Talk:Berlin

Not pickup after 6 hours in Airport Berlin-Schönefeld

I wanted to go to Usti-nad-laben (after Dresden) I was there. I arive there around 12pm I waited, waited. I trusted this place because on hitchwiki it's was write that it's the best place to go to dresden. The only trafic sign was Dresden by highway and I had a big sign Dresden. I was confident to find a lift. I waited, waited, a lot of cars, nobody stop. I tryed without sign, then 2 cars stop but they was not going in the right dirrection. After 6 hours I finaly give-up and cameback in Berlin where I was sleeping before.

On the evening I was so disapointed, I looked everywhere. I looked for liftsharing, for train. I finaly choose lift sharing for Dresden and wanted to hitchhike after. I tryed to call 4 personnes : 2 didn't answer, 1 was full and the last didn't spoke english... Then I didn't had the choose : Hitchhike again.

I looked on hitchwiki and saw the spot for go to Leipzig. I wanted to go to Dresden by Leipzig. But I notice that it's was two petrol station one for the west dirrection and another for the east dirrection.

Then I gone on the petrol station on the east dirrection where of course most of the people go to Berlin, then I found somebody in 20 minutes for go to the next petrol station, then somebody for go a bit in the dirrection of dresden quite quickly then somebody for go to dresden easyly to. I think I will remove this place near of the airport and tell to use this petrol station. It's much better. Any objection?

Bus #263 from Grünau S-Bahn

I read on Ikea's website that this bus goes to the Ikea mentioned in the article; that is near the gas station [1]. So I took the bus, and as the map implies, I expected the bus would go all the way to the Ikea. However, the bus ended some 3km from the Ikea at the end of Berlin and at the end of a residential area. I think it did not go all the way because of the fact that when I did this it was a holiday. When I was approaching the mall, I saw a Metro and the petrol station in question on the other side of it. I do not know if it is possible to walk through the Metro because the entrance gates were closed. I ended up walking around and behind the mall which includes the Ikea, a Toys R Us, etc. Once there I walked over a bridge and towards the autobahn and I walked alongside the autobahn for 1km to reach the petrol station. I think if it is not a holiday there is a better way to get to this petrol station using bus #263.

cleanup

While I was doing a sort of structural cleanup, I've seen some tips that seem outdated or a bit unclear (Tempelhof for instance), but I'm too tired to fix this now. --Kb 00:05, 27 September 2009 (UTC)
