Berlin- Day 1 &2


Berlin, the capital city of Germany. It is the first time I visit Berlin, honestly, I don't have much expectation because I didn't know much about Berlin beside the film festival. But Berlin did has its charm and beauty that make you remember its unique culture and long history. You can see graffiti along the wall and even the metro is painted. Youngsters are dressed in punk and play skateboard. Vibrant & youthful city.

Language: German
Currency: Euro
Accommodation: Plus Berlin

Day 1

We headed to the 1. Berlin wall upon arrival.









Then, headed back to the hostel to drop our luggage and had the traditional German sausage for dinner. The room and the toilet were spacious and there was air conditioner in the room. *clapping hand.


Some photos of the garden in the hostel.




So cute, I'm melting.

It was a bit sad that Reichstag building was closed for renovation when we were there. I had been eyeing on this place and the beautiful architecture since I first see it on Instagram years ago. I'm coming back for you! ;p
