Glad you enjoyed your trip to my home country. If you come back, I suggest you visit Dresden. In my opinion, it is the most beautiful city in Germany (out of the bigger ones). Hamburg and Berlin are very "western", in terms of culture and architecture. Dresden was rebuilt quite well after the second world war, so it is worth checking out the old town. But you also have incredible nature all around Dresden. I love it and live here since I was born :D
Really enjoyed reading the article.
Thank you! Yes, I did get a feeling that Berlin was definitely westernized. It seemed like a hub for international business affairs. I would love to visit Dresden. I wouldn't mind spending a month in Germany to really explore it in-depth.
