I waited for the opening of Bonn's TK Maxx (aka TJ Maxx in the US) store with bated breath…read more *FINALLY*. Styles I liked at prices I could afford! The euphoria lasted about 10 minutes, which was approximately the time it took me to reconniter the three floors, and which was less time than it will take me to write this review. Contact me directly to enroll in PowerShopping 101. I was momentarily awestruck by the appearance of D&G, Costume National, Missoni, and Roberto Cavalli... but then I realized, seriously. Would these brands be selling their best - or even third-class - wares in a TK Maxx?!?! I think not. I flipped through a couple of racks looking for the usual suspects: Calvin Klein, Studio M, DKNY, Noa Noa, Polo, etc. A found a few, but again, these really looked like bottom-of-the-barrel quality. Why three stars? 1) My husband actually *asks* to go shopping at TK Maxx. Any store that can make him want to shop gets a star in my book. 2) The shoe selection is decent, and the quality seems better than the clothing. 3) Furniture and home goods. I've found some great buys in this section that were really not available in any other store in town. So, yes, TK Maxx, I'll be back. But with diminished hopes.

This is one of the bigger stores, with a huge selection of departments. you won't struggle to find…read morethe sort of item you are looking for. the store seemed disorganised from what I could see, it was difficult to find someone who worked in the store.

The Brave New World is a shop hidden in a side street of the Schildergasse in Cologne, which is why…read moreyou'll have a hard time finding it by accident. The BNW is a games shop, offering anything from role-playing games and tabletop games over board and card games to comics and even a few t-shirts. A word of caution: the shop is oriented toward a geekish audience, and you will not find many family games between Warhammer miniatures and Shadowrun sourcebooks. One advantage of its rather obscure location is the insider quality the shop has; you easily get into conversation with the shopkeeper (a fellow who actually is quite knowledgable of his stock). Even should you have a more exotic wishes, he can probably help you. Further, the BNW also hosts various events, ranging from regular game meetings to tournaments, which makes it a valuable place to be even when not trying to spend money. Thus the BNW is one of the best places for your roleplaying (and similar) needs in Cologne.

Well, it's true they have a bigger selection of English books than other shops in town, but very…read morevery few classics. Sigh. Too bad. Wish they had more books like that, instead of all the many many many toys and games and baby things and stuffed animals. Also, .50€ to use the bathroom?! Luckily I snuck in behind another customer. Must be expensive because of the fufu blue lighting in there.

Amazing!!! I always buy in this store... Last time i was…read morethere in February this year.. I was lost searching for a book.
