Berlin... around Bebelplatz
|
|
Arrived in Berlin late last night. Went straight to the hotel, driven by a speed demon of a taxi driver. I had my first encounter with the speedsters that German drivers are known for. Who would blame them when they have an autobahn with no speed limit?
Mama wasn't feeling well and Papa wanted to sleep in. Me? I wanted to start seeing Berlin a.s.a.p!!
So I left them in SuiteHotel (our abode for the next 4 days) and headed towards the first destination... in the eastern centre, area around the Bebelplatz
It was also my first experience with the German mass transit system... known as S-Bahn and U-Bahn. Luckily, there's an S-Bahn station just outside our hotel, and aided by a tourist map obtained from the front desk, I charted my way towards my destination.
As with any new place, I had to spend some time getting oriented. Which subway to take, which direction, how to get ticket, what kind of ticket to buy... Spent about 1/2 hour lah jugak trying to figure things out. Luckily the ticket machine ada English jugak, so that was extremely helpful 
Germans are known world wide to be a stickler for punctuality and efficiency. So right on the dot as listed on the timetable, the red line S-Bahn arrived to whisk me away...
