    • As I stood close to the Kaiser-Wilhelm-Gedachtnis-Kirche I noticed a group of women stood around talking. They were joined a few minutes later by some men who started shouting at them; well they were stood around talking and should be getting to work. They decided whose turn it was to have the baby and who was going to get the crutch and accompanying limp. Have made these important decisions they then went on their way to accost passers by for money. If you are aware of this scam you will see it in numerous other countries.

    • If you use the trains in Berlin sooner or later you will have someone enter the train and after short speech offer to sell you a magazine. This seems to happen at the weekends. During the week after the short speech the music starts sometimes with 1 musician but I did see up to 3 on one occasion. Though in their case a police officer got on the train causing a musical interlude until he got off.
