Does anyone know good links I can read up on about this, or just any information I should know?? I'm coming over to Berlin on the 13th of November till the 16th. Initially my plan was to take photos of the newly painted wall pieces, street grafitti and other obvious sites etc. Whilst googling one day, I was so excited to see that the Photography Exhibition is taking place, but i've not managed to find much about it. Any chat back about this would be great! X

>> any information I should know??
Yes. Changes are, that you are completely mistaken and that there is no International Festival on Photography in Berlin this year (incl. November). Sorry.
If there was such sort of a fetival coming up, C/O Berlin (that's a gallery) would *definitely* hop on the bandwagon and provide some sort of forum.
Plus, the two listing magzines Zitty and Tip would introduce the festival. Plus, there would be a website of course. But there's no such thing, sorry.
Think Turtleshell is right, and you would definitely find more information via google if such an event is taking place in Berlin. However, have a look at http://www.artfacts.net/index.php/pageType/exhibitions/city/12/country/1/lang/1, you might find something else of interest for you.

Ah! This link is for 2008! I'm a year behind! Ah well.. I'm sure we'll find plenty other things to keep us amused :)
Thanks for that :)
The bear is the symbole of Berlin. Bear is "Bär" in German, and as for pronounciation it could as well be "Bärlin" - maybe that's the reason, I gotta look that up one day... Anyway, you can find a lot of those colorful bear sculptures all over the city - at least when I was there in Septeber 2002. (I don't think they are meant to be permanent.)
At the centre of the Tiergarten, stands the Column of Victory (Siegess?ule), 67m high, surrounded by a large roundabout called "Gro?er Stern".
The column was completed in 1873 by Johann Heinrich Strack for the K?nigsplatz in front of the Reichstag. It was constructed to celebrate the military successes of Prussia over Denmark in 1864, Austria in 1866 and France in 1870 and 71, it was inaugurated in 1873 by the Emperor William 1.
The statue of Victoria, popularly called the Golden Elsa, was added some years later by F.Drake. She commemorates Prussian victories of war.
In 1938 Hitler moved it from its place in front of the Reichstag to the centre of Tiergarten where it stands today in preparation for his plans for Germania, the new capital of the ReichThere is a 285 steps upthere to see a wondeful view of the large park.
Do you like sports and will be in Berlin in September? If you have the chance, go to see the Berlin Marathon on September 28th. 35.000 runners are expected.
Well, if you don´t wanna participate yourself *smile*, then just enjoy the great atmosphere and people cheering for runners, skaters and wheelchair racers. I was there 2 years ago and had a great time! I'll go again!
This photo effect at the East Side Gallery is also fascinating.
You look behind the scenes – into non-existing holes, behind fences, around corners. You create the third dimension on your one-dimensional photo by making the person in the second dimension have a special look at the paintings.
Just a tip because I like the photo – not for rating. Thanks!
We went to Trompete last weekend, and it was good, if slightly expensive (€5 entry, €7 cocktail specials), at least compared to Heidelberg. But the music was very good (dancy hits 70s, 80s, newer stuff) and we certainly did not feel older than everyone else as per usual (clientele mostly 30s) -- in fact, I would say we were the youngest people there. Also seemed pretty mixed in terms of Gay/Straight, and everyone (nearly) was in couples or groups. Not a pickup joint by any stretch of the imagination. Comfy couches, elegant bar, small dance floor with requisite pole. Not quite shicki-micki, but don't wear your scruffy jeans.
