Thanks.

Has anyone here been to either of these cities and want to share any suggestions of cool places to go or things to see and eat? I have about 5-6 days in each city. I'm going to Berlin because I'm very interested in its history, and London because it's so famous, because I've never been to the UK before, and because my flight was only $50
If you're going to Berlin for a weekend, pick a one where Union Berlin are playing at home (guaranteed packed stadium and plenty of noise. Keep chanting "Eisern Union (pronounced Onyoon) and you'll be sorted).
Haha, I'm going to have to double check that chanting that is a good idea... because I mentioned I was going to Europe on another forum where I play mafia, and someone gave me this advice: http://www.playdiplomacy.com/forum/viewt...70#p930320
As a Canadian not remotely into football, I had to do a significant amount of research to realize that that was a very bad idea. Can't trust anyone these days.
Quote:Was there last September and it is a massive experience. The Sachsenhausen Concentration Camp at Oranienburg is a sobering experience, well worth going to. And there are more museums than you could shake a stick at, a day or two at the Museum Isel is an idea.
Anywhere in the city centre is good for meals, I was paying €30-€35 for three course meals and two pints every day, very good food almost universally.
Cool, thanks for the tips! My family is German, so I grew up with lots of German food and love it. It's one of the things I'm looking forward to most - I've been to the black forest area in Germany, and had great food there. Also on a historical level, so much has happened in Berlin, it's a city I really want to see.
Quote:As regards London, like the rest of England it's a shithole, so best of luck there.
I guess I'll find out.
