Sounds like a wicked place.... I was being a bit ironic in my previous post;-)

Berlin [EMAIL PROTECTED] rocks. Maybe some parts are like that. But we either didn't get in to those - difficulties on the door at Weekend Friday and Watergate Saturday (though I have been in before) or avoided them via the helpful advice of 313s own Berlin bible Roman. As far as I'm concerned it's all about a city that's both full of history and fabulous old architecture yet's as decaying-industrial and counter-culture as you like. I haven't been to all the clubs on the planet (yet) so I don't know for sure but somehow I suspect Berghain's up there. Massive. A maze. Incredible soundsystem. Which just churns out that wonderful sound of continuous hard tech like some faceless machine (no DJs on podiums there). Get there on Saturday night, if you like you can leave on Sunday night. People wandering around naked. All sorts of strangeness afoot. I wouldn't like to do it too often but it's fun now and then. And that's just one place. We managed to visit 6 places over the course of Friday, Saturday, Sunday and all were good in some way or other - Maria and Sternradio also get a special mention. Thank goodness I stayed in bed late on Sunday night (= 3am Monday morning) when 2 of our party had a sudden rush of blood to the head and decided to go out again managing to go to 4 venues before we enticed them back to the hostel with text messages an hour before we were due to leave Monday dinner time. Apparently the place they left last (some mad gay club under a railway arch on Alexanderplatz) was still going strong. Where else are you gong to find that at 11am on a Monday? OK Ibiza but this is a respectable capital city - maybe Marsell's gaff (sadly missing from my CV, must mend this soon).
