After eating yourself to bits in Paris, you'll definitely need some proper beers in Berlin. It so happens that I am from Berlin, still here, so I'll drop you an Email tomorrow with things you can do to drink beer and besides of that. Grüße aus dem neuen New york der Achtziger, Gunnar HI Annie,

And it would do you good, I promise. This should be a good hotel – it looks a bit like Old Europe, though:

It's just not a good idea and things will get a little dicey. As for Paris, I've only seen the airport. I think it's free to sleep there, but I wouldn't recommend it. I took a left fork in the jet-way once, only to find 2 security personnel hovering over 3 travelers stripped to various degrees & laying on the floor. I assume they weren't sleeping and I'm sure they got the clap. I was asked to walk away & when again the fork appeared, I chose wisely. On the other hand... Depending on your health insurance and in a purely economic sense, it may be better to save on your hotel accomodations & just take some antibiotics when you get home.

Rest assured, I will have my children feeding you out of coconuts and singing you to sleep under the tropic moon. Wow, you make Europe sound like a scary, expensive toilet.

Buy his current guide and it will Show You The Light. We saved much $$ and time (shortcuts baby). He does lie a bit here and there (really Rick, only a couple hours in the Louvre?) And - go to Rheims. Take the train and tour the champagne houses. Then try to find the train again. Such good times. http://www.ricksteves.com – Seriously. the dude has it all.

The prices arent too bad, the room and bathroom were small but clean. I did not get gonorrhea. Stay away from the mimes.
