I know i haven't been that active in blogging. Sorry, busy with work and getting used to the life here. And of course, some travelling as well.

Ok, first up, my long back dated entry about Berlin



Boarding the air plane. It first came as culture shock to me that i have to be driven to the air plane by a bus and walk up the plane myself, with the wind howling strongly, threatening to blow me away
But i am becoming a seasoned traveller these days, as i feel ok about this, even this is not a budget airline.

Berlin Tegel airport. Looks quite nice, trust me, the exterior looks nothing like the interior. A relic from the Soviet times i guess


TV Tower! Seems like almost every city in Europe has a TV tower. Where's Singapore's? Not this nicest building around, but it still feels good to snap a picture of it



After i have checked into my hostel, i rushed to the Berlin Open Tennis Center. Not exactly a tourist attraction, but it is my dream to be in a tennis arena which is huge, at least to me :) And it is a clay court somemore!

Can you believe that the super stars like Steffi Graff, Jennifer Capriati and Justine Henin were in this court?? Thrilled just to think about it.

Aptly named after the legend, Steffi Graf


Lim Bei stepped on the clay court!
Forgot the name of this ancient building, but it just looks odd in the middle of the town center


Island Museum. Where there are couple of world famous museums surrounded by the river. A UNESCO World Heritage Site. Quite breath-taking seriously




Sony Center. So futuristic right? As the name suggest, it is built by Sony. It is not any normal entertainment venue. There is a specially preserved wall during the Soviet times i think inside a restaurant

The wall i am referring to.



A green space outside Sony Center which we can only dream about

Me and the Famous Brandeburg Gate. The symbol of Berlin. Needless to say, it is my famous building in Berlin. Okay, i know i look retard inside



I love it so much, that i snapped many many shots

Brandeburg Gate at night. Charming and a view to die for

I joined a guided tour in the morning which starts near the Brandeburg Gate and it was really good. Get to know more about Berlin's tragic nostagic history.

The Reichstag, The German Parliament. It is a famous attraction and tourists can actually go up to the dome. I didn't because the queue was too long and i didn't want to spend my precious waiting.


Berlin is famous for its Soviet history and Hitler. This plot of space is actually the place where Hilter's palace was during the 2nd World War. I was told that structures and beams are still below the ground because it was too tough to be destroyed



At the position of this hole was the site where Hilter killed himself when he knew he lost the war.

The famous or infamous Berlin Wall.

The line was actually where the Berlin Wall once stood.


A famous square which i cannot remember the name :)


Pergamomuseum. One of the many many museums Berlin has. I went to this one because ancient civilisations items were displayed. Pretty good i must say



Okay..actually i have taken a lot of pictures. These are just the highlights. Can show it to you guys when i am back. Probably 3 weeks more. Berlin is actually very nice city, things are changing with a good mix of old and new. And it is cheaper than most European cities. Just a bit more expensive than Singapore. I spent 150 euros during my 2.5 days there. So it is pretty reasonable


I will blog about my Istanbul trip and about my life in London soon. If i decide to make a trip to Paris next week, i will have more stuff to show u guys. Hopefully, i can work things out. Time is always not enough. As well as money.
