Berlin Germany
Avant-garde, innovative, experimental. Those are just some of the words that come to mind when the city of Berlin in Germany is mentioned. Berlin is the capital state of Germany, not to mention the largest city in terms of land area and population in the entire nation. Imagine a technologically, scientifically and economically advanced city populated by almost 82.5 million individuals, a relatively large number of which (around 16 million or more) are people of different nationalities and races coming from more than 180 other countries. In sort, Berlin is nothing sort of a historically, culturally and technologically advance hodgepodge of ideas, races, cultures and religion that characterizes it as one of the most attractive cities to visit and live in.
The large number and diversity of people in Berlin maybe attributed to its being a famous immigration destination. It is a very tolerant and open city where the individual's religious and political freedom are practiced with limited, almost none existent constraints. Even homosexuality and deviant sexual preferences receive more freedom and acceptance in Berlin than in many of the other cities in the world. Civil unions among same-sex partners is legal in Berlin as well as in most of the cities in Germany.
From music, fashion, film making, visual arts, history and festivals, Berlin is a city alive with culture and arts. Its entertainment and arts is as multifaceted and unique as its culture and history. Everything seems to be cutting edge when in Berlin--from expressionistic films and paintings, avant-garde art, hightech scientific ideas, ultramodern architecture, urban chic fashion, to a predominantly liberal, “Zeitgeist” mode of living, Berlin is where the new, the experimental and the original can be found.
However, Berlin is not simply a place to suite young, liberal, modern individuals. Berlin is a city full of contrasts, which surprisingly adds to its degree of attractiveness and distinctness. Whether you are young, old, female, male, homosexual, handicapped, single, married, divorced, separated, rich or poor, there is guaranteed to exist something in Berlin that would make you want to come and never ever leave.
This German capital city is home to thousands of historical, economic, cultural, social, scientific and political leaders and powers.
