: 36 Hours in Berlin
(Berlin T.V. Tower)
I hope to accomplish most of that after 36 months. An evening at the TV tower is expensive by Berlin standards, especially when you can "pay what you like" at wineries around town. It's also fair to say that although I spent a bit of my childhood in Charlottenburg, I rarely venture to the West.

In light of the 20th anniversary of the wall coming down, there is a plethora of events going on around town. Artists who painted murals along the east side gallery 2 decades ago have been invited to recreate what has faded or been covered in graffiti.
There are concerts (there is a rumor that the Hoff himself will be playing on Nov 9th) exhibitions, and of course a large scale, human recreation of the wall. At 8:15 pm on Nov 9th a chain will be formed along the path that the wall once followed. Naturally, I will be part of this and as soon as I find the youtube video of it I'll post it on the blog.
