On our recent trip to Berlin, I’ve noticed that most of their historic and important structures are undergoing renovations. One of which is the Alte National Galerie. It’s good that they maintain these architectural icons of the city coz some of them are really in bad shape. But visiting the Charlottenburg Palace, its right wing was quite a disappointment to us especially that we rested on one of the benches there and the view wasn’t that appealing. On that side, there’s a wide open space with grasses but there was lack of plants and flowers. It’s summer time and there are many pretty flowers that they could have adorned that specific space to make it attractive. It badly calls for a landscaping job!

I’m not sure if in Germany they have this online directory listing of different services, but in the US, clients can easily locate landscapers with the help of Clicksmart directory. They have a comprehensive listing of all landscapers throughout the country. Should one need a dallas landscaping or Raleigh landscaping, all they do is browse by state and Clicksmart will locate one for them. It’s a good way to quickly find help when you need one.
Anyway, we still enjoyed our visit to Berlin and I was personally awed by their wide sidewalks especially in the tourists’ areas, which we don’t have in Prague.

The wide sidewalks are some type of Germanic style. You’ll see them in Vienna as well, but not in the smaller cities (except for Munich, Stuttgart & a few others).
