Berlin in May !

In May when it was still wet and grey we decided to visit our capital BERLIN. Berlin is one of those cities you either love or hate. As for me, I don't love it particularly. It's all over the place, messy, dirty and full of contradictions. Throughout its history it has been split up and divided so many times that there is no real centre and bits and pieces are happening in every corner. Berlin was heavily bombed in WWII and many ugly (and few nice) buildings have been built to fill the blanks. What is Berlin's identity in the 21st century? They might not even know themselves. I find it fascinating for its history, and I think Michael, too.
