It is as if a competely new city, even a completely new civilization is being built. This experience said it all as Berlin and Germany become unified again. I think that Germans are very happy to see the reconstruction of their city after so many years of eastern oppression by the Russian occupation. One of the most fascinating things I found about Berlin was its awesome modern architecture. No longer are Germans using the old ideas of straight up and square in designing new structures.
Every new building is different.
The new Daimler-Chrysler Building and the Sony Center are architecural gems. But, even amidst such massive reconstruction we could still find signs of Berlin's past as we looked over leftover pieces of the dividing Berlin wall. S. Summit Ave.
