Get youself a "Berlin WelcomeCard"
by vichatherly
This will save you a lot of time and effort in buying train and bus tickets during your stay, not to mention the discount vouchers to loads of attractions and musuems. You'll be doing well to use up all the vouchers...so check out the sight to make sure you want to go to at least some of them.
We bought the 72 hour tickets at 22 euro's each and certainly used up at leat six vouchers and were off and on buses and trains like they were going out of fashion.
"Free travel on all buses and trains of the Berlin-Brandenburg public transport network operating anywhere within the A, B and C fare zones in Berlin for one adult and up to three children (below the age of fourteen) for either 48 hours (16,- €) or 72 hours (22,- €)*
The WelcomeCard includes a coupon-booklet which saves you money by receiving discounts on over 120 highlights (sight-seeing, museums, venues, clubs, restaurants, fitness - and wellness facilities and of course for shopping-areas) "

Berlin Welcome card
Generally, but not always,...
by miromi
Generally, but not always, Germans are more reserved and shy than say, people from Italy or the US. It takes a little more time to get to know people and you don't really meet people casually and make friends in clubs or in the workplace. It doesn't mean that they are mean, though, there are plenty of nice people here! Just keep in mind that it is a more introverted culture and that people are generally friendly and helpful if you go up and talk to them. actually, they really like it, so go ahead and do it. but please ask first before pinching someone's bottom
