The dome


[Berliner Dom at Lust Garten]. The Dom is the largest protestant church in Berlin. Originally it was built to accommodate the spiritual needs of the German Royalty. The Dom is also open to tourist. You can walk all the way to the top of the dome and see the whole city: a breathtaking view.

The lion's den


East Berlin Zoo. This zoo is located in what it was then East Berlin. Is it more modern however in terms of animal safe keeping. Most of the animals roam around in free spaces rather than cages, as opposed as in the [West] Berlin Zoo. This location is the entrance into the big cats exhibit.

Fountain of Fairy Tales


[Märchen Brunnen at the Friedrichain Vollspark]. The Fountain of Fairy Tales is a monument to the most popular tales recited to German children. Some children play in the fountain, but it is filled with algae sometimes: fun idea, but probably not a good one.

Lego giraffe


[Outside Lego land at Sony Center]. Although Lego land is kind of a small store, this giraffe makes quite a statement on their behalf.

Grooving at GMF


So, I decided to post my favorite pics form my recent trip to Berlin. I'm currently listening to Club Kerry's podcast (Summer Grove 4) and is taking me back to the club nights of Berlin. They (the Berliners) really appreciate techno, house, electronic music. It is the most popular type of music played. Everyone dances. Anyways, this is a picture from the rooftop at GMF, one of the most popular clubs in the city. It only opens on Sundays, but the experience is great. Not only will you mingle with the natives, but also with tourists. All while drinking a beer and admiring the view. Just imagine partying on top of the Rockefeller observatory (NY ref). If you are ever in Berlin, it is a must-visit place, just like visiting the Brandenburg Tor (more of it later). Enjoy the music and the guys ;-)
