Welcome to #checkin for Saturday, October 19, 2024!

Good evening/afternoon/morning everyone and welcome to today's #checkin! Yesterday, US President did a quick visit to Berlin to discuss some world politics stuff, and he received the Grand Cross of the Order of Merit, Germany's highest honor reserved for heads of state which to be honest didn't even know existed! From what I saw on Twitter, he even took the time to do some selfies and talks with Embassy folks on the ground.

So have you ever met your country's leader or another high-ranking celebrity? How was it? Or who would you like to talk to? Or do you go by "Never meet your heroes?" Or mabye meeting a Doppelganger?

I never really met any famous people, I think, mostly just some musicians after the show for some chatting while buying some merch and getting my CDs signed. Except for maybe John Howen, the guy who did a lot of illustrations for the LOTR movies.
