The sound of Berlin

The sound of Berlin

It’s a scorching summer day in Berlin with 30 degrees. Coincidentally, it’s been 40 years since the release of Summer in Berlin, the well-known song by German band Alphaville. This was a song that I listened to a lot at the time it was released way back in 1984.

Winter in Berlin

Berlin is ever changing. Last time I was in Berlin about a decade ago. I remember a sky full of construction cranes in the eastern parts. The city has seen some serious improvements since then and some areas has changed beyond recognition.

Fall of the Berlin Wall

Fall of the Berlin Wall

Exactly twenty years ago, the Berlin Wall was opened and Germany was reunited about a year later. I remember reading about it in the newspapers of 1989, perhaps a bit too young to fully grasp the impact of this monumental event.
