Bears of Berlin

So, there's something I haven't mentioned about Berlin. Aside from the impressive architecture, rich art scene, and cultural wealth, Berlin also has bears. In fact, they are crazy about bears, it's the city's mascot.

As such they are everywhere. Here is my chronicling of the bears of BEARlin (you see how that works?).
These are the official Berlin Bears, they are everywhere and decorated in various ways
In front of the Humbolt University library
In a mall, right outside a grocery store
In the VolksparkOn the street
On a bus
On Unter den Linden, the Pennsylvania Avenue of Germany
in Prenzlauer Berg, my neighborhood
In fancy Moabit, on a bridge
In Tiergarten

A fitting tribute to Berlin, the city that I'm leaving in about 4 days.
