Streets of Berlin

Yo. So its been a minute seen my last post, 24 days to be exact. So needless to say i failed dismally on the blogathon challenge to post everyday in the month of May. I tried. So Im in Prague, sitting in the hotel bar, well, actually its a hostel bar but this place feels like a 4 star hotel just without room service (Czechinn - stay here if you ever decide to visit).

The post is titled "Streets of Berlin" because we were there for a week before taking the dopest 6 hour train through the beautiful German countryside to Prague and i have decided to blog about each destination post the experience. Its my way of journaling the experience, my album if you will.

I see the world primarily from a design viewpoint so as i travel through Europe design is what grabs me in all its forms be it graffiti, architecture, fassion and even things as simple as signage.

This is the first time Im in Europe and Im like Jim comes to Joburg, Im walking around like a tourist, eyes wide open, head in the sky, camera in my hand and Im loving it.

Berlin was dope. I could live here for a couple of years. The place is at the forefront of design in every way, the graffiti is hot and embraced by the the people, it gives the slick neighborhoods an edge and it is provocative. Fashion is easy living chic, people are dressed to the nines but you can see that comfort and personality comes first - everyone has a signature. Architecture, very interesting.
