I was lucky to find some street markets in Berlin. It's really a good sight with people, sellers, bidders, things all kinds displayed on the stalls/platforms/tables infront for everybody to see. It would be along a stretch of a street.
Antiques, books, CDs, old records, shirts, clothes, books, kitchenwares etc etc, are all being sold or trade at street markets.
Look for these markets, buy something that you might not find back home. I bought a bootleg CD of Nina Simone, like all her hits were carmped into one CD & cost me 5 Euros only. I didn't even bargain c'os I was so happy.
The street market that I went to Trodelmarkt was only opned on Saturday & Sunday. I am not sure about this though. The location, now I couldn't remember. I remember I was on my way walking to see The Victory Column, so it should be somewhere in that area ?
There's even a mobile toilet nearby if while choosing something, you have to 'go'. I think it was free !

Prague ? Off the beaten path in Berlin ? yes, why not ! It's a train ride away & Prague is so unlike Berlin with rich cultures & history, in some ways connecting to Berlin. The war etc.
I think it's about 6 hours between them by train. If you are in Berlin maybe more than 1 week, please, please do go to Prague. you will thank me later.
It's a beautiful city in another country of course. Amazing sceneries in the north of Czech Republic as well. If you decide not to reach Prague, get off in the north of Czech Republic.
If I was not running all the times in my travel in that year 2002, I would love to stop in the north of Czech Republic.

Bears, the Berlin symbol. Now I know why some friends asked me to look for some German bears when I am in Berlin. I saw them everywhere ! Almost.
There are all kinds of colours & posings of these bears. They were at odd places where sometimes you wouldn't expect to see them. It looks fun that way.
The creators or the designers of these bears are written down on EACH one of them. If you have so much times to lose, play a game ! Like, look for a bear designed by such & such. Ain't that fun ? Well, not to me really but maybe to some kids visiting Berlin. Better than doing drugs there !
