Berlin Dome

                  the Berlin Cathedral Church - the Protestant church

It is located on Museum Island in the Mitte borough.

The Berlin Cathedral has never been a cathedral in the actual sense of that term since it has never been the seat of a bishop, which is very ironic.

Monday through Saturday	09.00 am - 8.00 pm

From October 1st through March 31st, closing at 7 pm 7 euros for admission

There is the Radisson Blu hotel next to the Berlin Dome.

People are enjoying the sunshine.

I totally understand people are addicted to the Sun after I knew it is not easy  to see the Sun  in Germany.

Right before the entrance

 You can take the stairs to go up. 

 I  could see the Martin  Luther on the wall  who I learned only from social studies books in my junior years.

Martin Luther was a German professor of theology, composer, priest, monk^[2] and a seminal figure in the Protestant Reformation. Luther came to reject several teachings and practices of the Roman Catholic Church. He strongly disputed the claim that freedom from God's punishment for sin could be purchased with money, proposing an academic discussion of the practice and efficacy of indulgences in his Ninety-five Theses of 1517

I guessed this might  be one of the reason why I found fewer Cathedral in Germany. 

We could see the beautiful landscape of the city on the top of the building. (Actually it was not technically top floor, but it was  the highest place where we could go by stairs.

One of different thing  I found from Germany is that they use glass for coffee .

We always use coffee cups in Korea.

Bikini Berlin

 Bikini Berlin ; Berlin's Concept Shopping mall

I love this unique and modern place.

The mall's rooftop terrace offers cozy seats to rest and nice view.

We could see monkeys.

People were watching the monkeys along the wall.

 A sort of like music event was happening.

People looked  happy and had a leisurely evening. We wanted to be a part of it.

The mall was offering a place to take a sit. You can use a colorful cushions and see  monkeys out of the window.

The shopping mall has supermarket Kaiser's.

     I love this street.

         I wish my country would have this kind of outdoor dining more, instead of letting cars pass.

             The burger was not good, but I enjoyed the peaceful vibe of the street.
