#1 made me laugh, since it's clear the creators didn't really think the whole thing through, but, hey, give points for coming up with a solution to a trivial need. The site looks really cool -- if I am ever in Berlin....

Thanks for this!

Terrific. I like travelling online, the weather's always great, noone steps on your feet, don't even need clean socks.

Org's are getting better at making websites. I guess they decided the web isn't a fad after all.

It is a great museum, especially so if you like trains. It also has a kind of heart-breaking section covering the gliders of Otto Lilienthal. He died in one of his creations.
