Weekend in Berlin at Christoph's

Last weekend, I visited Christoph Oesterheld in Berlin where he is currently studying. We mainly walked around town so I could feel the atmosphere of this special city. In deed, Berlin was heavily bombed during the second World War and then was "scarred" by the Wall. The thing is that now, they are building new stuff (or old looking new stuff) everywhere and it's really interesting...and a bit surrealistic as well!!

Famous Checkpoint Charlie Christoph walking around the Holocaust monument: a very impressive succession of huge blocks of concrete aligned on a hilly square.

The most impressive thing about Berlin is the diversity of the buildings. You can find a Classical building of the 18th century standing next to a modern skyscraper and facing a "russian-all-in-concrete"type of building!

Thanks Christoph for the excellent weekend, the great parties and the "guided tours", it was great seeing you:)
