I am obsessed with bikes… I’ve found Berlin as a perfect city for riding one. There is no view in Berlin without Berliner or Berlinerin on a bicycle. If you don’t see any bikers, take a closer look, at least a bike itself must be somewhere around ;)
Berlin is amazing! I visited it last year during my German-Austrian ‘Guten Tag! Deutsch Time’ Nona Hora EuroTrip and loved to walk its busy open-sky streets. I am currently working on my next travel photo book, looking through Berlin cityscape and street photography and finding some interesting photos I have not shared with you yet. [...]
Dedicated to Nefertiti’s 100 Year Anniversary. Nefertiti was the Great Royal Wife of the Egyptian Pharaoh Akhenaten. Owing to her Bust, a 3,300-year-old painted limestone, Nefertiti has become one of the most famous women of the ancient world, and an icon of feminine beauty. The work is believed to have been crafted in 1345 BC [...]

One of the highlights of my trip to Berlin, Germany was a city tour on the River Spree. It was a wonderful evening sail around Berlin, very relaxing. Dinner and drinks were available from an onboard bar. GPS driven audio guide was very informative. If you are planning your visit to Berlin, I would highly [...]
Checkpoint Charlie (or “Checkpoint C”) was the name given by the Western Allies to the best-known Berlin Wall crossing point between East Berlin and West Berlin during the Cold War. The Soviet Union prompted the construction of the Berlin Wall in 1961 to stop Eastern Bloc emigration westward through the Soviet border system, preventing escape [...]
The Berlin Wall was a barrier, more than 140 kilometres (87 mi) long, constructed by the German Democratic Republic (GDR, East Germany) starting on August 13, 1961, that completely cut off West Berlin from surrounding East Germany and from East Berlin. The Eastern Bloc claimed that the wall was erected to protect its population from [...]
I found Berlin as a very youthful city. It is green, wide open, a great city to explore on two wheels. The hotels and rental companies offer bike rental from €10 per day. I used to think that Amsterdam is the most busiest cycling city in Europe. However, I’ve changed my mind after this trip- [...]
The Soviet War Memorial (Tiergarten) is one of several war memorials in Berlin, erected by the Soviet Union to commemorate its war dead, particularly the 80,000 soldiers of the Soviet Armed Forces who died during the Battle of Berlin in April and May 1945. The memorial is located in the Großer Tiergarten, a large public [...]
EuroTrip 2012: Day 1 and 2. The way it’s supposed to be- I have entered Berlin on a white horse through the Brandenburg Gate! Seriously, my Delta flight from a new Atlanta’s International Terminal was two hours delayed- believe it or not, a cleaning crew was late… Delta called it “Security Reasons”. After 24 sleepless [...]
