Berlin is such a big city. Although it has one quarter of Paris‘ population, it is nine times bigger than the French capital. That’s the reason why you can find almost whatever you want in Berlin. The experience of spending a month in this capital full of history and peculiar places constitutes a topic to share.

What amazes me the most is how easily people fall in love with the city. For me, it is interesting how particularly strange some places look to me. Maybe it is just because of lack of habit. I can perceive that these last phrases are ambiguous and could be barely interpreted if I don’t try harder. Let’s just make an example:

Once upon a time there was one Colombia girl in Berlin. She was going with her boyfriend to a nice swimming pool, built over the river, that happened to become a club when the daylight was gone. Already amazed by this description, on her way to the pool this Colombian girl bump into a curious green field filled with giant benches, with abandoned buses and cars mixing with nature. This field looked to her eyes like a world of giants.

Something like that is what I was meaning.

Let’s get serious. In Berlin there are so many things to do (as I already say, Oh! God! What a repetitive girl), What I would undoubtedly recommend is to jump into history. If you don’t like museums, then find one of those walking or biking tours around the city. Besides working out your body, you will get to know so many stories and historical facts that explains most of the city’s ways.

Apart form that, I would recommend extensive walking with the eyes properly opened. Also, a pic-nic or a beer next to one of the canals sounds awesome (or, even better, if you have a blowing boat, then a trip trough the canals would be fantastic. My unrealized wish). And, taking advantage of your German lessons and all what you learn in every day class, intensive talking and smiling sounds like the perfect complement ;).
