Center of New Year's Eve

Berlin

OK, you knew that I joined with Michael to get here from Prague, with only 15 Euros. 

I had been told by a friend, that the best new year eve party is Berlin. You should and must be there for new year party, at least once. So, I planned and being enthusiastic go there and see what they have. I arrived on 30th December at 1900. And Andys, new friend with sophisticated internship experience in New York, waiting for me and let me stayed in his room for 2 nights. Thanks Andys, how nice you are, treated me like your old friend. 

So, on 31th of December, I tried to take some walk. I just remembered what Ibu Devi told me about Berlin as the Hitler History. So, here I went directly to a big street which you can see the changing from old area to new area. You knew this city, had been bombed and smashed by England and US. Here, you can see many modern buildings, seemed like Jakarta. Mall and Supermarket are everywhere. 

 I wont tell you much about this city, since I just had one motivation being here, new year's eve. Here are some pictures as souvenirs. 

Cathedral and the TV station 

Parliament Building, the modern dome were built after destroyed by bombs. 

We can see how the parliament members do their jobs here. 

 

Berlin Wall, still remained in some sites

 

OK, how special the new year's eve was here? What actually they had? You know what, if you imagine like they had a concert and fireworks, you can find those everywhere, even in Jakarta. But here, everyone, in New Year Eve, went to one spot, Brandenburger Tor. This is the symbol of Berlin. A meeting point for every single important activity, party, etc. So, I thought it was around 1 million people were there and drunk. Dont be scare if you found German walks bringing a bottle of beer. They love to do it. It's like a coca cola for them. You have to try being around those people just for one night. Amazing experience. 

More less the party was looked like this. 

So, with Michael, Adit, and some new friends, we were there. Drank our beers, yelled, toke some snaps for sure, laughed, talked, etc. No serious chat at all. Just being naughty without normal brain. Hahahaha. Yeah, at least, I can be like this once a year. When the time pointed 00:00, the fireworks shows were started, amazingly beautiful, around 15 minutes. After that music played the role. Dancing crazily. I was not there for long. At 01:00, I moved to take my luggage and went to central station waiting my early train at 08:00. I was afraid that  I wont be able to wake up in the morning. So I just stayed and waited in central station until the time. 

From here, I went to Delft Netherlands. The cost was only 29 Euros, I got special prize.
