I kept on hearing about how great Sundays in Mauer Park are. All my friends go and have fun there every weekend, but, for different reasons, I only managed to get there last Sunday. It was a beautiful day and it would have been a shame not to go.

First we entered the world of “Everything you might or might not need”. If you were there in a Sunday you know what I’m talking about. It’s this big fair where you find everything from buttons to old cameras and gas masks. You can really get lost among all that stuff. That’s why, after a short while, we decided to get out.

But, as we were leaving the fair, I saw a wall singing – a wall of people sitting on the stone steps of what it seemed to be an amphitheatre that were encouraging a little girl to finish her karaoke song.  It was so nice to see that shy but brave 6 year old standing in front of all those people and singing. When she finished the wall of people applaud with enthusiasm.

Then my friend told me that here people come every Sunday for karaoke and the atmosphere is always very good. And so it seemed because everyone was enjoying the moment! We wanted to join them, but there were no more places left, so we decided to watch a little from the opposite side.

After few more minutes a new performer came up on stage. We all recognized the song from the very beginning – it was Whitney Houston’s song I will always love you from the soundtrack of the Bodyguard movie. Not the kind of song you would listen at home, I assume, but in there it was fun to watch.  People started singing next to the woman on stage, while waving hands. It was a full of live and colored wall singing a love song. It was pretty impressive.

That’s when I though, hmm… maybe the Berlin Wall is not the only reason why they call this place Mauer Park (The Wall Park)! I really recommend you do go there in a Sunday. It’s free, it’s fun and there are so many things happening that you’ll surely find something suitable for you.
