Antwort - Öffentliche Verkehrsmittel in London
Hallo,
das einfachste ist die Oyster Card, die kannst du in fast allen Stationen kaufen. Damit kannst du alle Busse und Bahnen vom TFL benutzen. Es ist eine aufladbare prepaid-Chipkarte (aufladen kannst du sie ebenfalls an den Servicestellen in den Stationen), und du bezahlst immer automatisch den günstigsten Preis pro Fahrt und insgesamt nie mehr als den Preis einer Tageskarte. Viel Spaß!

Antwort - Any suggestions?
Hi John,
much to say, I'll try to keep it short.
Time: Summer, unless you have gills. Might be lucky in June, might be very unlucky in July, late August & September usually pretty good.
See (touristy): town hall, harbor tour( wouldn't recommend, expensive and a little dull), boat tour on canals (same), St.Michael's (a must-see, city's most important landmark, great view from spier), various museum (like the city museum, the art hall etc), shopping streets downtown (Mönckebergstr. and Jungfernstieg), Speicherstadt (cool to walk around, huge Art Deco brick warehouse city downtown).
Do (non-touristy, the way locals enjoy Hamburg): drink Alster (lager shandy) on the Elbe beach (take ferry from Landungsbrücken to Övelgönne, which is also a great substitue for an expensive harbor tour, and your subway day pass covers them, there's small shack where you can get drinks and pretzels, sit in the sand and watch the cargo ships go by; it's a must-do on a sunny late afternoon), drink more Alster on the Außenalster (the large downtown lake that gave the drink its name), walk across the Ohlsdorfer Friedhof (2nd biggest cemetery in the world, huge park with mausoleums, war memorials etc), go to a soccer match at St.Pauli (awful 2nd division club, but one of the largest fan communities in Germany, great atmosphere), have breakfast in the Portuguese district (Ditmar-Koel-Straße), go shopping in the little boutiques and second hand shops on Markstrasse, and on a summer night you have to go to Schanzenviertel (Schulterblatt street), the slightly punky, laid-back pub district, where locals hang out and beer comes in bottles.
Accommodation: tends to be expensive (as everything here), but as far as budget accomodation goes Schanzenstern Hostel has a good reputation and the YHI Landungsbrücken is right downtown with harbor view.

Antwort - Holiday in May to Croatia
We did the whole Balkan thing last year and I can only recommend it. If you're driving from southern Germany DO NOT MISS Slovenia! We spend a week in Ljubljana and the mountains (mostly Bled) and it is as gorgeous as can be, and it's on the way to Croatia anyway. I didn't think Zagreb was worth much time, it's a nice enough city, but a bit dull. I really liked Split, it's a cool concept for a city (built within the walls of a gigantic Roman palace), and it's not too crowded with tourists. From there you can catch a ferry to Hvar, one of the larger islands. It's totally beautiful and there is actually a bit of nightlife, as this is a popular yachting destination.You can continue on to Dubrovnik, but personally it annoyed the shit out of me. Super-crowded and a bit like a very expensive Venetian Disney Land. I suppose if what you are looking for is fancy restaurants, tacky tourist stuff, and other Germans (mostly pensioners) on the beach, you'll enjoy it. Not my thing, and not worth the roughly 6hrs or so by bus from Split. If you don't mind the drive, go to Mostar instead, that is fantastic and not as artificial as Dubrovnik. Many hotels offer day trips from Dubrovnik.

Antwort - Meer, wo in DE ist es am schoensten?
Juist, immer Juist! Keine Autos, 17km Sandstrand, wenig Touristen (in der Nebensaison eigentlich so gut wie keine). Hier ist zwar nicht viel los, aber das bedeutet im Gegenzug, daß man seine Ruhe hat. Man sollte sich auf dem Fahrrad wohlfühlen, ohne geht's nicht (es gibt reihenweise Radverleihs). Es gibt zwei "Ortsteile", das Dorf (wo die Fähre landet) und das Loog (wo gar nichts landet, und es gibt auf 4 Straßen nur Einheimische und einen Krämerladen). Ich kann die Pension von den Gillets im Loog empfehlen, die Räume sind frisch renoviert, die Küche teilt man sich mit den anderen (wenn welche da sind), und die Besitzer sind freundlich. Man kann alles über die Webseite der Insel buchen.

Antwort - Luxussteuer für Touristen?
Das ist völlig normal, in vielen Ländern nicht nur auf Luxusabsteigen beschränkt. In Slowenien zahlt jeder Tourist pro Tag €4 Steuer, und wenn man durch das Land reist, sieht man auch, wofür. Da liegt nicht mal ein Kaugummipapier im Gras, die Wanderwege sind das ganze Jahr top in Schuss und die Bergseen sind Trinkwasser-sauber. Ich finde das völlig in Ordnung, wenn das Geld anständig angelegt wird und zur Aufrechterhaltung der touristischen Infrastruktur genutzt wird. Irgendwer muß ja auch die Leute bezahlen, die im Elsaß die Nachtwächter spielen und von Restaurant zu Restaurant gehen, um traditionelle Verse aufzusagen. Das machen die bestimmt nicht für die Einheimischen...

Antwort - Best area to live in London?
It's very difficult to answer for the simple reason that London is a very non-homogenous city but more like a bunch of villages fused into a big city, each with its individual character. Generally London is pretty safe, there are no real no-go areas, but even some of the less desirable districts can be expensive. Personally I would say where you should go depends very much what you're looking for. I.e. if you're looking for somewhere with an interesting vibe and nightlife you could do much worse than Camden. If you're looking for a multi-cultural melting pot you could do worse than Brixton in the south or Aldgate/White Chaple in the east. If cheap is your highest priority you should expect at least a 40 minute commute to the city). Don't forget that very few people actually live in the center of London and the city itself is surrounded by a dozen satellite towns from which people commute into the city daily, such as Guildford, Luton, Bedford, and Crawley. If I could pick a place without worrying about money: Blackheath south of the river to the east, surrounded by parks and commons, sorta like a little village in the countryside, but you can hop on the train and be in the city in 20 minutes, but unfortunately it's crapping expensive!!

Kommentar - Fun Footy Matches
This is quite funny to read for me, because it pretty much reflects my first ever encounter with British sports. Even though I still don't know the rules I can only recommend going to a game, it is HILARIOUS and there's always some nice guy willing to explain the score... ;-)

Kommentar - FREE guided walking tours
Sounds great. Makes you feel welcomed by the community you're visiting. Wanna go to Cyprus now...

Antwort - food tips
Sydney: Try the Woolloomooloo Bay Hotel. It offers cheap, honest Australian pub food in huge portions and has live music most nights. There´s plenty of good Asian food places in the gay district around Taylor Square, you´ll have no difficulties finding cheap food there. Cool place to eat: Take the ferry to Manly and eat take-away on the beach front (you´ll find plenty of take-away on the Corso, the main street).
Good luck for Canberra though, you´ll be lucky to find anything that´s not expensive and pretentious...
