One great thing about Berlin that's often forgotten about, is that it's really close to Poland. In less than two hours you can be over the border in Slubice, via Frankfurt (Oder). And so many things to do! Well, not really. Just over the border is mainly farmland and little villages. But you can get a very cheap haircut and if you are a smoker, cigarettes here are a steal. Of course the people are very friendly - in comparison to Berlin at least - and everything has a certain rustic charm. I was so chuffed by the place that I had to grab myself a local girl - what a find!
