I've been at Berlin 10 years ago (in 1998) and before coming back i immagined to find a re-born city but not in way i've found it.. it's a full of live capital where another generation took place to the old one but nobody has forgotten the past..

This was our last morning in Berlin. Rob had meetings until mid-day and then we drove to Heidelberg. So, I had the morning to enjoy.   I decided to see a totally different side of Berlin and Germany. I went to the Prussian Palace of Charlottenburg, the largest former residence of the Hohenz…

I’m a smoker, I’m a talker, I’m a Berlin walker, Wanna wander, wanna plunder, just don’t let me slumber   In Berlin you can be just anybody. A rocker, a film star, an intellectual, a punk or just nobody. Who cares. :)  Berliners learnt to tolerate almost anything. After all,…

Today, Erik & Kristin left early for the airport - long before I was awake.  Thankfully the apartment we had rented did not need us to check out until late afternoon, so I slept in for the first time since traveling with Erik & Kristin. :D  I got in contact with Silke (silkimjuk…

This was the most exhausting day of the week. A walk through Berlin...In the morning we went to the Jewish Museum in Berlin. It's a huge museum and you can learn everything about Jewishness there. With my class we just went to see the Holocause and Nazi-Germany part of the museum.Furthermore we saw…

I checked into a hostel for my last night in Berlin. I did this to be closer to the train station and, let's face it, give Márton some space that he had to be craving. I dropped my stuff off at the Heart of Gold Hostel, and what do you know...I made a new friend. Rob from Canada was also staying i…

The next day in Frankfurt i had breakfast with Rafel at the hostel, then he catch a train heading to Numberg to meet his friends. In fact he was late for a day that's why he bought a small gift to his friend, he hope that girl wouldn't mad at him;p Good luck. He's leaving, then i'm all alone wander…

I arrived in Berlin around Noon at Flugrafen Shønefeld and took the S-bahn into Town. Im used to paying 20euro for getting into town from Oslo Airport and 12euro from Bergen Airport so this gave me a taste of how much i had to spend. This was my first time couchsurfing and i met this amazing host …

I know I complain about being in I.T. all the time (instead of being a marine biologist swimming with whales or a pyrotechnician working on movies or an opera singer) but when I saw this guy at the Alexanderplatz in Berlin, I had to reconsider. It's not the best view, I just didn't have the guts t…

Our last day in Berlin...  Our friend Jürgen took us on a grand tour through Berlin in his car.  Seeing Berlin with a Berliner was a fantastic experience. We started at Lichtenrade and continued down Mariendorferdamm - driving down this street I was surprised to see a lot of Halloween d…

If you're an early riser you'll often be lucky enough to capture some endearing and worthwhile impressions of the day that had gone for good without paying any great attention if you wouldn't have been up that early (even though it's supposed to be a relaxing Saturday).   Whe…

It was our last day in Berlin and we relaxed and woke up leisurely. We headed out nd grabbed breakfast from a Christmas Market. First off it was fries. The lady hands su her fries with a dallop of ketchup on top and the first thing she does is to drop half her fries on the floor. Su makes a scene b…

I came to Berlin for 3 months. I wanted to start a new life, make new friends and find a job. But instead of 3 months I am here right now for 5 months already and I think I will stay for a long, long time. What to say about Berlin,I love this city so much! I'm having the time of my life right now!
