Today was one of my favorite days. The altertive tour we took was so interesting and it defiantly was my favorite tour so far. Our tour guide although I was skeptical at first was very knowledgeable about the area and why it is the way it is. I thought the way graffiti played such a big role in the culture there was very interesting considering it was actually illegal. The part of town we toured was defiantly on the edgier side of town but it was really cool to see that type of culture when the punk and grungy culture obviously plays such a huge part in the city of Berlin. It was also interesting to to see because during my last trip to Berlin we only saw the cleaner government district of the city which is a complete 180 from the raw and the rougher part of town and it was an interesting juxtaposition to see both parts of the city and how there both so vital to the city but are so different in what they provide. We also went to the cultural fair at night which was so much fun and it was just one big party and it was great to see that side of Berlin as well. Tomorrow we will be using the sight seeing bus to see many of the other attractions in the city which I am excited to see as well.
