The Quiet Bar

We found a local pub, which had some scary characters in it, until they started shouting us beers and about 3 hours later we had traded shirts and caps and made some new friends.

The poor old Brandenburg gate has been taken over by the Berlin fanfest. We spent a few hours there one day watching a live game with other fans.
