Berlin's Finest: Kreuzberg

Kreuzberg, the city's capital of subculture, is one of my absolute favorite districts in Berlin.

So, so much cool street art.

So much urban decay.

 Love it.

Here's a few photos from my recent trips. Enjoy!

Berlin, ich liebe dich.

Berlin is possibly one of the coolest cities I've ever had the privilege of visiting. It's Germany's capital, and for a country that is so often stereotyped as being rigid and lacking a sense of humor, Berlin comes as a bit of a shock to the misinformed. This city is alive at all hours, and I have never seen so much cool graffiti in my life. Kreuzberg, which is a historically Turkish district, is now the trendy scene for going out, and virtually every inch of the streets are plastered with posters, stickers, and street art. I've visited the city 5 times now and I don't think I'll ever get enough of it. Anywho, here's part one of the Berlin set... more to come in the next few days! Including loads of street art from Kreuzberg! Enjoy :)

Well, there's snow in Germany (tons of it, to be exact), and here's a few photos from my Sunday walk. Enjoy!
