Taking a trip to Germany

In a weeks time I'll be going to Berlin for a couple of days, any recommendations on stuff to look for?

Hitler

A rapid gain of about 10 lbs.

Brown shirts.

Twotone

check out BerlinReport's shop!

Do a bicycle tour of the city
go to the markets and check out Muji right near one of them (near BR's store too I believe)
eat some curryworste and fries plus beer and lots of it
... I was going to just start listing things but there's a lot. check wikitravel


oh, and if you do happen to spot hitler while you're there, give him a good ol' kick in the nuts for me huh? Thx.

^ Thank you. So there's a Muji in Berlin? That's good to know.

What kind of shop is BerlinReport?

I remember the Muji store being very small...

Check out Apartment Berlin. They stock Common Projects sneakers:

apartmentberlin.de (close to Alexanderplatz)

The store is in the basement of the building you see on the mainpage of the website. I had a hard time finding it.

I'm interested in recommendations, too.

Some good tips on these sites http://www.scoute.org/issue/may/berlin/ http://berlin.unlike.net/

Muji? Who gives a **** about Muji? It's like the Japanese equivalent of Target.

1. Yep, there's a muji, very small one though. Still, my only time in the shop after hearing so much about it so it was fun. like a japenese(?) ikea.
2. Joking about BerlinReport? He's a SF member here, runs a small but well stocked full of mostly casual goodies shop in Berlin, if i remember correctly right near teh big TV tower.

Here's a story - I was in Berlin for a few days just sightseeing on my way to the TV tower (alexanderplatz?). I actually didn't even know about him and his shop. I was weaving my way through random streets, and walked past his shop, looked in the window, saw the displays, thought it looked interesting (some SF approved brands that caught my attention), then actually walked away because I wanted to see the sights, turned back figuring WTH I might find something nice, and went in. Then basically stared at the guy thinking "hey I think I know this guy!", browsed, walked out, then turned back again and point blank asked him if he was on SF!

This shop might be interesting.

Otherwise I double the comments on Currywurst.

triple

also try a "Berliner Weisse mit Schuss", specially brewed beer with a dash of syrup(raspberry or woodruff), i know it sounds terrible, but it is quite unique and refreshing.

Thank you all for the links and suggestions.

Not (intentionally) joking - didn't recall seeing the BerlinReport handle before. Maybe he posts more on the S&D side? Anyway, thanks for clarifying.

Yes, that does sound terrible - but the Truschinsky shop looks nice.
