« Berlin. Stores. There are many small markets here, people don’t go to big supermarkets once a week; instead, they buy fresh items almost every day. The selection is huge, kind of like what you would see in a typical grocery store. You take a cart, insert 1 euro, and when you’re done, you put it back and get your euro back – that’s how they keep things tidy, so carts aren’t just left everywhere. The cash registers don’t have much space, so you quickly toss your items into the cart, step aside, and then organize everything – this helps avoid long lines.
There are also plenty of markets where you can find a little bit of everything: cosmetics, diapers, food, clothing, household goods, medicines – it’s similar to stores that carry various products, but with even more sections. I spent 8 euros on milk, water, juice, cookies, yogurt, bread, muesli, and sugar. At first glance, it might seem a bit pricey, but honestly, 8 euros is a great deal for such a haul. Also, on Sundays, nothing is open; it’s a day off for everyone (except some centers at the train station and a few cafes/restaurants in the city center), so don’t forget to stock up on groceries by Saturday! »
I have Wi-Fi, which my husband is using here for work, so that's cool. It can be a bit crowded sometimes. A German SIM card costs 20€ per month, so we don’t mind treating ourselves to that.
A metro ticket is valid for only 2 hours, and in our case, it costs around 3.90€!!
I’ve relaxed and unplugged! Thanks to my buddy for the recommendation. My kid is already enjoying his stay and completely forgot about his bed at home while he’s here.
So, tomorrow we continue our photo adventure in Berlin or maybe find something new in the photo album? 😉 »
The Berlin Communication Museum opened in 2000 in a historic building of the former Reichspost. The building itself is quite beautiful and stylish.
Inside, there are enough exhibits to pleasantly spend about 4 hours. Minimum.
Admission is 6 euros; for students, it's 4 euros.
All visitors are greeted by entertaining robots. One hands out tickets, another provides assistance, and the third tells the history of the museum. 😊 »
However, if you’re not planning to buy anything and just want to take photos of the stalls filled with treasures, you might face a slight disappointment: you’ll have to pay a euro for each photo you take. »
Entrance fee is €5. »
