So one of our business associates in Berlin was gracious enough to take myself and one of my co-workers on a great tour of Berlin this morning by car. He used to live in former east Berlin and talked a lot about what it was like to live there. The picture you see is of Kaiser-Wilhelm Gedachtniskirche (and no, i don't know how to pronounce that) which is a church that was bombed in WWII by the US. Rather than restoring or tearing it down, they decided to leave it as a memorial.
We also visited other famous sites such as what is left standing of the Berlin Wall, the Brandenburg Gate, and the Berlin dome which is pretty cool. Berlin definitely has its own unique feeling- it's sort of 'funky' i would say- you see teenagers and 20-somethings with mohawks and pink hair, and funky shops everywhere.
Now if only i could remember everything that i heard today :)
Sunday is my last day in Berlin and then i fly out first thing Monday morning. It's been a great trip, but i'm ready to be home and see everyone.
