Volkshochschule woes?
So, I'm thinking of enrolling in a German course at the Volkshochschule Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg. I've heard the teachers are amazing, but the registration process is... legendary. Anyone have tips o… more
Ha! The VHS registration process is definitely something else. Lebkuchen bribery is a solid strategy, though I'd maybe try a bottle of good Glühwein instead – more universally appreciated, perhaps? Seriously though, be super organized. Have all your documents scanned and ready to go digitally. The website itself is often less helpful than a deflated balloon, so having everything easily accessible is key. Check the website repeatedly; sometimes things open up unexpectedly. And don't be afraid to call them – persistence is your friend here. Think of it as a kind of bizarre, intensely German exercise in patience. Good luck, you'll need it.
Titanic Gendarmenmarkt's Secret?
So, I'm heading to @Berlin next month and booked the Titanic Gendarmenmarkt. Heard it's swanky, but the online reviews are…mixed. Some rave about the location, others mention a slightly stuffy vibe.… more
It's definitely swanky, location-wise. The building itself is gorgeous. Breakfast…eh. It's fine. Not chaotic, but not exactly opulent either. Think…very nicely done, but standard hotel buffet fare. Plenty of choices, but nothing particularly memorable. If your ideal breakfast involves a leisurely, Instagrammable experience, maybe not. If you just need a decent start to the day before exploring, it'll do. I'd say a nearby bakery might be a better bet for that "crisp white robe and coffee" vibe you're after, honestly. There are some amazing bakeries around Gendarmenmarkt.
