Hi Bloggers:)
Today I'd like to tell you about a city I'd like to visit. At the moment, I think the city I'd most like to visit is Berlin. I've been lucky enough to visit some amazing cities in my time but for some reason I never made it to Berlin. I visited Germany a couple of times when I was younger but went mainly in the south-west (the Black Forest area) and Munich, which is in the south-east.
I don't really know much about Berlin but I have heard people talk wonders about its architecture and how, nowadays, it is a very modern, vibrant place. I also know that it has a great underground music scene and that it's a very open-minded society, being home to Europe's biggest Gay & Lesbian street party. It's also a historical city and I imagine that it has a similar feel to other cities I've been to such as London, Paris or Milan. I enjoy these cites for the way that they have incorporated new architecture in harmony with the old and I'm sure Berlin is that way too. Obviously, going to the site of the Berlin Wall would be a highlight of any Berlin trip. I guess it must be a city to see on foot and
one thing I'd love to do there would be a David Bowie Walking Tour. Bowie lived in the city for about 3 years and produced a trilogy of albums (Low, Heroes, Lodger) as well as producing, co-writing and playing on 2 Iggy Pop albums (The Idiot, Lust For Life). The tour lasts about 3-4 hours and I think it would serve a double function. Not only would I hear about Bowie and his time in the city, but also see a different side of the city that most tourists wouldn't necessarily see. I think the places the tour visits must be quite mundane as Bowie led a very "ordinary" life when he lived there.
Obviously, I'd like to go there with my wife. I don't know any German except counting to 10 and ordering a coffee or a beer, but my wife speaks some so she would have to do all the talking:)

ReplyDeleteIs very funny that one reason for you want to go to Berlin are because David Bowie stayed there. I admire your admiration for he and hope you can visit this city soon.

ReplyDeleteWhat most attracts my attention in Berlin is the wall and the way that the Germans preserve it as a reminder of the past in many places in the city
