The hot streak continued today while I had one of the quietest days yet. It seemed like the entire city was sleeping, especially at the time I was going to school. It was somewhat eerie to have the halls of the school completely empty while we had class, but none-the-less we endured. We got some fans to help air out the room a bit, but even with them, it was pretty hot. AC is not a common thing in Europe, so we had to just deal with an open window.
The most exciting thing that happened today was getting to have a chocolate tasting in class today. On Friday, we heard a presentation about Ritter Sport chocolate...a famous chocolate maker that is based in Berlin. This made us all want chocolate so much I proposed a tasting. I had brought some Boulder Chocolove chocolate as a part of the large assortment of items I could give to my host family, so I figured I could use it instead in class. We had a large tasting with 8 different chocolates, and started ranking them according to our favorites.

The boulder Raspberry-dark chocolate won, but it was closely followed by the Orange and the Iced Coffee flavors.

After this contest we were very full and contented while we watched the news and a part of a 24-hour documentary on Berlin. We also watched Rhabarberbarbara (A video over how insane the German language can get by combining words...the title means "Rhubarb Barbara")
