Berlin foto's...

Here are some quick pics I took with my phone... They're not bad quality either. I'm surprised.

Checkpoint Charlie (taken from the touring bus)

Disco ball??? I should have listened to the guide more closely. I have no idea what this is, but I like it. It's flashy. :)

A memorial for victims of the war.

This was taken at Sanssouci Palace in Potsdam. I like this statue of Jesus, because it's the first time I've seen an image of Christ looking as strong in body as in spirit. Mostly you see only compassion or suffering. This Jesus looks physically strong as well as compassionate. This Jesus looks like he could actually save!

More to come when the BF uploads his 300 plus photo's...

Back from Berlin...

I'm back from Berlin... We had a good time, it wasn't spectacular or anything, just nice. I get the feeling that you'd either have to visit Berlin a few times or get someone who lives there to show you around before you get a feel for the city. Suffice to say, I didn't fall in love with the city.

We stayed in quite a nice apartment, compliments of Ikea. No, just joking, but the entire apartment, from the furniture to the kitchen utensils, was decorated with Ikea stuff. Cute though...

If you're interested, here's a link for more information.

One thing about Berlin though, there are lots of vietnamese and indian restaurants. I love vietnamese food and indian cuisuine is known to have a wide variety of vegetarian dishes. So when it came to food I was very happy, even though I was the only vegetarian in the group.

Pics coming soon...

Berlin...

I'm going to Berlin for a couple of days next week. I have no idea what to expect. I don't know any thing about Berlin besides its, though significant, very depressing and very scary history.

I'm going with the BF and his folks, so I guess clubbing is out of the question. ;) What does one do in Berlin besides sightseeing? Where do you go, what do you eat? How's the shopping?

I've got lot's of home work to do...
