Divided not only the city but the world. - MEET BERLIN

Berlin - stands upon the vast European Plain in Northeastern Germany, on the banks of the River Spree

Berlin's history has been one of the most triumph and tragedy, tyranny and transformation, brought to her knees by the two World wars and then divided by The cold war between the East and West Germany (1961-1989).

However, this glittering city has been reemerged to become one of the world's top economic and creative powerhouse.

Furthermore, Berlin enjoys an air spaciousness which is very unusual in European cities, I always see forest and tall trees around me, and the leaves fell off leaving all the tree trunks, giving me an illusion of the forest in Corpse bride(Movie created by Tim Burton).

That grim and dark feeling I must say I have never experienced such things before!

For 28 years, the Berlin Wall - the most potent symbol of the Cold War - divided not only the city but the world.
Twenty-five years after its fall, little remains of the barrier between East and West,
but those seeking to understand its impact needn't look far.

Learning the story of the wall has given me a thought of how valuable freedom is.

Nonetheless, I may not be German or have not been experienced any of the World War but by reading the posts and visiting the exhibitions inside the East Side Gallery, you will finally understand how valuable freedom and money is to East Germany in the past.

They crawl over the walls risking their own life just to cross the border to West Germany - people who get caught will be taken to prisons or somewhere no one knows...

East Side Gallery is a monument to freedom of expression -

Wall murals had previously been a highlight for visitors and a Berlin attraction for years but were only to be found on the western side of the Wall. The artists transformed the grey concrete rearticulating this into a lasting expression of freedom and reconciliation.

Wearing black as this is a black history, a history that no one wants to be reemerged or be told again :)
