This is a beautiful indoor pool facility that was recently restored. There are two large pools -…read morethe largest is kept at around 28c/82f and the smaller large pool (which is still quite big) is kept just below bathwater warmth - it's REALLY warm and you don't have to get used to the water temperature at all. There is a schedule for open swim time for the public on their website. It's around 5€ to use the pool. There are separate locker/changing rooms for men and women. Each locker room has hair dryers (1€) and lockers where you get a key in exchange for a 1€ coin that you get back, so remember your coin if you want to secure anything. The locker rooms have changing tables and wooden playpen sort of things to put your baby while you change. There are swim classes at various times during the day so it's important to understand the schedule if you want to use the pool. I've enrolled in two classes. One instructor spoke only german which is understandable. Another instructor spoke german, spanish and english. The pool facility has a website but no way to do online registration so if you plan to take a class, plan to register in person, and to get there before opening time. The queues run out the door and he wait for registration is longer than an hour. During registration, their card machine wasn't working so they were only accepting cash. All in all, it's a nice big clean pool facility but they could benefit their customers by creating online registration. After all, it's 2018. The front desk staff could also use a lesson in smiling and not being so crabby.

This place is great in the winter, especially because they have certain hours when the price is…read morelower. The problem is that during those hours it is impossible to do a work-out swim. Forget lap swimming, there are no lane lines and swimmers pretty much have to stop at each side of the pool to plan how to criss cross their way to the other side. And the late night cheap swim seems to also be the make-out-in-the-pool spot and the get-sexual-favors-in-the-corner-of-the-pool times. I haven't gone during the normal hours but if you are here as a tourist and want to see the beautiful architecture, go during the day. It is certainly worth seeing. The sauna is also affordable and charming with the old tiles, but I went on a mixed (male and female) day that was a total sausage party. Honestly, I don't care that the majority were dudes, but why they all seemed to be doing yoga moves that required spreading their legs as far as possible in the air has always baffled me. Not too pleasant when the sauna is so packed that the guy behind you is dripping on your back! For a more pleasant mixed sauna, I recommend liquidrom or this one really cool, smaller Russian owned sauna in Friedrichschain (will review soon!).

I jumped off a 39 story hotel…read more And obviously lived to tell. That's why review #1600 goes to this crazy adventure I'd like to call LIFE. Well, life can get boring sometimes. If you find yourself waking up every day going through the same motions, packing the same PB&J for work for the 4th time that week, you my friend, have gotten boring. Comfortable. Comfortable will be the last emotion you'll feel when you're signing a waiver that reads "possible equipment malfunction which can result to fatal injuries or even death". Try uneasy, nervous, FREAKING OUT. Also, try concentrating when the handsome Friedrich straps you tightly in your harness while explaining what's about to happen in the next few minutes. The staff here are excellent at making you feel safe, even when your stomach is in knots. Then it gets real very quickly when you walk the steel plank, feel the wind in your face while you're standing on the edge of the platform. Suddenly, all those people walking around Alexanderplatz look like tiny ants. Your heart beats faster and as you summon every last bit of courage in your being, you're hoisted up by a steel cable on your back and left dangling in a superman pose long enough to realize, you could REALLY die this way, but the least you could hope for is not to sh*t your pants. Then you fall, and fall and fall through the air ... after what feels like eternity (8 seconds!!!) your feet touches the ground and you let out an excited "wohooo!!! I'm ALIVE!!" with your hands waving wildly in the air and these German boys give you a look that says "wow, Asian girls get waaay too excited." Back home, you look at your instagram photo with a satisfied smile on your face. As you bite into your PB&J sandwich for the 4th time that week, you stop and notice it tastes different. Oh yeah, I made it with almond butter today.

Pandas were the only reason I wanted to come to this zoo, but I ended up seeing and loving the…read morewhole park! Full disclosure, I do love zoos. But as I said, I specifically came here to see the pandas, because I'd never seen one in real life. It was only after I got back home that I remembered that this was the zoo where the lady with mental issues climbed into the polar bear exhibit to swim with them. Yikes! It's a great zoo. The grounds were immaculate with wide, winding pathways. There was plenty of room indoors and out, both for the humans and non-humans. I enjoyed watching the anteater waddle around; an animal I have seen before, but my hometown zoo doesn't have one. I thought the aviary part where you walk through with the ground dwelling birds was pretty neat. My zoo has something like that, but the birds are all tree dwellers, save a few ducks. We saw the bald eagle and gave him/her a little salute, and watched as the kudu chased the ostriches. Of course, the pandas were my favorite part. The babies and mom were off exhibit the day we went, but we got to see dad rolling around the outdoor exhibit before taking a nap. The gift shop was great. It had a huge variety of souvenirs to buy, and I had a difficult time making up my mind what to get. Most of my items were panda themed, but I walked away with one or two things to remind me of the overall zoo as well. Education, conservation, preservation...this zoo has and does it all. 86/2025

I had my first Underground Lasergames experience on the weekend and WOW! I've played Lasergames…read morebefore (in Australia), but this is a completely different league. For starters, the bunker location is very cool and gets the adrenaline going on arrival. The equipment is great, not too much gear and the hand held guns are easy to operate. There is also a variety of games you can play. We did a round of every man/woman for themselves, which was a great start and good to get to know the location. We then went on to complete a group mission. This involved cracking codes, climing into dark sand filled rooms, a team against team round and more! My personal highlight was abseiling down into the dark second level of the bunker with only a gasmask and a camera on my helmet, hoping my team would tell me the right way to go (which they did very well!). Definately got a rush! I'll definately be going back. And for all you women out there, it's not just a guys thing. As a women, I had a ball and those with me did too. So don't be shy! p.s. I recommend to all take comfortable clothing so you can move well, nothing too warm because you sweat alot and nothing white because you'll light up in the blacklight and get dirty anyway. Enjoy!!!

I had an awesome time at CrossFit MINS while visiting Berlin. I attended 3 days in a row, before…read morehaving to leave the city. The coaches spoke a mix of English and German, and I could tell that the members also spoke a mix, with some fluent and some not fluent German speakers. The demonstrations were good enough it didn't matter anyways if I understand their words exactly. I also felt comfortable asking for clarification if needed. The gym is a good size - and the classes were capped probably at 12-16 to make sure there was enough space to safely do the workout. There is a bar at the front, and change room and bathrooms at the back. I signed up through Eversports app- and just showed up about 5 minutes before the workout. I told the coach I was a drop in, and that was fine. The subsequent days I actually used the waitlist feature on Eversports, before being accepted into the class, and that was pretty seemless. Overall hard, fun, well organized workouts. I'll come back next time I'm in Berlin!
