familiar with each other. On the weekend, we walked a long way to Siegessaule, also known as Berlin Victory Column. Maurice’s father shared many stories of the Wars of German Unification, which gave me a new understanding about Germany.
