Berlin : Day 4

Britzer Garten was so serene and so h-u-g-e, but we only managed to cover less then 1% of it. We "went off the beaten track", got silly on wine and ended up rolling around on grass instead.






Currywurst with a twist at Hotel Adlon - they used ostrich meat instead. So delicious!


Berlin's nightlife scene is inimitable. The panaromic views from Week End Bar and Watergate and her no-camera policy. You just have to visit them to know it.


Ever wondered how the chinese takeaway you see in movies taste like? We saw chinese takeaway everywhere, so I got my share (fried noodles) at China Box. A waste of €3 - it was so bad!






The extremely expensive Holocaust Memorial was constructed for €25 million, not before much controversies and delay. It was designed to evoke an uncomfortable experience and "aims to represent a supposedly ordered system that has lost touch with human reason". Walking through the concrete slabs was creepy - but was ridiculed by tourists (yes, not just one!) playing hide-and-seek.




Berlin has been a real eye-opener. The diverse cultural extravaganza, the edgy concrete, and the nature that is never too far away.

I already miss this place. We leave for Barcelona tomorrow, I guess that's no reason to be feeling down. Danke Schön , Berlin and I will be back for you, Michelberger Hotel!
