Schlitten fahren

I know this is kind of childish but I really want a sledge. Seeing all this kids being dragged by their parents all around Berlin makes me really jealous. I guess that if I get one, I’ll end up in the intensive care unit of a random hospital in Poland due to a bureaucratic mistake but, what is a broken leg and massive physical trauma compared with the joy of having a sledge?

Children of Berlin, take care of your sledges. They are way too tempting!

Street numbering

Are you wondering why do you spend so much time when searching for an address in Berlin? In case you did not notice, the street numbering system in Berlin is quite confusing, as the system the rest of the world uses (odd numbers are on one side and even numbers on the other side of the street) is not valued very highly here and some streets are numbered consecutively up one side of the street and back down the other.

That explains those hordes of tourists staring at their maps and saying: „it… it should be here!“, doesn’t it?
