As we tour around Berlin I couldn’t help to notice the architecture of the city, it’s hard to believe what the city has been through during World War II. Berlin has definitely move on from the times where it was divided into four sectors, each controlled by one of the Allied powers, Great Britain, France, the United States and the Soviet Union. It’s interesting to see how Berlin has managed to pick up the pieces and had moved forward into a beautiful and metropolitan city. Many people have decided to forgive and forget and had made Berlin one of the most amazing cities in Europe. I thought I was going to hear a lot more about Hitler but was surprised to see that the place where he died is now a parking lot
In terms of the media I’ve come to notice very creative advertisements especially in transportation places, such as the metro stations and buildings. Berlin is actually home of many television and radio stations; international, national as well as regional. It also has Germany's largest number of daily newspapers, with numerous local broadsheets (Berliner Morgenpost, Berliner Zeitung, Der Tagesspiegel), and three major tabloids, as well as national dailies of varying sizes, each with a different political affiliation. Even though product placement in Germany is illegal they manage to come with very creative ideas to do advertising. Such is the example of The German Talkmaster and TV-Entertainent Stefan Raab who has created a televised event and sponsoring platform of curious and crazy fun sport events.
