It occurs to me that my last post was a bit negative, so I thought in the interests of balance and since I actually am a very big fan of Berlin that I'd attach some pictures (all of them obtained from the internet) of some of the many recent buildings in Berlin that I actually do like, such as the Kudamm Eck, Galeries Lafayette, the Nordic Embassy, the Hauptbahnhof, Peek and Cloppenberg, as well as the courtyard of the Sony Center (despite my overall ambivalence about Potsdamer Platz), and the restored Hackescher Hof and Reichstag buildings. So I don't think it's ALL bad!
