We never reached at Germany before. This trip was for our rest and to release tension. The ticket price are about RM 3547 for each one of us. From the airport, we rushed to the Berlin Express train to go the our exactly place for vacation. It took 4 hours and 15 minutes to reach at Berlin, the train reaching about 180 miles/hour (There is an announcement on the PA system when this happen. It was in English! Thank to Allah. ) Then, we went to the hotel that we gonna to stay named Andel’s Berlin Hotel. It cost 890 Efuro one night in a room that can be described as a suite.

Izzauddyn looks like the hyperactive one. He the one who wake up Amirul Hasan and I. I look at the watch. Then I screamed, “Aarrgghh, we late to going to school.Its 8 a.m.” Then Hasan said, “Are you crazy? We are on December and in a vacation”. Wow, cannot believe my face going to reddish! Half an hour then, we got down to the cafe nearest to the hotel’s lobby to get breakfast. In the cafe, I was the silent one because the incident in the room just now. In the first day,we just planned to meet our travel guide and told him to start his job tomorrow. Today we just planned to walk around the street only to enjoy the sight seeing. We catched some memorable picture.

The second day, we decided to visit The Television Tower nearest  Alexanderplatz Bus Station. It was the tallest building in Berlin and the most prominent structure, visible from many parts of the city. The entrance fee was only 8 euro ( RM 32 ) for adult and 3.50 euro for children and open at 10.00 a.m - midnight. We also got chance to have our lunch on the height of 207 metres.  Then, our travel guide took we to the lake. Its cooled being there because in Berlin it was a winter season. Carefully we walked through the slippery road. Suddenly we laughed. Amirul and Izzauddyn were fell down. After enjoy our scenery at the lake, we went to our hotel.

After had our breakfast at the hotel’s cafe, we went to our next destination. We went to the Tiergarten. It was an animal garden. Tiergarten literally means “animal garden” and in many German cities Tiergarten means the zoo. While walked around, we saw many wildlife such as rabbit, fox and also deer. The managers said, long time ago this place was known as a hunting park. Then the government made this place as the wildlife home. Spent about 2 hours in there, Izzauddyn planned to go shopping. It was a great idea.We also saw peoples celebrating Christmas. Our vision in Berlin not just visit some places, but enjoying shopping.  But, the travel guide said it will be a bad weather coming. He advised us to go back to the hotel first and got some rest. We felt sad but happy. At the late evening, its true we looked at the window and we saw a small winter storm.

We wake up late at 12 noon. I looked at my handphone and I shocked. 29 missed called from our travel guide. 15 minutes later, we got down to the lobby and saw our travel guide. We said our sorry to him. Today we just planned to walk around and shopping. We walked at the Kurfurstendamm or simply Ku’damm is Berlin’s most well-known shopping street. Stretching for 3.5 km westward from the Memorial Church, it was a wide boulevard flanked by shops, hotels, and restaurants. I said “ don’t worry guys, shopping as many you want, I pay for it.” Amirul slap my head and said “ stop dreaming. Don’t forgot that we went to Berlin with our own budget. You just paid the ticket for the flight.” Then we laughed. At the night, we arrived at the hotel. The most enjoyable one was Izzauddyn. He the most shopping one compared us. Tired on shopping, we felt slept.

We started our day after prayed together. Then we continued our quick slept. After that, we decided to go to the Federal Chancellary building the official residence Germany’s Cancellor ( Prime Minister ). The building was designed by architect Axel Schultes and the largest governmental headquartes in the world. Then we went to our last destination The Brandenburg Gate located on the western edge of Pariser Platz just the inside of the former East Berlin. It was the potent symbol of Berlin’s division. We spent 1 hour walked around the gate.

 We started our last vacation by packing up our stuff. It was being the best experience by travelling  overseas. We felt sad to leave this cities but we must go. The most touched our heart was, our travel guide accompanied us to the airport. Before depart to KLIA, we say our thank and gave him some present to him. I told to him, someday we will reach at this city again. Then we spent 12 hours to reach at Malaysia.
