Berlin is like no other city. I never knew how peaceful a large city could be until I found myself staring up at the buildings that hold so many historical memories with the ivory that flows from window to window. I found that the shoes I brought made me feel every stone from the cobble stone pavements throughout the city. I found a discarded cobblestone a few nights into my trip and decided to bring it home with me as a little reminder of old and new Berlin.
The parks in Berlin are beautiful and inspiring. This green city really takes advantage of having them, with children flocking to the parks and people young and old enjoying each other’s company on a sunny day. You’ll find Ping-Pong tables in most of the parks in East Berlin because the former socialists of the east used Ping-Pong as a non-official sport. Germany and Korea were both front-line states in the Cold War and shared this hobby.
