Freezing and interesting Berlin, tolerant and internationally multicultural Berlin, history and modern architecture, street art... such as in Tacheles, "Alternative-Kunst in der Ruine eines ehemaligen Kaufhauses" and nightlife... such as in the techno oasis Berghain (much as Tresor was in its respective heydays), a huge club in an old power generation plant.
Pleasant encounters with friends and newly born Elsa, strolling on the snow around renowned Christmas markets, flea markets in MauerPark and fashion "made in Berlin".
Multi-ethnic food and original hamburgers, Berlin pilsner and Gluwhein...
...and THE WALL with all its history.
