Berlin Trip

Last year in November some of us went on a whirl wind one week uni trip to Berlin. Let me tell you I saw more pieces of art work and visited more galleries in that one week than I had in my entire life and I was completely worn out by the end of it. We stayed at the A&O Hostel Mitte, which is a 7mins walk from the Heinrich-Hein-Strasse U-Bahn. Also because it is Berlin they all speak really good English in the cafes and restaurants.

List of Galleries

• LoBe Gallery
• Galerie Max Hetzler
• Gallery Mehdi Chouakri
• Hamburger Bahnhof- FYI the people who monitor the gallery are really unfriendly and watch you constantly like hawks incase the touch the work, heaven forbid.
• Galerie Crone
• Carlier Gebauer
• Galerie Cruise&Callas
• Konrad Fisher Galerie
• Zak Branicka
• Kunstlerhaus Bethanien

Places to Eat

• I-Shin (Cheap Japanese Food) on Mittelstrasse
• Chaapa, adalbertstr 9/10999 (Thali Food- tastes really) you get off at Kottbusser (Google map is a bit outdated, but that is the right place and if you keep walking up that road there are a bunch of other places to eat too.
• The Hostel Food is not bad either

Also Berlin has some really interesting architexture and there is grafitti every where, most of which is quite interesting.
