>>  RYAN: Today I'm going to go for a little joyride on the city streets of Berlin learn a little bit about the history
and my buddy Sam is going to show me all around the city let's do it
right now we're at Potsdamer Platz you've got these very very new modern buildings
these were all built in the early 2000's and this is basically meant to be a brand new center of Berlin
this is so cool they have like a little outdoor library right here and all these pillows and hammocks
where you can get cozy and read a book
I love outdoor libraries
awesome the best way to see Berlin is by bicycle for sure
I'm standing in front of the Parliament building now
and this is the exact spot where the Soviet flag was raised at the end of the war
to symbolize the fall of Berlin
So we're here at the Brandenburg Gate
and this gate was originally part of the city customs wall that encircled Berlin in 1730
I had the most magnificent bike tour and I absolutely reccomend it to everybody
this is the infamous Berlin Wall in 1989 everyone knows that it collapsed
but it wasn't just the collapse of the Berlin Wall it also was the collapse of the Iron Curtain
and the end of the Cold War
I'm standing in front of Checkpoint Charlie
and in 1961 this is where the nuclear war almost began there were ten American tanks on one side
ten Soviet tanks on the other both pointing at each other but luckily nuclear war was averted
so we've been touring this city for about two hours on bikes we've burned a lot of calories
we need to get them back how do we do that?
 >> Sam: Beer.
 >> Ryan:Beer. Let's go to the Beer Garden.
