She fumbles nervously with the loose fabric as she vomits unknown lyrics to giggling onlookers, her gaze cast away from the judging eyes of the public. Nothing she does impresses as the crowd begin to cackle and boo in a comical fashion.

Towering behind the grass-covered amphitheatre, the remains of the Berlin Wall peer down over Mauer park’s wannabe pop stars strutting to an imaginry beat.

The infamous flea market pulls in international tourists for its eclectic mix of odd and ends, it’s a visual marvel just to sit and quietly observe the tattoos and foods and vinyl and colours mixing en-masse, occasionally interrupted by squeals of dismay emanating from inside the Bear Pit.
