Schlesisches Tor, my Berlin basecamp

Welcome to Kreuzberg, berlin punk-hip-hop-street-art district

 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kreuzberg#Culture

To be even more precise :

nicknamed "Schlesi"

The part of Xberg that remains "raw and uncut"

My WG (shared flat) in Cuvrystrasse :my flatmate Matthias, the architect student decorated with a cool large scale picture from "Darjeeling eXpress"

Xberg is the street artist's heaven.

Here you can find the largest blank canvas ....

3°

or more...

 Want to see Xberg ? Take the u-bahn U1 from Hallesches Tor to Warschauer strasse

In the u-bahn, you can meet friendly and thirsty Germans

In Est Xberg, called Xberg 36,  the Turkish population used to be dominant. That is why you find the best Döner Kebab in Berlin in Kottbusser TOr  (according to a Turkish friend):

 The best traditional CurryWurst is in here :

It looks like an ordinary curry wurst

but still people (young, old, business men, construction workers, punks, tourists) queue up day and night to have it down their stomac.

Man, Berin has so much to offer... 

Keep your eyes open... Both of them
