The famous chocolate store with chocolate buildings in the windows, the white trash resturant and it was the guys who had to cover their heads to enter the Jewish cemetary.
These are the cute people who populate Berlin!
That store was huge and had so much stuff, I was in hunger heaven, the Vietnamese food was so good, and the farewell party.
I couldn't read it but I liked it, waiting for the 3rd train because the first 2 were running late, and me and one of many famous bears hanging around Berlin.
Standing in both East and West Germany, standing in front of Brandenberg gate and in front of one of the twin cathedrals.
Some of the amazing buildings in Berlin. The architecture there was so diverse and amazing.
Berlin has a very tragic past, and there are a lot of memorials. In the first picture is what remains of the wall. This year marked 20 years since it fell. The second is from the Jewish museum, which was a hard place to visit, I was actually ill just from what I saw. It wasn't just the jews who suffered but the mental ill, and those with diseases. There was a picture of one of the first victums of the killings, a little boy about 2 years old. The 3rd is of the holocuast memorial a very interesting momument with no exact meaning or explanation. 4th is a empty libary underground with no door, only a glass top, in remembrance of all the books the nazis burned in the same location. The last is a statue of a lady holding her dead son. We stayed and spent most of our time in East Berlin. Even 20 years later the difference of wealth is still evident but not as much as before. There are also buildings with signs of the war still. I am so glad I had the opportunity to go. Actually I am glad I have been able to do all this traveling, I have learned so much both the good and the bad. It is an experience I will never forget...
