Some Memories
It's been 500 days since I left Germany.
I was talking with some residents about really tall buildings when, for some reason, I started talking about the Fernsehturm in Berlin. I don't know what it is about that wierd looking tower that I found so appealing. It's tall for Europe (obviously). I mean, people there for some reason are not in love with the huge HUGE buildings like they are in North America and East Asia. Even though I loved Potsdamer Platz, it apparently isn't all that great in the eyes of the people of Berlin. They don't want another Chicago or another New York. Berlin is Berlin, and if anyone tries to make it something it's not, no one handles it very well.
I think in the future more Germans will appreciate Potsdamer Platz, but as of yet, it's still seen as somehow destroying German heritage. I say just let Love Parade suck it. haha...I love Love Parade. Anyone thinking Berlin, Summer 2006?
