There are many things I hate about my job, well who does not. Money, work, boredom etc etc. But there is one thing I love about my job is it takes me to places. Place I would not have either afforded to go to or many be would not have thought of going to. So whenever I geta chance I like to travel.
This time my work has taken m to Berlin. The capital city of Germany and symbol of its culture and heritage. Indeed, the cty is a mavel to live in. Though it is the largest city in Germany by population it is not crowded. almost all the buildings are no more than 5-5 story tall which gives it a very uniform skyline.
One thing I found common about Paris and Berlin is the feel of old city you have when you are waling in the streets. The streets are still laid with small stone pavements which they had back in days of horses and carts. Buildings are of Victorian era architecture giving visitor of actually living in a real life museum.
All said above, the buildings and streets dont make a city. It is the people of city which give it its distinct flavor. People are friendlier than i expected and they most understand and speak English. People i general have found are not straight jacketed and all too particular. You can easily find people crossing roads in your neighbored from all directions; which one can say is indiscipline but in another way is nice. German people by no standard are careless or reckless when they are at work.
So I am enjoying wonderful weather, nice people, plethora of choices in dining, beer and not to mention writing my first blog today.
Another thing I forgot to mention. It has been 16 days since I landed here and I have not found a single man who is as short as I am at 5;6" and barely a few girls. Quite an admission to make, eh?
