El ultimo dia en Berlin
Thereafter, to relax and reflect about the past days (and also because the weather was not very nice), we took the U2 metro tour through Berlin, to see many different parts of the city. With a Club Mate in our hands, we talked about anything and everything and the next steps we want to take in our lives.
We met all together at 1800 in the hostel, in order to get our bags to take the train to paris. This was also the point where we had to say goodbye to a person which was the organisator of almost all activities in Berlin, a complaisant friendly host, a never-sleeping working man and last but not least a person who became a good friend during the time in Berlin: Tobias.
Thank you very much Tobias!
At the train station we realised that because of the strikes in France our train just will get to Hannover, where we must take the bus to Paris Disney Land, from where the metro was our means of transportation to the centre of Paris... But these are no reasons to worry!
At this point, it is my turn to say goodbye, Elena is going to write at my place...
Gracias Mary Juanita, Juan El Molino Choripan Vargas, Lucas El Despertador Pinto, Alexandre El Camel Johnny Cash, Maru Maria Elena Ostili y Jenni El Pajarito por el tiempo con ustedes! Espero de verles pronto en Argentina, Brasil, México, Suiza o donde sea!

turn your ideas into action!
We all were tired the next morning, but after a little breakfast we all were bright and early in the morning in the impakt office in order to assist to the Ashoka Youth Venture's event 'Leading Changemakers', which brought together a network of young people who share a common vision: building a "everyone a changemaker" society in Germany. This event took almost the whole day and finished with a diner in a near restaurant. I don't think I have to mention which traditional cuisine it was. :)
After diner, Tobias joined us with two friends at the hostel, where we started the last night in Berlin with a little concert of Alexandre with his new guitar. After having a couple of beers, Tobias took us to a party in his friends house.
At this point, i think i have something to share with you.. I know we all have dreams, ideas and convictions, but sometimes we don't feel capable to achieve these goals, problems appear and stones are on the way to our inner happiness..
It is important to believe in ourselves. This is what we did, we all turned our ideas into action. And the result was even better than we thought, we surpassed all our expectations....
We drank 35 different german beer brands!!! :)
