The days of wandering in Deutsche---Berlin (Basic)

Weather:

Compared to Shanghai, Berlin is definitely a dry North weather!, latitude it originally and nearly as high as such as the da, the trees are all on the road and blight and bald, farmland is also yellow and dry.

And our country in the Northeast, the General indoor heating are very rehu, many locals in outdoor wear a lot, but they only wear short-sleeved indoor winter. But even the sunny weather, solar heat exchanger is also her father-in-law, breathing air is so chill, I put the Ling sister can wear are put on, sent the warm baby hand, Hei Hei.

But this year's winter weather is not good in the world, how on earth did the North, the Berlin City natural snow is absolutely never see traces of snow, more like a depression of play-by-play.

Of course, the depression is also depressed beauty! believe Berlin summer will be different scenery J

Proposal to study well first before or look at the weather forecast (BBC's prediction), rainy winter in Berlin is definitely a horribly.

Accommodation:

MEININGER City Hostel & Hotel （Meininger Strasse ）

Meininger Str. 10, Berlin, Germany

This is my first live Hostel, hostels have originated in Germany, most of them are very formal, and University dormitory, no different than more clean and comfortable hostel!

Originally, we are out to play, is the spirit of travel, not the physical corruption.

I lived in this area is the girls room (Female Room), breakfast is a package of 11 euro 1 night, breakfast good, excellent service, very accounting, but also met the youth from around the world, quite fun lvyoumen.

If you want to target, in their own website or specialized for Hostel http://www.hostelworld.com/can be scheduled, but the latter although sometimes cheaper, but to advance online payment deposit and 10% service charge.

It also has many other hostels to choose from, but the majority is not including breakfast and bed sheets, and only for 26 years of age for youth to live or to do special things like international youth card.

Traffic:

Aircraft:

Berlin is Germany's capital city, wherever convenient, Munich fly capital as long as one hour can, and sometimes Last Minute last minute airline tickets cheap than train more!

Berlin has a total of three airports, I went to the Tegel Airport is the airport is a big circle, it is enough for small, from this to that absolutely don't need 10 minutes.

But here the Shopping of duty-free shops everything, and the price is absolutely better than the South all the cities have cheaper!

Tegel Airport to the city centre has direct access to the BUS, very convenient: for example, to the train station to the Zoo station TXL (Berlin very famous station) X9 and 109, or take a few stops away by underground is very convenient.

Details you can see:

Train:

They say that de iron Vanguard cattle too, this time managed to see.

In Germany by train is easy, you can buy tickets on the spot, or you can purchase online:

Http://www.db.de/site/bahn/en/start.html (English version) so that people rarely is good, and we train hard to buy a home that is a world of difference!

And General online buy a round-trip ticket is more expensive than spot to buy, I bought from Berlin to Dresden train ticket only 52 euro back and forth, of course, I am still not persuaded, think the train robbery seat trouble many spent around 4 euro booked by the window.

Generally there will be the conductor after boarding ticket, if it is purchased online, you need to look at the printed e-ticket and payment of bank credit card.

De iron has many types of concessions for travellers, such as 5 individual votes Ah, Ah, weekend tickets are very effective, but this time alone with her sister ling, buy is EC express train Compartment block (that is, six of small boxes Non-smoking smoking), clean and quiet, just 2 hours to Dresden.

Berlin's main station (Hauptbahnhof) may be the new construction, particularly beautiful.

A total of 4 layers above and below, the following is by train, the second layer is the ground, the third layer is the transition, the fourth layer is the Metro (S-Bahn and U-Bahn), there are signs everywhere and airfares, will not be lost! don't worry you can look at their website: http://www.hbf-berlin.de/site/berlin__hauptbahnhof/en/start.html

Local traffic:

Germany is a highly developed countries, seems to be all the infrastructure is so perfect.

In particular, Berlin, extending in all directions of subway and bus, seem to fall into the corner are not lost, and the inner ring has multiple internal more unavoidably some overlapping metro lines to waste. I wonder if is not is winter, no matter what subway car goes, never full, but don't imagine the Shanghai subway crowded scenes may be copied.

City traffic minutes good variety of fare, such as day tickets, Ah, Ah, 3 days ticket 7-day ticket

Ah, Ah Welcome vote (I think this doesn't do much worthwhile), there are a variety of single journey ticket 2000 Ah, Ah 6 arrangement and so on and so on. Day ticket for the traveler who is the most benefit, regardless of the subway or bus can take, just how do you take all rows, but don't forget the first time you use the time to type dates on the punch, and the bus will take the initiative to produce to the driver. And the bus driver in Dresden, where only the automatic ticketing, Berlin does not automatically on the bus, ask the driver to buy tickets on the line; of course, at the station or subway station of any ticket purchase can, in case the tickets, everything depends on the conscious! had to admire, Germany's quality is high, if the wrap to Shanghai, don't know what kind of messed up. ..

Most of the attractions in Berlin are in A zone, Tegel Airport in the B zone, if you want to go to Potsdam is the C zone.

Ling sister bought ticket is: first day of the AB-day ticket (from the airport into the city) 6.1 Europe, second day, ABC days ticket (because you want to go to Potsdam) 6.6 Europe, third day AB votes (because although only stay in the city centre of A region, but day tickets only AB votes) 6.1 Europe.

Shopping:

Speaking of shopping, you must have two eyes beaming! Berlin's price is really cheap, at least compared to South Germany Munich does not know how much cheaper (except the luxury basically), just like domestic commodity prices in the South than the North is the same reason.

So, compared to the South, the North nature nothing very distinctive cuisine, at least I eat is cheap/normal/General.

Berlin, in fact, quite small, a long street of Kurfürstendamm elected Emperor Hou (China ridiculed "crotch" Street, haha) throughout the entire shopping street, the street side are the most upscale luxury shops: such as Chanel LV! Ah nothing; on the other side is the Centre of Europe, mainly H & M ZARA, Ah, Ah, there is also Europe's largest department store card GDW (KaDeWe) www.kadewe.de anyway, feel free to visit it, but don't forget the General to the evening 6, 7 shops are closed, but the Sunday is the whole city is empty, the spend no place!

Global prices are rising, Shanghai is the feeling in the roof, Germany people wages and currency is our 10 times more (now euro rises higher and higher), but many things were not much better than the expensive in Shanghai.

Luxury first have to say this, they said that my favorite yogurt, milk, General Germany also sold in supermarkets, 4 3 fur a box, count down, 3, 4 Yuan, not expensive at all! there's ice cream, not to mention that I had last year in Italy is one of the EU 2.5 also think cheap yet; I didn't expect to come to Germany, the country is an egg shell Europe 0.8, the delicious! Shanghai now authentic shop where to buy a $ 8 Ah, 5555. There are clothes, and now Shanghai clothes on a four digit number, no discount would be very little will be scouring the pockets, but Germany's mid-range clothes eyes looked that ten EU over Europe, where more than Shanghai expensive. Hey, only (extreme + jealous) envy those European wage + in Shanghai live Ah ^ _ ^
