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?
