Berlin: Zum Dritten Mal

Schloß Sanssouci, Mausoleum

Former East Berlin. I had the chance to stay in West Berlin with my cousin and also near here with a friend whom I met at CMWC.

Waiting for the S-Bahn, Alexanderplatz, 8:30am

Alexanderplatz, 8:31am

Holocaust Memorial with the famous Hotel Adlon in the background (pale green roof). My great grandmother spent her honeymoon in this hotel. It's been said that the current rate for a grand suite costs €18,000.

Lone Remnants of the Wall

The famous (and infamous) Potsdamer Platz
