Bu- bu- bu - bu bu bu bu bu Burlin.

Just yesterday I went around Berlin to see some sights. This place is really BEAUTIFUL. I learnt quite a bit of History between East and West Germany. (I did not take History in Sec school so I didn't know) I saw pieces of the Berlin Wall, the American and France Guards, the tombs of people whom Hilter killed... Not literally killed but made them suffer by doing laborious work that killed them after a few years. I saw the Parliament House where a famous artist won the bid to rebuilt the burnt down one......

Let the pictures speak for themselves.

Me at the Parliament House!

Some random car that I was able to lift ;)





A part of the Berliner Dom

The Berliner Dom



MRT service

A part of the Berlin Wall. One of the Best pieces picked.



The side of the West Germany. Where America took over, thus the flags.

The Checkpoint from East to West Germany. Over here people from East Germany tried to go over to West Germany but were killed during the process. Some even went to the extent of hiding under car seats to bypass because of the terrible treatment in East Germany by the Soviets (Russians)

From West to East.

The Guards at the Checkpoint. American and France

The tombs where many people were killed by Hitler.

The German Flag.

A guy who tried to escape from East Germany, but got shot.



This was the Hotel where Michael Jackson held out a baby on the 3rd floor. It is the same Hotel where a room for one night costs $12,000 Euros! = $24,000 SGD
