Berlin

Beautiful Berlin. Berlin is definitely different than any other city I've been to here in Europe. It has such an interesting and controversial history. The city has only been unified for 20 years and many of the developed parts of city are really new due to the only recent reconstruction after the world war. The East side has a different look to it and can easily be placed under the broad architectural category as communist. The communist street light has a little man with a hat called the Ampelmann, and I thought it was hilarious that he has been turned into a capitalist icon. I took a city tour and we visited Brandenburg Gate, Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe, Hitler's final bunker (which has no sort of marking at all, its just a dirt car park where people walk their dogs to poop on), the Reichstag, the Nazi Book Burning Memorial, Checkpoint Charlie, SS Headquarters, the remains of the Berlin Wall, Luftwaffe HQ, and many more places. Very Cool. Today I met with Rudolph for Coffee and he told me of his Pharmaceutical company. Ill write more in a little bit.
