Take the money and run, and it's only 45 mins flight from Schipol to City Airport!!Originally posted by scooterscot View PostBerlin the is the dog's bollocks. There's something for everyone here.
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.

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.Originally posted by TimberWolf View PostLeave on good terms making some excuse about needing to be near family for a short term reason and that you will be back?"Never argue with stupid people, they will drag you down to their level and beat you with experience".
