I wrapped up a week of vacation in Berlin yesterday. Ten observations:
1. BER (the airport). Not to insult anyone....but it's a medium-sized airport (at best). From the middle of town to the airport....with a tip....it's about 70 Euro.
2. You can make your way around town easily, with Google-Maps....giving you the subway/tram options.
3. There probably 1,000-plus Curry-Wurst stands in the city. Quality-wise? Don't go expecting but plain regular two-star Curry-Wursts.
4. I probably ran across ten different protests/demonstrations over a 7-day period.....cops showed up and maintained order at each one. Figure 20-to-30 police required each time.
5. Between drunks, druggies, and homeless folks.....there's probably 10,000 roaming the city.
6. Kinky-weird attire? If you wanted fifty examples per day.....Berlin is the place to see it. Fetish attire to the extreme? Oh yeah.
7. I felt 'safe' for the whole seven days. Yeah, there were beggars on the subway system....but they aren't that pushy.
8. 'Wind-tunnels' to the extreme? With the taller buildings around.....you notice this a good bit.
9. The cat-temple coffee house....is an interesting place....where they were coffee, and cats roam the place....getting petted. Worth seeing.
10. For the first couple of days....I stayed in a loft-situation (two-floor room)....with a stairway. The stairs to the bed-area....around two inches taller than a normal stairway step. Oddly, your knees start to have issues in making the odd climb. Nice hotel....except for this factor.
