Berlin: An Introduction
18 May 2007
I arrived in Berlin two days ago. Yesterday, I took an 8 hour walking tour of Berlin. It was informative, insightful, and incredibly exhausting. I haven’t much to say about it. Berlin is a nice city, very modern. It certainly is low on my list of awesome cities as it has almost no skyline and not really any old, old buildings. But I suppose after over half a decade of totalitarianism they deserve a break. Here are some of my views of the city.
Berlin Dom

Memorial to Dietrich Bonhoeffer
War Memorial
Site where Nazi bookburnings took place
Monument to the murdered Jews of Europe
A shaft leading into what once was Hitler's bunker
Checkpoint Charlie
Remnants of the Berlin Wall
Pergamon Museum
Ishtar Gate of Babylon
