| Topic | Berlin does not seem like a top tier city. |

IdiotMachine posted...there is graffiti everywhere (we're staying at a four star hotel in a supposedly good district in Berlin: Tiergarten, and even here, it's full of graffiti), garbage on the streets, lots of beggars (more so than London, our previous city we visited earlier), no show of force (is there even police here? I don't recall seeing a police officer!), and almost all museums on the museum island is dedicated to non-German topics... On top of all this, I found out pretty much every single building here is a reconstruction, and even the Berlin Cathedral Church is a more modernly built church only made to LOOK old... I guess lots of things changed in five years then. Because there is graffiti, the museums on museum island focus on Egyptian, European, African, and Asian art and history (instead of Germany), bunch of "historical" buildings are reconstructions (Berlin Palace is undergoing a reconstruction right now), and the Berlin Cathedral Church was rebuilt in 1900s but looks to be as old/designed as the St Paul's Cathedral in London... --- ...
