"Ja" means yes in Deutsch in case you, like I, didn't know. It is also a highly popular generic brand name for groceries here in Deutschland. So, many of my groceries say "Ja" on them (pronounced "yah" to help those of you, like me, that have a limited German vocabulary). I just think that it is one of the greatest brand names ever. I also think that it is pretty cool that you can get an okay beer here for .29 euros and a good beer for .55 E at that same grocery store. And, that an excellent bottle of wine there is only 4E! No wonder it is the drink of choice here. I made Tyler take the above picture after my first grocery store trip, with Stephanie, the first night of our arrival. I purchased a few other items, but these were some of my fun "I can't believe we're in Germany" buys. The wunderbar made me think of you Mom, and I couldn't resist it at the check out line (and yes it was).
The TV Tower at Alexander Platz is within walking distance from us, well it's a short jog, Tyler jogged there the second day we were here. I still stick to the park because I'm afraid if I get lost I'll never find my way back through the many streets... with hard to pronounce names. Maybe I'll be braver in a few weeks, we shall see.
and the Berliner Dom (Berlin Cathedral) too Ja!

ah! aaron buys that beer everytime he's in Germany (which is all the time...sadly not Berlin, otherwise I'd tell him to swing by- he's usually in Frankfurt). :)
