Berlin

Germany is a strange place. Berlin is not a very nice city to look at, it actually reminds me on Bangkok.. Very grey and dreary.

I touched the berlin wall!! (Below)

Its funny, you go on a walking tour, and you need to imagine everything because most of it was either bombed, or has been ripped down. So there is actually not that much history to see in Berlin left.

I went to Check point Charlie

The buildings has holes everywhere, this is from the war and they are bullet holes, its quite eery to stand where you know so many people where killed.

Below is the memorial the germans have built to remember the holocost.

They say that as you walk through the maze of concrete slabs many mothers will loose their children in the middle. This was the idea behind this as the artist wanted others to feel what it was like to loose a loved one like the jews did... Very clever

I stood ontop on Hitlers Bunker, aparently its walls are over 3 meters thick, they could not get rid of it so they have just filled it with soil and built a park ontop.

Im not sure how many books on the holocost you guys have read, but do you remeber when the Jews all had to go to the city square and bring their books and paperwork? They were all then burned? This is the square it happened in..

This place was built as a tribute to all the soldiers killed in the wars. The statue in side is of a mother holding her son who is dying. It is so simple, but had great impact.

All in all Germany was a great place to see, it really makes you realise how lucky you are

Oh and check out the funny green pedestrian crossing men, they where hats!
