Buff! Another fantastic shot,
the preconceived image I have of most of the people of east germany
(I am sure that a mistaken) is very similar at the latest photos, (sorry for that if it is offensive I know in Berlin are absolutely all kind of people like in Barcelona, cosmopolitan and open mind citys).

@Oscar: hey oscar. thanks for your comment. what in particular matches your preconceived image of eastern germany people here? (no worry, neither i nor the woman in the pic will take any offence being labeled "east-german". though in fact her appearance is quite uncommon around here. - most folks in "the east" look (and are) rather boring and kind of conservative. but you are right if you aim at the trend for piercing and tattooing - though this is an "all-german plague" nothing specifically east-german.)

Thanks for your response and for your clarification.
Maybe I was wrong in commenting about East Germany, when I referred to Berlin
that I 've the feeling that it is a modern and cosmopolitan city, with quite "liberal thiking" and underground movement, thought logically there will be all kind of people like you said. I think I'll have to go to see it with my eyes.
Ahh, and here in Barcelona also exists that plague of tattoos and piercings, I think that is another of those global situations, sik!
greetings
