Like I said before, I am in Belin to see a friend. Germany, to be honest is not really a place, I have every desired to go - thus I knew and still know very little about the culture or much of its history (past what we learned about WWII).
George was kind enough to let me sleep on his couch and show me a bit of the city. We hit a museum, the protostant Cathedral, some historical sites and even saw a movie. I thanks him for taking the time out to show me around, it was nice to catch up.
I am at the airport so I don't have too much time to talk about every place but here are some pics.
1st German meal - Ribs, a potato and cole slaw! It was the best ribs I have had since moving to the UK.
George at the Restaurant the 1st night.
We found a Art Fair! It was lovely.
The National Gallery
The inside of the Berliner Dome
A miniature of the Berliner Dome
One of the last standing palaces from Prussia
At the Berlin Wall - surprisingly smaller than I thought.
One thing that I saw that I though was....intersting was this:
I laughed at first and then thought, 'how intersting that they choose to put 'Black Music' rather than just leaving it as 'Hip-Hop/R&B'. I personally find race in Europe is very intersting, like super intersting. I am going to do a post about it for sure but it is interesting how white Europeans talk about race compared to Europeans of color - two completely different stories. But isn't that the same in the US.... *yup I said it!*
Over all, I am sure Berlin is a nice place, but I can't say that for sure because I don't think I know too much about it or the culture there. Would I go back? hmmm right now, definitely not for leisure.
