BERLIN

   Gone are the days when the most remarkable city in Central Europe was splitted into the East side and the West side. Come out with me and let's have a walk around Berlin, the most convulsed city for the second half part of 20th century.

   Berlin has too much to offer for everyone: that one who is interested in Art and those who loves the nightlife, the lover of History and someone who is keen on sports, people who like living in a city and others who prefer to enjoy the countryside.




   It appear that its own desintegration was a reflection from the Cold War which divided the world in two parts. The last 9th November, the city celebrated the 20th anniversary since the fall of "The Wall". It leaved a footprint which is visible not only on the pavement, even between Berliners.




   City of contrasts, place where nobody is amazed of what surrounds him, where all tendencies and ways of thinking are present. Proof of that is Prenzlauer Berg, one of the fashion districts thanks to crowd of young people who live there. Youthful atmofphere which is reflected in the great amount of bars and cafés located into that area. The same for Friedrichschain district, another one of the most visited by young Berliners at weekend nights.





   Postdamer Platz is becoming an urban area of skyscrapers. From balcony of last floor inside Kollhoff skyscraper you can enjoy an spectacular view of Daimler-Chrysler enclosure and Sony Center with its singular ceilling.



 
   A compulsory visit you should do is at Pergam Museum, located at Museuminsel (Museum Island) in order to see the most beautiful girl in Berlin, as many people say, Nefertiti.




   One of the most visited amusements is "The Reichstag" with its air opened dome. That dome is not only the symbol of the city, but its transparency shows the Berliner Republic.

  1. Good job but...who are you mistery writer? I like the Fronting (unit 2) in "Gone are the days..." and the Hedging (unit 3)"It appears that...". Please notice that you wrote "It appear that...".Be careful of silly mistakes like this. All in all, thanks 4 posting.
