It was a six-hour train ride from Berlin to Munich. When we arrived in Munich I instantly noticed differences between the two cities. It is more common to use the tram in Munich rather than the subway, as it is common in Berlin. The tram reminded me of the met in Portland. Also, Berlin is extensively larger that Munich, which is know for being a large village. The population of Berlin is 3 million because of the reunification of the East and West Germany and Munich just has a population of 1 million. Yet one thing I enjoy about Berlin more than Munich is the street art, of which I see virtually none in Munich. I wonder why Berlin has more street art than Munich. Yet a positive of Munich is the diversity, of which Berlin lacks. One out of five people one sees in Munich is not German. This diversity, I believe, fosters a more accepting atmosphere.
