European NY

Hello my dear new friends and welcome to Berlin!  I hope that you are having a good time here, that everything is going well!! I hope that you have already done your first city tour and that you like the city!! If not, I’m giving you advice to look in any Starbucks for a free city map.This map is actually advertizing free city tour, so all info regarding the tour you can find on this map.I took this tour and guide was awesome so I can really recommended it.
As you can see, Berlin is city full of different vibrations- old Western and Eastern, and today city of freedom, city of hipsters, city where the fashion is out of rules and orders!! I was shocked with too many people with dirty clothes and hair like there’s no bathrooms and hairdressers, drinking beer on the streets and U-bahns, and walking with the street’s dogs I was like: ‘’Mama mia, save me’’!!
Later on, actually after 6 months living here, I feel better now, but I still repeat the sentence: ‘’… and all this cultural schock that can attack you when you go down in the Berlin’s subway…. ‘’ Actually, the last photo I saw on facebook was a 50 years old naked guy with a beer in his hand, seating in the u-bahn so relaxed like he was just going home after working day. This was very bizarre.
The most representative places where you can see this unique spirit of modern Berlin are around U-bahn Warsauerstrasse, Squats all painted in graffiti, with strange people with heavily pierced on their bodies or people with three different haircoulours wearing two different shoes!
There’s some people who don’t like them at all, and there’s no hope that they will change their opinion
