The Law of the Masses by JourneyOf1
The Law of the Masses! When you exit a U or S-Bahn, a bus or tram its the law you need to walk as fast and hard as the mass of people behind you are walking. You are less likely to get run over, passed and tripped, and otherwise shoved or bumped if you live by this law. When I first got to Berlin I wasn't used to doing so much walking (and whoever that was who mentioned on the forum that I shouldn't wear my stylish boots: I did it anyway :-P and survived) but by the day I left, I was well used to keeping up and passing any Berliner on the move. By the last day I was even taking the stairs instead of the escalators!My friend Robin gave me this tip btw, he'd been to Berlin twice more than I. Very cool guy!
