On the 22nd I returned from a trip to Germany to visit my brother who is studying over there. During the trip we visited the capital of Germany, Berlin, and this photo shows me standing next to a piece of the famous Berlin Wall, situated in Potsdamer Platz:
So thus begins the challenge to visit every European capital city.
Task #67 - Begun!
Whilst in Germany, I stayed with my brother in a little town called Jena in the old East Germany. Whilst there I noticed that the little green man used to signal when people could cross the road was different to that in the UK. This picture shows what it looks like:
I found it amusing that the green crossing man was wearing a little hat. Then, when we visited Berlin I saw much more of the wee man. All credit to the Germans, they know when they are on to a winner, and sure enough the little guy was popping up on mugs and T-Shirts in all of the tourist shops. I saw this in one of the shops and had to have it as a reminder:
It was when I returned to the hotel that it occured to me that this little man could be the beginning of my pointless collection of a keyring from each European capital city.
Task #17 - Begun!

Congrats! Getting the motivation to start things is often the hardest part. Did you enjoy your trip to Berlin?
ReplyDeleteI love the key chain guy too haha. He's so weird looking, and keychains are a great momento of where you've traveled, I think that's a rad idea.
Yeh I absolutely loved Berlin. Got to see a lot but was soooo tired after 3 days. We then went onto Munich for a few days so at the end of the week I was nackered!
