Berlin things that make you go hmmm....

That's his ARM... what were you thinking?

As we explored Berlin, we found a number of trendy areas, cool restaurants, and interesting historical sites.  But there were also PLENTY of things that just made you laugh, or shake your head... so without further ado, here's a few "Things that make you go HMMM" from Berlin.  Enjoy!

Tickets to the movies in Germany are all assigned seating, REGARDLESS of how many people are attending.  Case in point: our Berlin movie experience.  We caught a movie our first night - Quentin Tarrantino's "Inglorious Basterds" - which was ironically the same exact theatre that hosted the world premier, about Nazi Germany in WWII.  We watched the late show at 11pm, and there were only 4 people in the whole theatre... ALL SITTING SHOULDER TO SHOULDER!  Just when you thought it couldn't get worse, a 5th man joined the theatre, and get this, ACTUALLY ASKED CHRISTIE TO MOVE HER PURSE SO HE COULD SIT NEXT TO US... We're not sardines!  Scoot over! 

The American Section at KaDeWe store... Pop Tarts and BBQ Sauce, I love it!

The Berlin wall had lots of funny murals...

Japanese sector is a little further than the US and Soviets...

and the view can be a little hampered at times...

Now on to the economy...

Does this mean take it to a higher level or get rid of it forever?

Good ol' Socialism!  Such a happy utopia!

The TV tower in East Berlin went up just as crosses were being pulled from churches all over the city.  As an ironic twist, the reflection on the tower forms a cross that the Communists could not get rid of!  They call it, "Pope's Revenge!"

And in the fashion industry...

Leather pants are HOT...

But pink never goes out of style, does it Claudio?  SAC!
