If there is a natures call to be answered, don't look for McDonalds or any other restaurants but look around for public Pissers :-) there are all around the city and for free :-)))) Now relax and do your job at the right place !

Tipping: 15% at least is tacked on to your dining bill, above that is up to you, pay for the service that was provided (sometimes it is REALLY rotten, usually quite good and then there is the OUTSTANDING!).
Do not say how everything is better in your home country, no need to have a loud voice, no need to 'flash' large amounts of cash, credit cards or jewelry, in other words 'Do not make an ASS of yourself!'
Do not make comments about the people, thinking that they do not understand you, many of the people in Berlin speak more that one language, English is quite high on the list.
In general, try to behave as you would want to be treated.
Munchwinkel

Munchwinkel is a little village in the Old Eastern Germany approx one hours drive from Berlin. It is an amazing little place next to the river Spree where we had a lovely picknik with friends on their farm
Items are Swedish yet often Taiwan made too
by MD2nd about Ikea
Nice, huge, famous IKEA "factory" offers thousand of lovely things (very low in price) for furnishing, decorating, clothing, bathing, gardening and on and on and on. New to me was that their stuff is often Taiwan or Turkey made nowdays. Ikea-Berlin Tempelhof is located on Sachsendamm right at A100, exit Alboinstrasse. Easy to get there by public system as well: U6 to station Alt-Tempelhof or subway lines S2 and S25 to station Suedkreuz. Also with bus 204 or trolley M46 it's easy to get there. Question then would be how to get the purchased items packed.
Their parking options are enormous, and very comfortable.

Here's a club - I don't know its name - which made me see how little it takes to put up a place people will like. Three walls, a roof, some boxes to sit on - and of course, atmosphere! Use your imagination - and lots of it!
