It's Berlin trip again. This trip is going to be special for me because I'll be travelling during the fasting month of Ramadhan and my test partner is a lady!! Hooray..
It is summer time now and the day time is expected to be longer than usual. I've checked the takwim and it says imsak at 230am while maghrib is at 930pm. Wow!
I again choose KLM because there is a direct flight from KUL to Schipol, Amsterdam and the connection flight will be shorter compared to middle eastern flight with transits in the UAE, Dubai, Qatar or etc. We arrived Amsterdam at about 6am and our connection flight is at 10am. There is one flight at 7am going to Berlin but we didn't want to take the risk of flight delay or anything similar. So we had a very good time.. at the Schipol airport! Haha. But no worries, KLM lounge for business class passengers provides plenty of food and I even took my morning shower at the lounge. Comfy :)

Our flight to Berlin was as per schedule at 10am and we arrived an hour later. We went straight to the Park Inn Hotel at Alaxanderplatz. The was no Wifi provided and we need to pay €18 per or €6.50 per hour. This was inconvenient. But the location is quite ok where we stayed just across the metro stations "Alaxanderplatz". Opposite the hotel is the Berlin tower and Galeria Mall. During weekends, there's night market and fun park and it will be flooded with people.

Last time I stayed at the Steigenberger Hotel near Kurfurstendamm and it is more lively to stay in that area. More shops, malls and boutiques along the ku'damm road. I.e KaDeWe, Hard Rock Cafe, Longchamp and Lego store.

There are also several superbike shops.. the most popular is the Polo-motorrad motor store. There are at least 4 stores in Berlin. All are in different areas.

Omg.. I am writing all about shops.. I'll be writing about Berlin history in the next blog okay. Forgive me.. Berlin history is not really my passion as it is more on war-jews-hitler-church kinda thingy. Compared to other countries like France which are more on arts etc.
