Finally, Berlin!!!

Finally, BERLIN!!!

After all these months staying in Deutschland, I’ve finally been there.

Thanks to Fino and Ari, for hosting and guiding us. Thanks to Chandra and Rudi for guiding us during our second day there. To Chandra, thanks for the treat though. You guys great!

What’s there?

#Historical stuff

— Berlin’s wall, gedächtnisse Kirche, holocaust museum, and so on

Luckily I’ve spent hours in Holocaust museum (the memorial to the murdered jews of Europe). It’s free!! A friend recommended us to go there. There I could see the remains of Jewish and holocaust related. The atmosphere was way too gloomy. You’re not even allowed to shout, using blitz, and so on, due to respecting all the victims. It’s amazing how they respect history. Do we?

Brandenburger tor, you're not yet in Berlin, if you miss this one.

#great Indonesians

#greatest sambal I’ve ever tasted in Germany. Hahaha… I forgot what the Resto’s called. Suddenly miss Indonesia.

#such metropolitan stuff and building

It’s interesting. Part of Berlin is a very historical one, yet another is so-called metropolitan city (It’s so Jakarta alike).

#finest spot to do some photo shoots

#Festival of lights

Yearly event held in Berlin. Yet again, we’re lucky enough arriving at the exact time when this event fell still.

Anyway, it’s also my first time taking trip with mitfahren (just like hitchhiking). I pay for 14 euro to one who drives me to Berlin. The driver is a German. He got a nice and cozy car, but his driving made me a bit dizzy. As I was drove away, it makes me wonder how they could just simply trust everyone getting in their cars. though it’s a good thing to do this kind of stuff. First it’s helping for energy saving, and of course, fewer cars mean less pollution. Guess I am not that brave to do this same stuff in Indonesia, unless I know the driver. :D

Why am I?

ANYWAY. Three days trip in Berlin has been great and interesting. Can’t wait to go back there again some other time.
