As a tourist, just don't loose your ticket and know when the last run of the day is. Our Berlin tour showed the unique political and cultural metro features.
Checkpoint Charlie, Berlin Wall and Brandenburg Gate standout as focal points. It is amazing historical poignancy on a global stage with superpower involvement. Our cab driver told us that about one half of Germans, who were anti-American, now are not since Mr. Obama's election.
Berlin's philharmonic orchestra, recognized as world class, was in concert Friday the 26th. Tickets were sold out, so Tom and I decided to attempt buying them in the front of the hall. Competition was fierce! (I'm not kidding!) A professional ring of three, using a cell phone and bully power, were dominating sales. Tom was posted out front and me by the side door. Chances didn't look promising as tourists scurried for any available ticket. SCORE! Two tickets! (by Tom)
Classical music at its best was played flawlessly.
