Possibly the best flea market I've ever been to period.
The entrance. It went on for forever
If you went outside the park, you actually hit a park, and part of the Berlin wall.
Lots of delicious energy too.
Or rather... lots of delicious!
Yummers- I'm gonna try to make this at home.

After the flohmarkt, I went to the East Side Gallery, which was opened in around 1990. It's actually a kilometer or so long stretch of the Berlin wall, and they invited artists to come paint it. Essentially, it served as a perfect huge urban canvas. Here's some favs:
They liked Tromp d'oeil on the original wall, and so they used that again on the East Side Gallery wall.
Not sure what it says in Russian, but in German, it says:
"My God. Help me to survive this deadly love."
Self explanatory.
No idea, but it looked cool.

Near the "entrance", or rather, start, of the East Side Gallery, there was an art sale, with a huge canvas stretched down the middle, with free paint.
Nerd alert.
Mama, I'm in BERLIN!"
Then, I found myself in Alexanderplatz, where there was a fair of some sort. I actually was going back home, when I saw this from the S-Bahn and couldn't resist.
That's a guy's legs, and his torso is actually the woman's bottom half, and his arms, her legs.
Why was this missing from my childhood?
Eiermann. (literally, Egg man... but that can also be a last name)
Eggs were just one of many things balanced on top of his head.
Finally, I visited a memorial that we were supposed to visit for a paper we have to write later. We actually saw this on the 3rd or 4th day, when we were doing our bike tour, but I didn't post any photos of it now. The second time, I didn't take pictures... so here's my old ones!
It's a very interesting museum- if you want, you could probalby spend a couple of hours standing there, reading over people's life stories, quotes from letters/notebooks/memoirs, etc, and learning about the history.

Memorial for the murdered Jews of Europe
They're all on different levels, so when you walk in, you can get a little lost
