Berlin

Brandenburger Tor & Siegessäule



Reichstag -- Government


The capital is the right place to get re-immersed into Germanness. Shocking how much people drink and smoke on the streets, make out in streetcars, swear and yell in public. -- Cheeky Germans. Rude? Direct.




be putz
be munter
be Berlin

"putzmunter" means "frisky", "vivid", "wide awake".
The English expression "Be Berlin" has been the slogan of an official city campaign. It has been coined by Klaus Wowereit who is know to be the capital's mayor. And a homosexual. Actually, most people only know about his sexual orientation and less about his position in politics.
