sneak Posted March 9, 2010 Share Posted March 9, 2010 Hello Everyone…hopefully the thread title should be descriptive enough to let you know whats going on…. I went to Berlin recently for a long weekend. First time there since I was 17 and was nothing like I remembered. Anyhow, here’s some shots from that very very cold weekend… This you tube link is to a song that I was bumping a lot, and is very suited. So here we go…complete with straight to the point commentary ala Sneak. 4am Saturday and its so early I cant focus properly. Airport breakfasts… I was proper organised for this trip, note: folder of information and important documents, croissants, something to read and protective cover for shiny new phone. Hello. Sitting on a bus from terminal to plane. Still too early to take decent flicks. What was essentially a giant, orange, cattle pen. I always find these photo’s pretty inspiring…what with the clouds and all. lots more to come... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneak Posted March 9, 2010 Author Share Posted March 9, 2010 Arrival in Berlin Get the subway to the hotel and from there first port of call is Overkill Graffiti shop. What really surprised me was how ghetto looking Berlin is. I mean, shit I was staying in a 4* hotel which was slap bang in between bombed out vacant lots and pretty grim looking tower blocks. Plus, the graffiti! Fuck…its everywhere…Maybe its coming from the city with the most CCTV camera’s in the world but I couldn’t believe the amount of full on throwups / pieces / rooftops / rollers / tags on the streets. This is a selection of what I saw on my walk to the graff shop. King Akt, one of only 2 Fellow Londoners I saw.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneak Posted March 9, 2010 Author Share Posted March 9, 2010 you tube link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=crSUniYoQns Once we got the obligatory visit to the graff shop out the way, we stumbled on the “East Side Gallery”, which from what I could make out was one of the few stretches of the original Berlin wall left and it had been turned into a open air art gallery… Pretty cool, original bit of wall with original bit of graffiti on it.. More graffiti… More ghetto-y-ness. The Berlin Tv tower in the distance. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneak Posted March 9, 2010 Author Share Posted March 9, 2010 It was absolutely freezing throughout the entire weekend, and we were feeling it so popped in to a shopping centre. Turns out German ones look the same as Brit ones. The first of many. Those who see my Days In Pies pics will recognise these shots hahaha Alexanderplatz Train Station Tv tower up close 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneak Posted March 9, 2010 Author Share Posted March 9, 2010 Indulge in a bit of daylight, street bombing…well I was on holiday. Anyway I can also report back that the new German Montana Black cans are quite nice. Back at the hotel and I attempt to make white my trainers. They were box fresh when I stepped off the plane and within hours were covered in crap. My companion has a coffee to wake up. Not pictured, my beer. Head out and about again. Stumble upon hemp museum and check it out… Not sure what this building is but I took a flick anyway Later on in the evening head out for some food Interesting deer meat dish but not what I was feeling. Shared antipasta platter sort of thing as starters. More drink Bonus flick for this section. Doing drunken street dubs I asked my friend to take a flick of me in front of the piece. We got chased and she managed to snap this off as I sprinted off… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sneak Posted March 9, 2010 Author Share Posted March 9, 2010 you tube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U6kj9XE88z0 Wake up next day with a pretty heavy head. Wanted to use up what paint I had at one of Berlins HOF’s. Hardcore actionzzzz shot, taken shortly before my “Pissed off / Lacking arrows / Fucking freezing / not finished / blocked caps / impatient lady friend / more excuses / contemplating giving up“ moment.. MMMMmmm drips. Not. Found an American style burger bar / restaurant called The Bird. Was really nice and warm, served good food and had good beer. Fit waitress too… Did lots of walking and drinking. Here are some random flicks I snapped… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sneak Posted March 9, 2010 Author Share Posted March 9, 2010 you tube More late night walking around drunk shots. Working out where the fuck we were… Hello again. This time wrapped up a lot warmer but not quite warm enough. The end result of 2 things: a) I cant skip when pissed, and b) pavements are unforgiving.

sneak Posted March 9, 2010 Author Share Posted March 9, 2010 More late night drinking. Lots of shots, so forgive the blurriness, but just think at least your seeing it through the same eyes I was at the time. Woke up the next morning with the worst hangover ever. Even forcing a cup of tea down my neck was a hard task This might have been a church of some sort, but I was too hungover to care. Russian Embassy. Cathedral Close up The Reichstag Brandenberg Gate Holocaust memorial…apparently the anti graffiti paint used on the stones was made by a sister company of the people who made the gas used in the chambers on the Jews. Caused an uproar apparently. Organise my shit and head home. Not many flicks of this part. The End. Hope you enjoyed it…. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
