    OKAY ALL.... back from a quick get away in Berlin...here are my fav's...
    spent some time with some good friends.. and their gorgeous.. 5th floor apartment... yes a WALKUP... and it nearly killed me..for friends that KNOW me... elevator is the waaaay to go!!.. but i have been known to walk.. haha... but worth it for a view full of greenery and sunshine... rare sight in HK... actually rare sight in NYC too...its something very european....

    full of beautiful buildings.. surely this is a place i could escape..and shop... lots of very cool boutiques..

    Couldn't resist this one...

    ..and this one reminds me of SHANG



    Cool streets


    My favorite shop is in a courtyard.....thru the archway...old..leafy.. and the entire building belongs to an old jewish family now residing in NYC... most of it is almost falling apart but residents rent only and fix them up.... old world charm




    vintage shack that used to be a flower shop...its a metal container revamped in wood panels...


    Beergardens are all the rage... and the berliner's famous drink.. made from woodruff... tasted like green soda....hmm




    and one of their famous dishes... white aparagus, breaded porkchop and parsley potatoes... VERY simple and Yummy

    Street art crews.. here are a few that i found quite humorous..


    astronaut..


    flea markets... gorg covered hangers.... has IKEA found their way to these yet???
    this flea market is also HOT for sunglasses....LOTS and lots... sorry.. i got so carried away.. i forgot to take photos for you!!




    MAC FANS..



    and this  one is for  Narom...


    A quick stop at WOlfgang Tillman's exhibit amongst others...if you are in the neighbourhood.. go check it out...






    finally the BErLIN WALL remains.... surprisingly low... but the thought of peoople getting shot along this wall also haunts me...




    extension of the Berlin war memorial...


    this is the church that got rebuilt.. it lays between east and west..its  very cool inside and the light filters amazingly well....



    thats it.... now back to work...!

    Cool, thanks for sharing! I love especially the metal building w/wood panels. I had schnitzel in Frankfurt once.

    I visited East & West Berlin as people were tearing down the wall in December 1989.  It was an exciting time that sadly went sour just a couple of years later with the tremendous infestation of Russians into Germany that changed the value of a pay-check immensely.  Still, Germany is one of the richest countries in the world today, somehow, so I guess that's what the U.S. and other countries need now is to lose a war, and rebuild using the wealth of other nations.  Indeed, the Beast is rising.

    Europeans believe in curved streets (not really curved but with bldgs in a contiguous line even around curves). Very European indeed!

    This idea is unusual. Nobody draws astronauts. But I like.
