Germany


Berlin

March 10, 2008

Berlin, the capital of Germany is an inspiring city. There’s no doubt that recent history has given the city a unique identity, one that is only just recovering from division and is re-inventing itself in creative and innovative ways.

Berlin is known as the unofficial European capital of Techno, a music genre which flourished when illegal raves came about after the fall of the Berlin Wall. It’s been said that techno music had an influential hand in re-unifying the people of east and west Berlin.

This courtyard is just off a busy shopping street in Mitte, the robot thing bursts into life and does a robot dance routine every time you put in a euro. Not quite Peter Crouch but getting there.

We found a heavily decorated stairwell which led up to a couple of alternative shops.

Signage

It’s so true.

I liked this poster.

A section of the Wall.

At a bar we went to, this is what greeted us.

Light bulb.
