Berlin....

So I know I said that I would try and keep more on top of this blog but I ave recently been so busy. I managed to somehow blag an interview for a stylist position at All Saints. I know there is no way in hell that I will get the job, however I figured the experience at the interview would be good and give me more confidence in the future. So moving on....

My travels the second place that I visited was Berlin. It was the most amazing experience of my life. I fell in love with the city and it completely felt like home to me. If I could do anything with my life right this instant it would be move to Berlin and just walk around the endless streets taking in the atmosphere of the city. On arrival in Berlin I was pretty shocked, I am a history student so it probably should of occurred to me that the city had been rebuilt after War in 45. However I was expecting a quaint little German city. Instead I was greeted by huge buildings, long streets and very harsh corners. From the Brandenburg gate to the Berlin wall it was all over powering and spoke volumes for the history that Germany holds. 

As a friend was already in Berlin when we arrived he recommended an area named Friedrichshain. This was a trendy area with lots of cool bars. One was called Palm Beach, in the style of a beach complete with sand covering the floor and amazing but cheap cocktails. We spent our first night sipping Pina Coladas in the smoky atmosphere. The second night we found an amazing club on the east side of town. White Trash, Fast Food. Words can not explain how much I fell in love with this place. The combination of live bands, friendly people and an amazing atmosphere made it worth visiting again on our return trip to Berlin.

The final experience that I feel I must share is my visit to Spree Park again in the East which I have decided is defiantly the place to be in Berlin. An abandoned theme park. In all fairness I did have to take on board the illicit illegal activity of breaking and entering, but so did the other 20 or so people we saw wondering around. The place was amazing but in an eerie way, the plants were twisting around the structures and the Ferris wheel rotated in the wind. Without a doubt it was my favorite experience of Berlin just because it was something that you can't do all the time.

There you go a whistle stop post on my time in Berlin, to me the most amazing place in the world.
