SA, no, I've never been to Berlin before. I've got a good friend who lives there, who's going to put me up and show me around. I'm WAY excited!! Though plane fare to Germany in June (or more broadly, to Europe in the summer) is ridiculous. oy. So you liked it? Do you have any tips or favorite places?
And what's the fun in becoming an immortal demon if you're not regular, am I right?

"You see? THAT's what they want. Love, and a bit with a dog."
Gulp.
Reservation made. Damn me and my impulsive ways.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
Damn me and my impulsive ways.
You misspelled "bless".

I couldn't help myself! I was looking at pretty pictures, then out the window at the snow and the cold, and I just thought why not do something crazy for once?
Now that that is settled, what on Earth shall I WEAR?

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!
Yeah, I liked it a lot. The train system was brilliant--while you can get a pass for however long you're there, you can ride the trains on the honour system. Not that, uh, I did that. *cough* I'm sure Berlin in June will be a lot nicer than it is in January, but I quite liked Potzdammer Platz, which is a great shopping district and fun to poke around and people watch. It also has one of the two english-language cinemas if you ever want to go see a movie.
There's a bunch of museums--if you have a student card it would be really useful, because I don't recall any of them being free. Most of them are located near Alexanderplatz, where the Cathedral is. The Kulturforum would be worth banking a day, or at least a few hours, for. Also, make an appointment to go into the Reichstag, the Parliament building, because you can get some kickass views from the nifty dome. There's a Lush there, too, at Friedrichstrasse, the main street in the city.

GS: If you had to choose between kicking evil in the head or the behind, which would you choose, and why?
Minsc: I'm not sure I understand the question. I have two feet, do I not? You do not take a small plate when the feast of evil welcomes seconds.
BTW- when you book a flight online, they charge you right away, but when you book a hotel room, you won't get charged until you leave, right? (I know, I'm unschooled when it comes to travel.)
IME, the part about the airline is correct. All the hotels I've stayed in, however, have charged me the first night's rate about a month in advance to "hold" the room.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Woohoo! I just got the okay for the week off March 20-25, so it looks like my midwest trip is on.

My experience is you don't get charged till you check in. If you ditch the reservation without calling to cancel (usually 24-48 hours in advance) they will charge your card on file one night's stay.
