His Holiness the Dalai Lama was in Berlin as the last stop of his visit to Germany this year.
25.000 people came to see & hear him speaking at the "Brandenburger Gate" which is one of Berlins most important symbols.
There was a lot of press folks roaming around but in contrast not a single member of the German Government .. the "Reichstag" (home of the parlament) is only 1minute away from the location.
Says a lot about the people there getting a thousands of Euro every month.
After Cancellor Merkel greeted him on his last visit and the Chinese Government almost freaked out it seems like the "important" people are afraid ...
The friendly security guys checked every single camera body ...
which could need quite some time ...
yeah, gimme me a serious expression ... it's a sin to smile as a security guy
dedicated to mr. cweeks ;)
before the arrival of the Lama .. don't know how long they've waited to "see" him ..
probably wasn't that easy with the press nerds standing in front of the actual audience.
"Gentleman, please start your engines" ... the Grand Prix of FTP'ing
well yeah, plenty of kids ...
and giant soap bubbles...
pure cuteness
there are plenty of more pictures (yeah, even from his holiness )... packed in a 2 minute slideshow.
cheers
