Hi!
Flat Stanley has toured Berlin, the capital of Germany, in Europe!
Until
about 30 years ago, the city of Berlin was divided into two smaller
cities: West Berlin and East Berlin. There was a wall that cut through
the city, and police would check that nobody went from one side to the
other. It was very sad. But one day the wall was knocked down, and now
there is only one Berlin!Flat Stanley has toured Berlin, the capital of Germany, in Europe!

Form Alexanderplatz I have walked along a tree-lined avenue called
"Unter den Linden", which means "Under the linden trees". In picture 4
you can see a coach taking tourists around the city center.

Unter den Linden is 3 kilometers (more than 9800 feet) long, and it runs from Alexanderplatz to the "Brandenburger Tor" (the "Brandenburg gate") which you can see with some difficulties in picture 5, right under the hand of the girl who was holding me (sorry, I was too tired to reach the gate!)

What did I tell you about the bears? Picture 7 shows a statue of a bear made of stone!
And then... more bears in picture 9! Aren't they cute, playing chess?

At last my day in Berlin was coming to
an end, and I got on the subway to go home. In picture 11 you see how comfortable I was on the seat!
My hosting family lives
near the Southern border of the city. It is very quiet there, and it was
nice to go there to rest after the long day spent walking through the
chaotic and noisy area of Alexanderplatz! Before reaching the house, you
have to walk along a short path that cuts through bushes, flowers and
trees (picture 12)
I was
finally home, and I was offered a typical German snack: a soft, warm,
big pretzel and a cold beer! There's a bear on the label, see? And the
brand is "Berliner Bären Bräu", which means: "the beer of the Berlin
bears"! What can I say? They really love their bears in this city! I
quite enjoyed my snack, as you can see in picture 14!
