Advantages: An unrivaled selection of species, Located right in the heart of Berlin. Disadvantages: A rainy day may diminish the enjoyment somewhat. Pick a sunny day to go!
Located in the heart of Berlin, the famous Zoologischer Garten is one of Europe's biggest zoos, and boasts the largest variety of animals in the entire continent.
An interesting fact states that the first bomb dropped on Berlin in the World War 2 did not kill a single human, only an elephant. The zoo we see today has evolved much like the city surrounding it. BerlinZoo is a surprisingly large expanse for its location. This is no out-of-town park, BerlinZoo lays right in the thick of things; only a few meters from the famous Gedächtniskirche and the hustle and bustle of Berlin.
So what is the big appeal of BerlinZoo? Recently, a big crowd puller was the arrival of 'Knut' the polar bear. Of course Knut is no longer a cuddly little bear-cub but a twenty-something stone gargantuan, but that is no reason not to pay him a visit! If ...

Advantages: Germany's capital and most interesting city Disadvantages: a bit too large, distances too long
'the front city', the 'island in the Red Sea', the 'stronghold against communism'. I saw the wall and am glad I did, although I knew it from pictures, I didn't imagine how gruesome it was. My fourth Berlin is the capital of the reunited Germany; after the fall of the wall in 1989 I've visited the city several times, there is no other capital in Europe for which you need a new guide every time you go because so much changes, so many buildings are renovated or rebuilt from scratch or are completely new.
Berlin has not one centre but several, this has nothing to do with the partition, it has always been like that, the different boroughs have quite independent sub-centres, too, a tourist should know this in order not to be disappointed. I think it's a good idea if I take you through the city from West to East, starting at Bahnhof (train ...
Advantages: Powerful horror, genuinely scary Disadvantages: Sickening to watch
It took me at least a week to come to a semi conclusion of how I felt about Eden Lake; it took me a few days at least to get over the initial shock and emotion felt by watching it. And I have to say that the film I am about to review is like nothing I have seen before.
Eden Lake, is an English film directed by a man called James Watkins, I had never heard of the film nor the director and I was not that enthusiastic about watching it, but after a day moping about alone I wanted something scary to watch and it was in the horror section of my local movie shop at a price of £4 so I thought I would give it a watch. Sometimes I just crave something to give me a bit of a scare.
Horror films which are genuinely scary are few and far between and it is almost unheard of to find one which gives you more than a few jumps and actually offers ...
