On Wednesday 30th September, three days before the acutal event, our delegation had the chance to celebrate the Day of German Unity. We spent the night at Hilton Garden Inn Hotel in Downtown Atlanta, celebrating German Unity much more than we would have in Germany itself. We were delighted by consul Detlev Rünger giving an inspiring speech about German history during the past 25 years. But his speech was not been the only highlight that night. We not only had the chance to meet Mr Rünger once again after our Meet and Greet at the Consulate General in the beginning of our trip, we also got to see some other people again that we had met along our trip through Atlanta and Savannah. Lea and I were pleased to spend some time with wonderful Jairo Garcia who we met at the City of Atlanta earlier that week. Having Pretzels, Weißwurst (typical Bavarian veal sausage) and Sauerkraut, we learned a lot more about the city of Atlanta. In addition, we discussed some cultural aspects of international differences in adopting ecological criteria in one's way of life. We talked about culture, moving and working abroad in general. It’s been a pleasure to us!
The reception of the German Unity is an event that I will keep in my memory for a long time. The hotel, its penthouse and rooftop terrace with the wonderful views it provides, and the great conversations we had, make the night as special as it was, hitting the whole trip’s peak.
