Berlin is a great city.
I first travelled to Berlin in 1990 because the Berlin Wall has been torn down, and it was the nearest city to connect to the rest of Europe.
Kee was disappointed that his application to run the Berlin Marathon was unsuccessful.
Then, he applied via a running club, and managed to get a slot to run. I looked forward to my third short travel to Berlin :)
Berlin Wall The first time I arrived in Berlin was via the Trans-Siberian Train from Beijing in 1990. The wall has just been torn down and it such a historic moment to arrive into (West) Berlin, crossing Charlie Checkpoint (if my memory is right?!)

Gendarmenmarkt
The second visit was a business conference to present the start-up initiative. Inka whom I knew from my Melbourne trip drove from Luceck to meet me. We went to the city, a garden and have lunch and dinner together. I was indeed grateful.
Museum Island
We walked the Museum Island on a beautiful sunny morning.
Berlin Cathedral
Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe
As I walked through the Memorial, I hope the world can make peace rather than war...

I am always interested to find out more about Chinatown.
Alexanderplatz
Our hotel was near Alexanderplatz.
Much has changed in Berlin, for the better. :)
