Berlin is a must-visit in Germany (if you didn't already feel that way). You can feel just how recent ago the city was divided. Remnants of a deep history linger everywhere alongside evidence of progression. From the major cities we have seen thusfar, Berlin is a city where I feel I have not seen enough.
During the days we spent our time roaming the streets, seeing museums, monuments, parks and eating the street food. By night we spent time with young Berliners, cruising the bars and the internationally renowned nightclubs. And we ate currywurst, a Berlin tradition and it was simple and phenomenal.
The music for this video is by a band named Scratched Surface and is a band from which we befriended the lead guitarist in the hostel we stayed at in Strasbourg, France. His name is Jens. He is cool. What's up man?

This one is awesome. Berlin looks great, plus your camera work adds interest. Enjoyed it a lot.
ReplyDeleteHey Eli - my parents met in Berlin during the Berlin Airlift - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin_Blockade
ReplyDeleteApparently it was very romantic. The Russians controlled the water and electricity to the American side and would turn it off on a whim, and there was always the threat of a massive Russian invasion. They did make it back as tourists in the 1980's before the fall of the wall. Love the posts - keep them coming.
