What the hell?
After reading this story on Gawker.com, I feel like living in paradise a bit. Here in Berlin, you are not welcome as a smoking guest in public transport. But I think that’s the only thing you are not allowed to, with the exception of not having a ticket. Even seen weed smoking and puking people on late night trains, not jailed for anything. A bus driver told me once: “you are allowed to bring in your beer and drink it - as long as you keep the bottle with you when leaving.”
Right now, the public transport in Berlin is on strike. For the first time since communists and nazis striked in a joint effort in 1932.
