Berlin(Germany)
Here's Berlin! It was a 3 days 2 nights trip there. The train journey was 5 hours and we had to catch it at 6 plus in the morning from the airport. Good thing my aunt stays very near the airport but I'm still very tired as you can see from the very serious eyebags tsk tsk!Spandau station in Berlin..
We trudged on towards our hotel and past by this shop the woman is made of chocolate la but I prefer those chocs on the plate in front of her.
I want all these!
The nearest metro from our hotel. Shopping street just along this stretch.
Boat ride to look at the nice places in Berlin. It was very windy and kinda cold..
Nice hor? It'd been nicer if there were more colours and the sun sunnier. The summer isn't like summer at all.
They call this the Pregnant Oyster.
My skinny new friend who was a liar.
I can't remember what this sculpture stands for..
Bus tour around the city for sightseeing. I think I'm tired and hence the half opened eyes..
Remains of the Berlin Wall. Small sections of the Wall have been retained at only six locations in the city area. This is one of the locations. We past by while on the bus.
Alright so on the third day, me, my aunt and my another aunt's friend went to another location where the Wall still remains. My grandma and my aunt went shopping. This part of the trip is my favourite cuz the Wall is really nice. At Checkpoint Charlie, on the way to find the Wall.
And we finally found the location where the walls are longer and got more historical 'feeling' to it. This part of the Wall was repainted and this explains why it is still so colorful and not 'pecked' by the Wall woodpeckers.
Took many pictures of the paintings on the wall though it's very much scribbled by people who went to see it.
This picture is very 'gan3 chu4 duo1 duan1' hoho my chinese is still good.
I didn't write this okay I'm merely pointing it out haha.
The Berlin Bear which represents the country. There are many different kinds along the streets.

This part of the Wall was left untouched and not repainted but pecked by the wall woodpeckers to sell clumps of it
