Colourful bear mascots for the restaurants everywhere.
Nice main hauptbahnhof. Wouldnt say they focus on good service, gave the info tho not in the most pleasant attitude. Walked alot. Honestly nothing special except for the history. The roads were marked of where the wall dividing the east n the west used to stand. Horrible place. Horrible scenes, just 2 decades ago. Brandenburg gate which was on the east side before the wall was torn down. Currywurst and berliner pilsner for lunch.
Den to the Hohenschoenhausen Prison: A Stasi Prison used to detain political prisoners, off the city centre, some 109 cells vs 120 interrogation rooms, copper wire lined along the walls vs having 2 voice recorders to trick prisoners into "off records chitchat" sigh how evil. How scary, that kind of living conditions!
Out of the restricted zone n into the civilised world. Alexanderplatz' biergarten. Very cool to have pure bred berliner sitting with us. V limited english but ya like what they say music and beer, everyone understand. Real uber great band, great music that string all the hearts into one. The pple sing and dance and drink on the count of what seem to be 3 cheers. Heartwarming atmosphere. Bananen weizen n paulaner festbier. Pilsner's nicer. That more or less sums up berlin.
