berlin

i spent last weekend in berlin, where i met with jared - a good friend from my service in haifa. none of us had been there before, which had its challenges and blessings. it was a great experience, we walked everywhere and experienced a city many contrast. the new modern architecture around the center of town, stood in great contrast to the communist style architecture in other parts of town. my experience of germany is that it is very aware of its history, the jewish museum fx., which showed how the jews had been persecuted for many generations before the holocaust. this unselfconsciousness is something i find that admirable.


i enjoyed the street art which was all over the city, as well as i enjoyed the museums displaying classical and modern art. it was refreshing to go to museums and walk the streets, where i was able to experienced different styles of art.

i managed to take a few pictures (link) while i was there and i hope that they can convey part of my experience.

i will definitely be going to back to berlin, where i will go and re-experience the places i enjoyed. next up my bachelors project on the political discourse on hijabs in denmark. holla
