Check Point Charlie & Berlin Wall
perladipace 在天空部落發表於20:47:30 | Germany


Checkpoint Charlie was a sort of a "immigration" point on the edge of the Berlin wall which separated Berlin into the Allies' West Germany and the Soviet's East Germany. Many from the Eastern part attemped to escape via various means to get to the other side of the wall and many tragic stories of how many were tortured and killed as a result of attempting to run away from the eastern part. The landmark in the photo is near the Charlie Check Point but I'd say it doesn't have much to do with the tragic stories of the 2 halves of Berlin. But you can see more photos of what remains of the area near Check Point Charlie in the Chinese-word link below.

Lafayette & Porsche Sports Piano
perladipace 在天空部落發表於14:10:34 | Germany

Galeries Lafayette has become like a sort of landmark in Berlin. This place has lots of shops, malls and place to go for food. & a concert hall is nearby too. Berlin is relatively new compare to other European cities. Largely because it was almost totally destroyed during the World War. So they had to pretty much rebuild eveything. So you don't really see a lot of the old things around here (although there are some exceptons which I'll post another time) and the new energy (especially with new design ideas and fashion) makes this place one of the...

Berlin's Dark Underworld (WW II Bunker)
perladipace 在天空部落發表於11:10:50 | Germany



If you have not gone into the underground world when you've visited Berlin, I think you have missed a large portion of what Berlin was about. Unlike the glamourous shopping places built underground in a lot of cities (eg. Montreal, Tokyo, etc.), this is very extensve, dark, gloomy and clausterphobic undergound network of bunkers built to shelter the cilivilians during air raids. We started out with finding the bunker where Hitler committed suicide but then we came across this tour to the underground world of Berlin (you're not allowed to go to the bunkers on your own). It's one of the few bunkers that were not destroyed during the de-militarizing activity after WW II largely due to the fact that...

Berlin's Magnificent Bundestag
perladipace 在天空部落發表於10:28:50 | Germany

If you were to name one of the coolest modrn builings in Europe, I think Berlin's Bundestag would have been one of them. The Bundestag is heavily guarded by security and they control how many people they allow to the roof terrace and teh cupola at one time. It's a bit of an hassel when you have to wait outside in the rain for a long time. But the good thing was entrance to such great attraction is FREE! In a place where using washroom in a fast-food restaurant might require some "tipping", this is quite a treat! Once you get into the cupola, you can alk around the edge of the dome all the way to the top of the glass column. When you do so, you'll see a...
