Berlin, a city of contrasts. A city of conflict, change, construction and power. Berlin has seen 4 periods of construction: as a center of medieval commerce, after WWI, after WWII and now, after the fall of the Berlin Wall, as old East Berlin ventures into modernization. Berlin is poised on the edge of becoming Europe's financial powerhouse, once again establishing itself as a kingdom of sorts. The rest of the world will have to wait to see whether this is a good thing.
