Berlin Love Story
Here's a modern Love Story. A love story of two, who couldn't be any more different. One is a city, the other an Australian girl.
It's Andrea McEwan's Berlin Love Story, a blog in which this Australian singer discovers the city she lives in. She explores Berlin, and as she puts it "The city and I are living together but we never really got to know each other. I think it's high time we met up..."
Providing insight into Berlin and meeting up with some of characters that make Berlin the fascinating place it is, she also gives advice for travellers on where to go and what to check out!
It's amazing how much you can learn about a city when you look at it through somebody elses' eyes. A native Berliner will point out different things than a tourist, and a German visiting the capital will see different things to what a foreign national living in the city will see.
Berlin, in effect, is one big adventure playground, no matter what your interest is. There are treasures and gems hidden throughout, and going on this treasure quest is really what any kind of travelling should be about. There's a lot to discover - from obscure little places, to whole sub-cultures - just keep your eyes and ears open and stray away from the well-trodden tourist paths.
Although the city stays the same, it is different each day. Beating the crowds at the Pergamonmuseum to see the special exhibition of Babylon; being invited into a Pankow backyard for a BBQ; taking the subway and bus around and away from the tourist spots - all very different from standing on top of the Reichstagsgebaeude, strolling down Ku'Damm (Kurfuerstendamm), shopping at the KaDeWe (Kaufhaus des Westens) and walking along the Berliner Mauer at East Side Gallery - and yet all of these experiences make up Berlin.
Stroll into the yards at "Hackesche Hoefe", listening to buskers in the subway tunnel underneath Alexanderplatz, explore all the different suburbs of Berlin and their quirks and ways of life.
Andrea takes you around the German capital with her.... and who knows? Maybe, you too will fall in love!
