Travel Haiku - Berlin (Germany) Poem by john tiong chunghoo

Berlin
the Wall falls to
bless our eyes

Berlin pulley
the Wall falls to lift the curtain
of an exciting heritage

20 years between them
fall of the Berlin Wall
and world economy

In this economy, you don't have to forgo that 'essential Europe' trip. Instead of forking over beaucoup Euros to stay in Paris, check out its scrappier counterpart to the east, where you'll be able to afford more than a cot at a hostel. David Bowie once called Berlin the 'greatest cultural extravaganza that one could imagine, ' and that still holds up today, with edgy young art and music scenes and lively nightlife. Picnic along the Spree, where remaining pieces of the Berlin Wall form a veritable art gallery, and toast to the 20 years since (most of) the wall fell.
