FWTB Ep. 12 - The Great Berlin Food Fight - Wasserschlacht

Mayhem ensues when we visit the traditional food fight or Wasserschlacht at the Oberbaumbrücke which connects the two Berlin precincts Friedrichshain and Kreuzberg. They both fight each other each year. Daniel really gave his best to bring a pacifist message to them but his message was unheard. Instead he got a taste of the rotten fruit they were throwing. What a day!

pretty nasty? anyway...i liked how people got into the river itself and started fighting again...
