WAIPA IN REAL LIFE: WALKING AROUND BERLIN FOR SOME SIGHT-SEEING

MY INTRO

ALOHA AND WELCOME TO MY PERSONAL BLOG!!! I THOUGHT WHY NOT SHARE MY PERSONAL GAINS & STRUGGLES THAT LIFE PUTS OUT TO EACH AND ONE OF US. I FEEL THAT THROUGH THE GIFT OF "GIVING & SHARING", THERE IS NO WAY BETTER THAN START THIS BLOG WHICH IS ALL ABOUT ME, MY OHANA (FAMILY), HOALOHA (FRIENDS), AND EVEN ENEMIES WHICH ARE THE VERY ONES I NEED TO LOVE AND ACCEPT.

I'LL SAY THIS STRAIGHT UP, I DON'T HOLD BACK MY FEELINGS FOR ANYONE AND IT'LL COME OUT OF MY MOUTH ON HOW I FEEL ABOUT YOU AND OTHERS. I DON'T GO BEHIND ANYONE'S BACK AND START RUMOURS WITH HOPES THAT IT WILL CIRCLE AROUND AND FINALLY HIT ITS TARGET. WHY TAKE THE LONG ROUTE WHEN I CAN GO STRAIGHT TO THE POINT. PERSONALLY, I THINK THAT IS THE "REAL" WAY OF LIVING LIFE, "BE REAL" AT ALL TIMES EVEN WHEN THE WORLD IS WATCHING.

ON THE OTHER NOTE, "I AM" THE MOST BEAUTIFUL PERSON IN THE WHOLE UNIVERSE FROM THE WAY "I SEE IT". I AM NOT SPEAKING FROM OTHER PEOPLE'S FEEDBACK OR "CONCEITEDNESS". "THIS IS" WHAT I CHOOSE TO SEE MYSELF EVERYDAY WHEN I WAKE UP FROM MY BED AND THANK "AKUA" (GOD) FOR GIVING ME ONE MORE DAY TO LIVE, REGARDLESS OF REGRETS FROM THE "YESTERDAYS" TO THE FEARS OF "TOMMOROWS".

IN MY EYES, LIVING A "BEAUTIFUL LIFE" CAN ONLY BE ATTAINED BY "CHOICE" AND IT REQUIRES "INTEGRITY", "HONESTY", "UNCONDITIONAL ACCEPTANCE", "FORGIVENESS" AND MOST IMPORTANTLY, "LOVE".

AS MY BEAUTIFUL ANCESTORS HAVED ALWAYS BELIEVED:

'Ike aku, 'ike mai, kokua aku kokua mai; pela iho la ka nohana 'ohana.

WHICH MEANS, RECOGNIZE OTHERS, BE RECOGNIZED, HELP OTHERS, BE HELPED; SUCH IS A FAMILY RELATIONSHIP.

SO ONCE AGAIN, "WELCOME TO MY BEAUTIFUL LIFE!!!"

AWWWRITE!!!

WALKING AROUND BERLIN FOR SOME SIGHT-SEEING - 2019

ALOHA EVERYONE!!!

I WAS SO HUNGOVER THE NIGHT BEFORE THAT I SLEPT THE ENTIRE DAY, IN OTHER WORDS I WASTED AN ENTIRE DAY SLEEPING!!!

AND WHEN I DID WAKE UP, I WAS HUNGRY AND I NEEDED FOOD REAL BAD!!!

I REMEMBER SEEING SEVERAL RESTAURANTS ALONG THE STREET WHERE MY HOTEL IS LOCATED.

SO WE CAME ACROSS A GREEK RESTAURANT,

"JA NIKO JA"

LINK--->JA NIKO JA

IT LOOKED EMPTY WHICH WAS IN MY FAVOR AS I WAS STILL HUNGOVER BUT NOT AS BAD.

AS SOON AS WE WERE SEATED WE BOTH WERE IMMEDIATELY SERVED A SHOT OF OUZO FROM THE START!!! ALL OF A SUDDEN MY HANGOVER DISAPPEARED AND I ORDERED A BEER!!! THE MENU WAS HUGE AND SO HARD TO CHOOSE FROM BECAUSE EVERYTHING LOOKED SO YUMMY, SO WE ORDERED AN APPETIZER AND SALAD TO SHARE AND 2 MAIN DISHES FOR OURSELVES.

EVERYTHING WE ORDERED WAS FANTASTIC!!! AND WE HAD NO IDEA ABOUT THEIR HUGE PORTIONS EITHER BECAUSE IF WE DID, WE WOULD NOT HAVE ORDERED THIS MUCH, THANK GOD OUR HOTEL IS RIGHT NEXT DOOR AND WE CAN PACK UP THE LEFTOVERS TO GO.

AND THEN WE GET HIT WITH DESSERTS... UGHHH!!! WE ORDERED FIGS WITH WARM SWEET CREAM AND FRESH MANDARINS. AND THEN WE WERE DONE AND READY FOR THE COUNT. SO AFTER WE PAID FOR OUR BILL, WE ARE SERVED ANOTHER DISH OF FRESH SLICED APPLES AND TWO MORE SHOTS OF OUZO!!!😲😲😲😲😲

AND OUR AWESOME WAITER HAD A SHOT OF HIS OWN TO JOIN WITH US AND THANKING US FOR COMING.

(THE FOUR SHOTS OF OUZO AND SLICED APPLES WAS FREE OF CHARGE!!!)

I SIMPLY SAID TO HIM, I'LL BE BACK BEFORE I DEPART FROM BERLIN!!!

IT WAS GETTING LATE AND WE PLANNED A WHOLE DAY OF WALKING THE FOLLOWING DAY TO GO SIGHTSEEING AROUND CENTRAL BERLIN.

BUT WE HAD TO CATCH THE NFL PLAYOFFS BEFORE BEDTIME!!!

SNOOPY LOVES SPORTS!!!

OKAY ITS EARLY IN THE MORNING AND I'M AWAKE AND READY FOR TODAY TO GO SIGHTSEEING!!!

BEHIND ME IS "VICTORY COLUMN"

LINK--->VICTORY COLUMN IN BERLIN, GERMANY

AND YOU KNOW ME, I JUST HAD TO GO UP TO THE TOP AND ENJOY THE VIEWS!!! IT WAS CLOUDY BUT AT THE SAME TIME IT WAS BEAUTIFUL TO SEE BERLIN FROM THIS PERSPECTIVE.

OUR NEXT STOP IS THE,

"SOVIET WAR MEMORIAL TIERGARTEN"

LINK--->SOVIET WAR MEMORIAL TIERGARTEN

THIS PLACE TOUCHED ME DEEPLY AS I READ ABOUT THE HISTORY BEHIND THIS MEMORIAL.

I ALSO LOVE THIS PANORAMA VIEW SHOT BECAUSE AT ONE END OF THE PIC YOU CAN SEE THE BEAUTIFUL BLUE SKY!!!

MORE BEAUTIFUL SHOTS TAKEN FROM THE TIERGARTEN PARK.

NEXT STOP...

BRANDENBURG GATE!!!

LINK--->BRANDENBURG GATE

THE HISTORY OF WARS AND SEPARATIONS THAT BERLIN ENDURED IS BY FAR INCOMPREHENSIBLE AND DIFFICULT TO IMAGINE UNLESS YOU WERE THERE DURING IT TIMES OF CHALLENGES.

SNACK TIME!!!

A VERY POPULAR QUICK FOOD EATS CALLED THE "CURRYWURST", BASICALLY ITS A BRATWURST SAUSAGE BOILED FIRST AND THEN FRIED JUST BEFORE SERVING AND TOPPED WITH KETCUP AND CURRY SEASONING WITH A SIDE BREAD OR FRIES. ITS REALLY SIMPLE TO MAKE AND YET SO YUMMY, YOU CAN MAKE THIS ANYWHERE AT HOME, SIMPLY BUY A PACK OF BRATWURSTS, ADD KETCUP AND SPRINKLE CURRY POWDER, THATS IT!!!

NEXT STOP...
