First few days in Berlin

Unfortunately, no, I did not get fish and chips in Heathrow. 11 pounds is way to much for something that used to live in the sea.
But enough about Britain, this is about Berlin. The capital of the motherland of my people. Do you feel the pride of German nationalism yet? I sure do. I must have seen my dad 3 or 4 times. Immediately, I could feel the cold hand of a former fascist state that terrorized the continent of Europe being replaced by the hand with a reach for the future. And there was no better way to descibe this other than the architecture built after the fall of the Berlin Wall.
Our first day took us through many of the government buildings along the River Spree. One of the first buildings we stumbled upon was the Government Chancellory. This building housed the Chancelor's Office and other government officials. Along axis with it were other government buildings that connected East and West Berlin and bridged the gap over the river. The majority of it looked very similar to a white version of the National Assembly Center designed by Louis Kahn in Bangladesh.
Another government building we saw was the Reichstag. Originally built in 1894, burned in 1933, and finally returned to the active seat of the German Parliament in 1999, it was redesigned by Norman Foster to restore the dome. It is an elegantly designed piece that serves as a beacon in the city. Norman Foster has done an excellent job with the renovation of the Reichstag.
