You can’t satisfy your thirst here without buying bottled water. Restaurants don’t serve tap water, and Berlin tap as evidenced by our hotel isn’t bad. And Tiergarten, Berlin’s equivalent of Central Park in NYC, doesn’t have water fountains. 2024-09-03T14:00:41Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs9e9m7tpkazcqk93n4a0sd5jjmf7wwthxjsvt0jxan397n29a4z9czypqt98em7j9qd3zlxw456vh6hjlv7u6aay0uakejmv2v06hu2g06cxe0flg In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqsqg4js405f55qg7ma0fucf020mh4t7teafu02cjcpkfpfrs4ur8cs69yks5'>nevent1q…yks5</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>If you want to see how grumpy a given city can make you, try flying into it sleepless early in the morning of a hot day, knowing you can’t change into shorts and sandals till your hotel’s 3PM check-in time.<br/><br/>That was us today in Berlin. 2024-09-03T13:51:10Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqsqg4js405f55qg7ma0fucf020mh4t7teafu02cjcpkfpfrs4ur8cszypqt98em7j9qd3zlxw456vh6hjlv7u6aay0uakejmv2v06hu2g06cz52urx In reply to <a href='/nevent1qqs2shw78esxhljt2qwn3v4f5tdpyz07qzfvhtevrf4z5whkggrgncq408t3m'>nevent1q…8t3m</a><br/>_________________________<br/><br/>Wooden utensils with our airline food? Actually they’re made of bamboo, and I managed to get a splinter. But I’m not gonna sue Delta, I’m so magnanimous.<br/><br/>The flight attendant says on flights terminating in the USA the bamboo cutlery gets burned along with the rest of the food service trash. On flights to Germany? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯<br/> <img src="https://f2.tchncs.de/media_attachments/files/113/072/390/693/771/100/original/36238f41b95d9ba1.png"> <br/> 2024-09-03T07:18:05Z https://yabu.me/nevent1qqs2shw78esxhljt2qwn3v4f5tdpyz07qzfvhtevrf4z5whkggrgncqzypqt98em7j9qd3zlxw456vh6hjlv7u6aay0uakejmv2v06hu2g06ck79eyl Maybe it wasn’t smart to start our annual Germany trip on (USA) Labor Day?<br/><br/>But we got to JFK like true stingy NYC sophisticates, taking the A train to Lefferts Blvd and getting takeout from one of the roti shops there before transferring for free to the Q10 Limited, which gets you to the airport quickly.<br/><br/>And actually we breezed through bag check and security on supposedly a crushingly heavy travel day.

But they just improved the situation a bit by releasing a Google Maps layer that locates about 1000 public restrooms you can use without paying: <a href="https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?hl=en&amp;ll=40.70466250351277%2C-74.02749106507329&amp;mid=15bUbaKsobajdGL6HLmUpmBuZ_6ILtVQ&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_name&amp;utm_source=govdelivery&amp;z=14">https://www.google.com/maps/d/viewer?hl=en&amp;ll=40.70466250351277%2C-74.02749106507329&amp;mid=15bUbaKsobajdGL6HLmUpmBuZ_6ILtVQ&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_name&amp;utm_source=govdelivery&amp;z=14</a><br/><br/>I just spot-checked my neighborhood.
