Hotel: Its where all the dignitaries stay. And where Michael Jackson stayed and had one of his many bad-press moments.

Brandenburg Gate!

Memorial to the Murdered Jew os Europe.

What it looks like from the inside.

Where Hitler's bunker is/was.

This building is massive. Its impossible to take a picture showing you how big it is... Its bigger than a City block. Its one of the only remaining pieces of Nazi Architecture.

Same building, different angle. Its the tax building now.

In front of the Nazi building... This is what life looked like in East Germany. Its a picture of a protest.

The picture of the protest is put there to counteract this... THIS is communist propaganda to show how great life was supposed to be in East Germany.

Wall.

Topography of Terror exhibit... on the other side of the wall above.

Checkpoint Charlie, that's not charlie though, that's just some modern art.

The French Church...

The church across from the French church. Someone complained that they wanted a chapel too... So they build one just like the French Church!

Memorial to the giant book-burning that took place here (across from Humboldt University) If you look in the hole, its a giant room filled with empty book cases.

Memorial.

This was something important that I forget... It was built not so long ago... Early 1900s? Because someone thought he was important and should be buried in a great cathedral. So he built it... then had to leave.

This used to be the East German parliament? Only... they didn't have one. So it was all shopping and clubs and things... Then they found asbestos in it. So now its this.

TV tower. Built to show how rich the East Germans were!

The giant building Hitler wanted to build. basically, it was going to be GINORMOUS. If you look super carefully you might be able to see the person that was put there for scale on the steps... Actually, probably not. Because he's too small/ the building is too big...

Model of a gas chamber...

River Spree! Its the river Berlin was built on.

Probably important, but I don't know what it is...

Tiergarten! Yes, this is right in the middle of downtown Berlin.

A memorial for something...

I love this picture. See the cobblestones? They signify where the wall used to stand. See the bus? Its on both sides of the wall. 20 years ago this wasn't possible.

Wall... With picture!

Awesome clock! It told you what time it was all around the world. Because the time spins... and the places are on the bottom. Its awesome.

East Side Gallery. One of the pictures on the wall.

Dome on the Reichtag!

Inside off the dome on the Reichtag.

View of Berlin from the top of the Reichtag... Thats the Brandenburg Gate!
