(Tungjatjeta--
“Hello” in Albanian, pronounced toon-jah-TYEH-tah. I’ve decided a simple
“Hello” is becoming quite boring so I’d like to start each post with Hello in a
different language. This one was for you Ilva J)
Things
have been getting really busy around here and it’s been quite a while since I last
wrote about my recent travel adventures. In the mean time I’ve had the
opportunity to travel to Berlin, Germany, Strasbourg, France, Copenhagen,
Denmark and Malmö, Sweden. However this post shall be dedicated to Berlin!
Hmm
Berlin Berlin Berlin, where can I begin? (Hey that kind of rhymes!) One might
call me crazy but my heart actually beats a little faster when I think about
Berlin.
Berlin is a city owned by its people—from street art, murals, graffiti, music, and sculptures there is creativity brewing on each corner. Creativity and art created by and endorsed by its people. There is a particular vibe in the city—a positive one. It is as though everyone is somehow tied up in their own world, walking to the beat of their own drum but somehow everyone’s drums seem to fit together to a larger more magnificent song.
If
one is looking for a typical German experience Berlin is not the city to visit.
It is so different than any other city in Germany I have visited; I had to
continually remind myself I was in Germany. I found Berlin to be much more breezy,
spontaneous and multicultural.
Berlin’s
has a story to tell—its past and all that the city has been and what the city is today. Berlin’s history is compelling and reminders of its stories are littered
throughout the streets.
Below are a few pictures from my days in Berlin, enjoy!
Checkpoint Charlie
Holocaust Memorial
Brandenburg Gate

Tempelhof Park-- An Airport no longer in use in Berlin, now it's a huge park with grill areas, gardens and plenty of room to hang out.
Berlin Cathedral
Club-Mate (one of my favourites)-- A caffeinated carbonated mate-extract drink.
