If I were a green, big-eyed extraterrestrial

Random ramble, World | Tags: , ,

A few days ago I went to Berlin. I had the chance to go around the city, and one of Berlin’s attractions is the Sony center. It has restaurants and coffee shops, a cinema museum and a cinema to name but a few things you can do around there. In the middle it has a mini-garden, and around it something like a huge bench where you can sit. Naturally, it was full with people. Tourists taking a break and some photos, but also Berliners meeting with their friends and hanging around there.

That was the first day. Then, the next day and for the three of four following days, things changed. A huge red carpet arrived, they put fence all over it, covering also the big bench, and in the middle of it all they built a stage.

Now there was a big banner outside the cinema, and it advertised the Transformers movie. I thought this might have to do with the stage and carpet, but I was not sure.

As days went by, the fence was becoming annoying, because this is a pretty popular place, lots of people were coming and going, and I thought that whatever this event is about, it was not really worth it.

I left Berlin at the 14th of June, so today, two days later, I thought I might check what this was all about. And I found this video.
