To enjoy the rainbow, first enjoy the rain

Iako su najavljivali puno kišovitih dana u Berlinu, samo je jedan bio takav, ali nije mnogo smetalo da bude savršen. Počeo je obilaskom Berlinskog zida. Da li ste znali da su prvi evropski grafiti nastali početkom osamdesetih i to ni manje ni više nego na Berlinskom zidu, a njima su (umetnici) skretali pažnju građanima podeljenog grada na njihove svakodnevne probleme, kao i na one globalne. Tako su grafiti prvi put iskorišćeni u propagandne svrhe čiji je cilj bio ponovno ujedinjenje Nemačkog naroda, što se nekih desetak godina kasnije i dogodilo kada je srušen Berlinski zid.

Predah u Indijskom restoranu, a onda oduševljenje što radnja u blizini radi, iako je nedelja. Potpuno autentičan butik sa ručno rađenim torbama i nakitom, uz retro notu koju su mu dale gramofon i stari fotoaparati me je zaista oduševio. Berlin je definitivno raj za hipstere!:)

Although they announced a lot of rainy days in Berlin, only one was like that, but nevertheless, it was a perfect day. The Berlin wall certainly looks diferently than I have imagined it! 

The Berlin Wall was the physical division between West Berlin and East Germany. However, it was also the symbolic boundary between democracy and Communism during the Cold War. 

In Berlin, at the beginning of the early 80s wall painting wasn’t allowed on the territory of East Berlin, but opposite on the Western side lots of artists begun with graffiti.

So many artists were painted graffiti on the Berlin’s wall. Actually, the wall art/graffiti was not threatened, from the reason of that everybody could paint on the wall. There is an extraordinary symbolical meaning that on the Western side of the Berlin the Wall was colorfully painted although the Eastern side the wall was painted white or grey color.

After walk by the wall, we went to the Indian restaurant, and after that we saw amazing store. Completely authentic boutique with handmade bags and jewelry, along with  record player and old cameras, which gave it a retro touch, I was really impressed. Berlin is definitely a hipster's paradise :)
