Berlin

Arrived at the coach station in Berlin very early in the morning. Know nothing about German, we were forced to analyse the map in German language. =(

After waiting for some time, we finally got our way to Rosa Luxembourg Platz by metro. Hehe.

Checked into St Christopher's Inn. The hostel is just in front of the metro station. Hehe. It's so convenient. The staff were very very friendly. They gave us free breakfast.

The hostel is cool too. Bar at night and cafe in the day. Hehe. The food served in the cafe is cheap and very big portion.

Strolled to the city of Berlin. First thing I noticed is their traffic lights. They are so cute. I managed to buy the Traffic light badge in out of the shops here.

Joined Sanderman's tour in Berlin too. Almost everything in Berlin is about history. The cost of living is lower here compared to other cities in Germany.

Will not type much. Let the pics do the talking. Hehe
