Der Berliner, der Berliner... das is gut, ja

I applied for recieved a study grant from my college for about $500 (I have a check for 260 pounds to be precise) to fly to Germany for a study conference on the "Gospel and Culture". Paid for includes travel, room and board, conference fees, and bus/train fares (to airport etc.) It's pretty cool, the conference is 5 days, and... well... it means I get to go to Germany with someone else's money. Sounds good.
Now the German skillz can be put to good use. Or not, its a bilingual conference (everything is translated into German and English).
