** I will have very little time to spend with you as I am very busy, but will be happy to maybe have dinner or breakfast together and swap stories :) ** *****Some tips on what to do :) ***** Free things http://www.gratis-in-berlin.de/ Wikitravel Article on Berlin http://wikitravel.org/en/Berlin Cheap anarchist/lefty stuff (in German) http://stressfaktor.squat.net/ I'm a somewhat quiet but smiley person ;) Into discovering small artsy "alternative" bars, cafés and teashops, going for walks, spending time by the water, having picnics, cooking, sharing music and conversation. Enjoy architecture and views, meeting new people and hearing their life stories.
