Great vids. I'm a gringo living in Brazil and started watching because of your Rio favela video. Now I'm watching all of em. Great stuff, many blessings and keep up the good work 👍

being from Berlin it makes me furios that we still have the same construction site at the intersection of Platz der Luftbrücke two years after this video. (and already one year before that)
I'm from Portugal, I used to think Portuguese were the masters of having public temporary constructions lasting for years... Until I lived in Berlin. 😂 I give you the medal.
I watched an episode of “Man In The High Castle” last night, Templehof Airport was recreated in 3D, it looked amazing and the detailed matched right down to the surrounding landscape.
I would call this video "A ride and visit to the world's longest abandoned airport" I believe that's a good title to your video. Greetings from Colombia!
Tempelhof is not abandoned at all... The airport building is still being used for various events, the docking gate area is also used for huge events like Lolapalooza, Formula E races etc.! The main runways are open to the public - why should they be taken care of? Nature takes its space back and that's good. Now, there is a skatepark, an urban gardening section, a bar, a few kiosks, a bike rental shop, etc. - far from being abandoned. Tip: Take a tour through the building AND the basements.
@@artificiallyunintelligent4537 It is a closed airport - but please look up the word "abandoned" - because Tempelhof is now more frequented than when it was operated as an airport.
My thoughts exactly, I used to live in Berlin when my dad was stationed at Tempelhof. Looking at the condition of what they're calling a "park", which is basically just the runway and the fields around it, where nature is reclaiming it, seems like the money was wasted. I'm assuming the money went not to the park, but some pavilion stuff in the buildings that they use for events.
If you’re from Germany and read this I just want you to know that I like where your country is at today, even if you don’t. I hope to visit sometime in the near future! :) 🇺🇸❤️🇩🇪
I worked there as a High Schooler in 1990. Every morning I got of the U-Bahnhof that you passed at around the 1:45 mark. Love your videos! Id love to see some footage of the area around U-Bahnhof Oskar Helene Heim and near Wilma Rudolph Oberschule, which is where I went to school when it was known as Berlin American High School.
I flew from there to Nuremberg in 1997 - it was really a cool atmosphere. We were also in the small restsurant there with a fantastic view on the airplanes...
