Berlin

This has been one of my favorite places to visit. There is so much history here and the city was completely changed during the war and since the Berlin Wall came down and Germany was reunited. It is different than the rest of Europe because the buildings are not hundreds of years old.
I took a walking tour of the city to see Brandenburg Gate (see pic), Hitlers Bunker, Postdamer Platz, the SS Headquarters, Museum Island, Holocaust Memorial, Berlin Wall, Checkpoint Charlie (see pic),and more. I also saw the most secured construction site in the world at the moment at the US Embassy. And the hotel where Michael Jackson was hanging the baby out of the window.
I also went to Sachsenhausen concentration camp outside Berlin. It was the model that all other camps followed and a place where over 50,000 people died. It was incredible to see and hear about what happened there. There are many reminders around the city to remind people of Germany s dark history.
I also was able to go to a music festival with a group of locals. It was so cool to hang out with them and listen to their music. They were really funny when they started dancing around to a traditional song with a traditional dance and then switched to singing "lolli-pop" in English.
