Wörtherstraße, Berlin :: Saint George's English Bookstore

I went to find this English bookstore today and found these gems.. Not only that I found a German tutorial book but also a double feature of Fred Astair's double feature VHS for 50 cents! Hoorah, oh happy day-
I have to say "Gay Divorcee" is riding up on my top 10 flicks. Mucho sassy.

Stormstraße, Berlin :: Pre wall knock-down

Boys and girls decided to paint the shit out of this wall before it gets knocked down.


Tacheles, Berlin :: New paint, Georg

There are these usual suspects of dealers, and the painting below is the exact spot they stay on everyday. I thought it's pretty hilarious that Georg did a painting of dealers in their spot. Shady.
Oh, yeah, plus a cat in a microwave, as per usual.

Reichstag Dom, Berlin :: Sightseeing III

More of the Dom. Just amazing. It's architecture students' dream come true...

Reichstag Building, Berlin :: Sightseeing II

We couldn't resist such lovely&sunny weather, that has been rather sparse these days... so we continued on Lindenstraße, heading toward to Tiergarten, where Obama made his Berlin speech. On the way, Reichstag caught our attention, so we headed in.

Eastablished in 1884, the building served itself as a nest to Reichstag, the first parliament of Germany. In 1933, the building was set on fire by a Dutch communist, Marinus Van der Lubbe, who later on beheaded for the crime. (funfact: it's known that Hitler ordered the fire, which was to be a signal of beginning of the Nazi regime to the senior and other members)
In 1999, Reichstag Dom, designed by Architect Norman Foster, opened its door to public, offering 360 degree view of Berlin.

The queue was really long (35-40min), the security is really tight (airport security system), they treat you like a herd of cows(manually operated glass doors), and got my butt pinched/massaged by a security personnel for absolutely no reason, BUT the place is so amazing, I foggot all about it by the time I was in the Dom.

Unter den Lindenstraße, Berlin :: Sightseeing I

Robbie and I decided to have a sightseeing sesh, and I have to say, it was fun! We walked all the way to the west side of Berlin on Unter den Lindenstraße, and it's THE walk to do. We got to see History Museum of Berlin, Opera house, which includes a huuuuge square which holds occasional public concerts, Humboltd University, Staatsbin Library, where you can still see bullet holes on bricks and facades and much more.



Unter der Lindenstraße, heading west

Kollowitz Museum ( if I remember correctly..hah)

Renovation process going on EVERYWHERE!

Humboltd University, Einstein studiede here. Prestigeous school, indeed.

Staatsbin Library with history on its face with bullet marks

Wedding, Berlin :: Et fini!

Was gunna go out tonight but decided against it. Instead made a pan full of curry w/ loads of veggies and CHICKEN! I can't remember the last time I had real meat. It was quite a treat + three guests. So thanks to the chicken bit power, I miraculously finished a piece that I started today on a whim.

Oranienburgerstrasse, Berlin :: Park visit

After visiting a friend at Tachless, Chay and I decided to go have a park day. Right down the street from Oranienburgerstraße, a small square occupies a corner. It was around 5 in the afternoon, and since the weather was so nice, we just sat and had some beer...

Yeah, I drink at 5pm, wot.

Mauer Park, Berlin :: Flee market

Holyshitballz. I went on to the Sunday flee market today, just to wander around.. and my heart raced its way over to the finishing line when my eyes scored a vendor with funkaay yarn/elastic band by meters.. AND the best part was that they had the exact same material I used to crochet in Brooklyn.

Lookeeee, Moniac! (p.s.: I was wearing that grey dress for the first time today since I left!)
