Care for Berlin.

Lamanya tak kemaskini blog. Hati sangat risau sekarang sebab semester ticket hilang. Baguskan. Careless. The ticket worth for 133 euro. Kalau nak minta ticket baru kena tambah lagi 25 euro. It's a matter of money of course. T_T

Even trip to Berlin is cheaper than that. Okay abaikan hal itu. Let me tell you about wonderful city of Berlin. Travel distance from Heidelberg to Berlin is plus minor 630 km. It took more than 10 hours to reach Berlin with slow train. Yes it's quite far.

Capital city of Germany, Berlin.

I need a week to explore Berlin. A very nice city. Our four-days trip is not enough.

Busy trains come and go.

This largest city of Germany has great urban background and historical inheritance. My first day here was like wow! More pleasant than Paris.

Very confusing to choose which place has to go first.

Brandernburg Gate, the only gate that exists after Berlin was once entered.

Holocaust Memorial. Concrete slabs arranged on a grid pattern in sloping field. A memorial to the million of murdered Jewish.

Parliament of the German Empire.

I am not really fascinated with history. Still, it is good to know a bit about it.

This was like an amazing trip. Hari pertama sampai di Berlin nak check-in bilik tak dapat sebab fully booked. Terus aku bersama teman-teman berkeliaran sekitar Berlin mencari masjid kerna mau solat. Terjumpa dengan seorang hamba Allah yang baik hati dan dia tunjukkan masjid Indonesia. Lalu berbuka puasa di masjid. Makanan yang sangat sedap MashaAllah. You know how Indonesian dishes look like kan. Berterawih pun disitu. Ketika berborak bersama hadirin di situ, ada seorang perempuan German tapi dah masuk Islam. Suaminya orang Indonesia. Dia amat petah berbahasa Indonesia. Dia risaukan kami tiada tempat untuk tidur malam itu terus menghubungi kenalannya warganegara Malaysia.

Kak Amy dan abang Nazri. Suami isteri yang sangat baik budi pekerti sudi tumpangkan kami tidur di rumah mereka. Ingat nak menginap semalam saja tapi terus diajak untuk tinggal selama 4 hari. Kak Amy sediakan makanan yang sangat enak untuk berbuka dan sahur selama kami di sana. Hanya Allah yang mampu balas budi baik mereka.

A boat tour on river offers a relaxing city sightseeing. Too much nice buildings along the river. All pictures showed below are only a few from them.

Checkpoint Charlie. It represents a crossing point between East and West Berlin. A symbol of Cold War.

I repeat. Berlin is great. This largest Germany's city located at northeastern part. Center of culture, politics, media and science.

Bye-bye. Sahur is waiting.
