Look out for the green and red men!
by maryamy
In the East the red and green men of the traffic lights were much cuter than what we have in Western Europe it seems. In East Germany at least!
Make sure to watch out for these. They are manufacturing them again, so they will not die an extinction, but it's worth a photo or two.

Traffic lights

If you are walking around Berlin and you are not very sure if you are on the ex-Eastern side or the ex-Western side, here you are a tip: on the Eastern Side pedestrian traffic lights have different icons. You only have to look at the photo.
Si vas paseando por Berlin y no estas muy seguro de si vas por el lado ex-oriental o por el ex-occidental, aqui tienes una pista: en el lado oriental los semaforos de peatones tienen iconos diferentes. Solo tienes que mirar la foto

Excellent Italian Shoe Boutique
by mi5chelle about Ricardo Cartillone
Upscale shoe boutique with hand made italian leather shoes and boots. Anything, its all excellent
Don't forget to ask for the customs tax refund form as you will get money returned back to you as you leave the country. Lowest price shoe that I saw was 143euro. I bought a beautiful pair of boots for 229 euro
