Spaltungsirresein

A certain feeling of schizophrenia should be expected by those wishing to live the exciting lifestyle of ‘intern by day, tourist after 17:00.’ Though there are definitely advantages and disadvantages of living this complicated routine, I find it to be very rewarding. One of the hardest parts of being a tourist only at nights and on the weekends is that pretty much everything interesting shuts down at 6:00 – that’s all of the museums, the cool little shops, and even the trains stop running as frequently. So all that is left is stuff that’s outside.. that and the bars, which I try to avoid in general. But because everyone has gone to bed or whatever, there are no crowds at the cool stuff. Take, for example, the Berlin Wall. Normally, there would be no way for me to get a clean shot of the wall without anyone standing in my way.. However, late at night, after the internship is over, it’s the perfect time. And that is why I have lots of pictures of sunsets and other things in the dark.
Anyway, this is one of the last remaining chunks of the Berlin Wall. Assumedly, long-armed entrepreneurs have chipped off all of the painted parts of the wall, and with everyone wanting a piece of the wall, there’s not much left. But it was still pretty impressive.
