Is Northern Germany well worth visiting in its own right then?


It is, mainly for the landscape and the maritime climate. It's a great place for hiking and biking, which is one reason that I moved here. Only the architecture is boring :)

And for the North German school of organ builders and music.
Not that I actually have - but one day, one day...

Yet another place I want to go then. I'll never, ever get round them all at this rate - and that's limiting myself just to Europe!

I like the photos with all the people on minding their own business. I could look at them for hours.

I'm dying to see Akihabara. I dunno why, but Europe's never really done it for me as a must do.

I would post more photos but a lot of the ones I plan to post will be information boards. Would it be better if I left those out?

Redecorating my room and lo and behold what I found underneath the wallcovering

I really like the bright colours. It must be from the late 60´s when the former owners child was a small girl.

I plan to keep a small square of it. I will put new wallpaper around it and then put an empty frame arond it. Should work out fine.

OK, more photos:

Just off the train at Ostbanhof in Freidrichshain:

Image

And the other end of this street:

Image

A chicken takeaway place on that street:

Image

These photos are taken in Neukölln, not too far from my hotel, which is in the heart of the Turkish immigrant part of the city. I went in the supermarket across the road there but it was so impossibly busy that I wasn't able to buy anything without having to wait half an hour to get out of there. A pity, actually, as everything was inexpensive compared to the rest of Berlin:

Image

And a bit further up that street:

Image

The next morning, we decided to go to the Stasi Museum. Before we set out for the day, though, I took a photo of the dining area of our hotel:

Image

Having made the journey necessary (and had bockwurst along the way to tide us over), here's the U-Bahn station just outside the museum:

This is the result of me pointing my camera at random things on my roof terrace and snapping away. The shots looked rather crappy, so I slapped some Photoshop filters on them to make them look somewhat artistic.
