    Go east to prenzlauer berg for an edgy, amazing nightlife, you might be eating in an old underground bunker one night and 21st century architectural designed building the next. If shopping is your thing go to Ka Da Va on Kurfürstendamm, makes Harrods look like the pound shop. It's not crowed, people are almost too friendly.

    Then there's massive fish being waved in my face.

    Working in the Netherlands I think would offer a good quality of life also, London is just 5 hours away on the train... but Berlin....
    I'll keep your job in Berlin warm while you go and make some money in Holland.

            Or 3 hours on the train..

            It is tempting. Especially when your hourly rate moves into the 3 figured bracket... and paid holidays!

                Leave on good terms making some excuse about needing to be near family for a short term reason and that you will be back?

                  Currently what Mrs scooter and I are discussing... I'm not one to burn bridges needlessly but we both agree in this game you've got to look after no. 1 because no one else will.
