Its always nice to get some inside information and after reading many posts on this site, everyone seems to be so very helpful and full of advise.
Good luck with your move.

I seem to remember I got the name of the monument from the tour bus tape

I miss the Botanical Gardens, the Zoo, Alex, Kurfürstendamm, those wonderful Cakes, warme Schrippchen, Potsdam Schloss, Boat trips etc. all things I only learned about during countless post immigration trips back home. Let us know how you are getting on.

If it's true what you say about foreigners finding it easier then I might well go! haha x
