Lesson continues....
This is a typical Nazi architecture...hmmm..personally I tink it is just a normal building..similar to those in sg...but well I dont understand architecture well enough...
This is one of the largest and oldest building in Europe..(at least tt what I remember)...it is the Nazi office and the only building that escape from destruction during WWII despite it huge structure...it is not destroyed due to pure luck! Maybe its massive structure serves as a landmark for the Allies..so it is not destroyed...this building remind pple of their dark history past hence it is not popular and well liked...Today it is not well liked as well..due to it being the TAX OFFICE! hahaha..
The infamous BERLIN WALL!....well actually it is just concrete...nothing special...look at the pix...u will know what I mean...Though it is nothing special on the exterior..it carry lots of meaning, stories and significance..there r a few stories about the berlin wall..(berlin wall is constructed by the Soviet to separate East berlin from West berlin that is controlled by democracy) One of the famous stories is that a young west berlin guy fall in love with a east berlin girl..in order to bring the girl from the west to the east which is strongly prohibited (may even be killed by the guards), the guy had a car that can drive sooo low that it zoom past the guard and through the small hole under the wall! The guards cannot even react at that point of time! They just stare at it blindly! From tt on, the Soviet decided to modify the wall till it fully cover all available spaces to escape!
This is a pic of the Soviet army staring at the democractic WEST berlin.
This the USA soldier staring back at the Soviet ruled east berlin during post WWII.The pics r still hanging there to remind people of the opposing ideologies and how WWIII nearly started!
Some pic for sightseeing...cannot rmb the history of these building as spoken by the guide anymore... wil continue in another post! Stay tuned!
