1) Of course, the TV tower, the iconic Berlin symbol. While we passed through Alexanderplatz, I had to take a photograph of it.
2) This was taken at the East Side Gallery, a segment of the Berlin wall that was kept up to show visitors and young Germans what it was like to live with a wall. Artists were allowed to come in and paint whatever they wanted. This one reads, "Peace for everything that lives on the earth."
3) What's cool about this painting is that it actually happened. In 1979, leaders Erich Honecker, from East Germany and Leonid Brezhnev, from the Soviet Union, show communist solidarity by kissing. Although this seems strange in western cultures, and makes an iconographic photo, it was rather common to kiss other men on the lips as a greeting.
4) A cute bumper sticker I saw in one of the bars Alex took me to.
5) This morning, Sascha and Katja got in from China, and we went to the farmer's market down the street. We bought a ton of food, and ate it on the balcony outside of their living room. Looks good, right?
