To break the monotony of winter in Toronto, I spent a few days in Berlin last week, and although most of my time was spent inside bars and clubs catching up with old friends, I did manage to do a wee bit of sight seeing as well. One of the more fascinating and beautiful places of interest for me is located deep in East Berlin at Treptower Park – the Soviet War Memorial, which was completed in 1949 to commemorate the Soviet soldiers who fell during the Battle of Berlin in 1945.
Bonus: a new science museum/information centre next to the Canadian Embassy at Leipziger Platz:
