Miscellaneous: Get yourself a street map and a subway map. Then you'll be fine!!! Without it Berlin can get a bit confusing (With my map, too, it still has the wall on is and all streets in the east have their old names... argh! Maybe it's time for a new one!?). If you are unlucky you will walk towards the end of the world ;-)

Oh and, after having smoked the funny stuff (No this is not my Amsterdam page!) you shouldn't go anywhere near remaining bits of wall. I heard of somebody who was 100% sure that they put up the wall again one night!!!!
