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.

View from our hostel window. The big square thing is an olympic swimming pool, next to it as a velodrome. I read somewhere that this area used to be taken up by a huge Stasi building.
