Konnopke’s Imbiss, yum the Currywurst!

During our trip to Berlin, we ate Currywurst (Fried pork sausage with curry ketchup) at least once a day.

It is a very special place, a well-kept ruin of an old airport. Now it is an open public park. People can grill barbecues, ride bikes, rollerskates, or just walk around. I could totally be relaxed here, because there were nothing here but an open ground. … Continue reading Tempelhofer Feld

Dome and Berlin

Magnificent View! Berlin Cathedral

I think Berlin is much prettier during the day. It’s totally different from Asian cities I’ve visited, such as Shanghai, Taipei, Tokyo and Seoul. These cities glitter during the night. I think it’s probably because of the street lights and neon lights. Berlin doesn’t have as much neon lights as these cities. One can’t really see what’s out there in the night. I am speaking … Continue reading Magnificent View! Berlin Cathedral

Weekly Market at Kollwitzplatz (Wochenmarkt Kollwitzplatz)

We went to the market after visiting Berlin Wall Memorial. The distance between two places are a short ride of tram and a 5 minutes’ walk. The streets to the market from the tram stop Husemann Straße is very pretty and there are loads of trendy shops on the nearby Knackstraße. It would be a nice place to stop by. The market is open 9:00-16:00 … Continue reading Weekly Market at Kollwitzplatz (Wochenmarkt Kollwitzplatz)
