Film to be seen: The life of the others
by PALLINA
Das Leben der Anderen is one of my favorite films; it won the Academy Award as best foreign film in 2007. I think it is a perfect film to watch if you are planning a trip to Berlin and you are interested in East Germany life before 1989.

by greentara
visit the Wasserturm in Prenzlauer Berg it's an impressive tower built in 1875. Set in the middle of a little park. During the Third Reich it's basement was used as a torture chamber and now it has been turned into apartments. wonder how many stories those walls hold. When you see it lit up at night it's magical... oh if only dreams came true....

Interesting Berlin's fashion
by matcrazy1 about Purple Phoenix
Urszula liked this store a lot. She spent... too much time inside and finally she didn't buy anything :-).
They offered clothes from collections of various less known, at least outside Berlin fashion designers like Sonja Shine, Uli Dziallas and Mari Otberg. Various pretty designs both elegant and more casual. Clothes by Berlin's fashion designers. Hmm... definetely not cheap store.
