Day 1 - Polka dancing


Berliners have this odd scene we found out to be very typical for a summer hang out. Along all of the riverways in the city, there are these "beach bars". At this particular one, they set up a platform and there was polka music playing and people dancing to it. It was fun to watch. We didn't join in, we just enjoyed our beers. :) I have been told that the beach bars are because Berliners don't really have a beach anywhere near by, so they created these places where they put down some sand by the river and some beach chairs about and try to simulate them in the city.
