It’s 2 years this month since I visited Berlin and since I’m making up for lost time with this blogging lark that seems a good enough reason to do a post on the German capital. It was my first visit to Germany and first time flying alone – quite a big deal!
Berlin is a very interesting city – in the last 100 years it’s been the headquarters of the most evil regime Europe’s ever seen and then divided in two by a huge concrete wall, for a History student who has studied the Nazis and the Cold War it was great to see the sites I’d read about over and over again in person.
Annoyingly I didn’t take a camera and my friend’s photography skills aren’t the best so there’s not many good pictures to show, another trip to Berlin is needed to get some decent snaps of the place.
The Travels of Tom 
Have u been to Austria, or anywhere else in Germany? 🙂
I haven’t been to Austria but I have been to Munich as well as Berlin. How about you?
Oh awesome!!! I haven’t been anywhere in Europe but I’d love to go to those 2 countries 🙂
Ah I see! I’ve hardly been to anywhere outside of Europe, I need to change this.
Yeah, if u haven’t been to Australia I would recommend it. It doesn’t have its own particular culture (it’s just very multicultural), nor much of a long history, but it’s a pretty nice and peaceful country I would say haha 🙂
Actually Australia is one of the 2 places I’ve been to outside of Europe! My aunt and her family live in Perth, the last time we went (Xmas 2006!) we also visited Sydney. I’d like to go back.
Oh right! Haha well that’s good then 😉
It’s just so so soooo far away!
It is! So u are from Europe then?
Yep, I live near London.
That’s so cool 🙂
Haha my town isn’t, it’s pretty dull and ugly but London is definitely cool. What’s your nearest big city?
Aw I’m sure it’s not that bad! There’s good in everything haha. Well I live in Brisbane, one of the main big cities in Australia 🙂
Now that really does sound cool! The Great Barrier Reef is around there, right?
Yes well it’s further up north, but yeah pretty close. Though I’ve never actually been there 😳
Wow what?! I guess that’s what happens sometimes, I’ve never been to Wales (not exactly the same but similar).
Haha true though! I kind of think, because it’s so close, it’s not that important that I go. I’d rather see Europe 😄 =P
So why are you so keen to see Europe? 😊
Haha I fell asleep! Sorry =P and well, I’ve always been interested in Europe. But especially Germany and Austria because I’m part Austrian haha 🙂
