Berlin hit me with a bunch of what I like to call “shock bullets”. Whether it was buildings, sights, graffiti, history, clubs, bars, people, food, I was left stunned by shock bullets whizzing by every hour or so.

You never know who you meet at various parts of the world who all of a sudden feel like old friends. It’s the beauty of traveling, like watching the water trickle down the window during a storm, and tons of them start merging together at who knows when. It was a rush, and a good time.

These pictures do Berlin no justice. I’ve been to 7 countries in the past 4 months, many of them bringing me the entire range of emotions, but none of them spoke the way Berlin did, which I found to be the most unique. Enjoy.

Flight to Berlin.

Awesome hostel where I met some awesome people.

Powerful statue memorializing the death seen in wars.

Memorial to the book burning at the start of the Nazi regime. Resembles an empty room of bookshelves.

Memorial to the Murdered Jews of Europe

The beautiful Sony Center. The roof is shaped like Mount Fuji.

"Squated" buildling full of artists of all forms. Coolest place I've ever seen.

500g+ pork. My friend wouldn't eat the fat.

Part III, IV, V, VI, VII, VIII, IX, X… they’re all coming, patience my dears.
