Hi,



I%26#39;ve found an interesting article:





spiegel.de/politik/…00.html

Thanks a lot. Well, that does not seem to fit....





But to what kind of places do we have to go when we just want to have a nice glass of beer??





Greetings,Q.

Not to Oranienburger Strasse for a start; it seems to be getting rowdier than it was. We were waiting for a tram there once when the pub-crawl group walked past. We also overheard drugs being offered for sale (buyers were Spaniards and we weren%26#39;t sure whether they had been part of pub-crawl group or just walking behind them).



Pub crawls and stag groups landing on cities are quite a problem . Check out Riga forums for really amazing stuff; what Spiegel describes here is very mild in comparison. It%26#39;s really sad that this is increasingly the image of young (and not so young) Britons abroad. Taking over from %26quot;los hooligans%26quot;, as they say in Spain (well %26quot;Rowdy%26quot; comes from English too of course!)

(1) Where to go for pubs - I can recommend the area around the Boxghagener Platz in Friedrichshain (U-Frankfurter Tor); bus 241 from Ostbahnhof; also the area around Zionkirchplatz and Kastannienallee (U-Rosenthaler Platz onwards).





(2) I don%26#39;t think so negatively about those pub crawls. It seems to be now fashionable to trash them but the people I know who went there had fun and did not only binge drink.
