Am in the Berlin Tiergarten now. How can a place like this exist inside the surrounding industrial wasteland? Beautiful willows beside ponds. I'm laying under a birch tree. A dog has just jumped into the pond, paddled around ineffectually, worried the duck community. Peaceful. But not representative of Berlin, I'm afraid, so I've got to move on.
