Berlin is somewhat lacking in authentic Asian cuisine, but this is the place to go for a delicious (and totally satisfying) bowl of Ramen! They're open till midnight on the weekends--just make sure to get there an hour before closing as they tend to fill up!

A must-see in Berlin, located right across the street from our apartment! Tempelhof is a once-abandoned airport that has since been turned into a park, with two huge runways that are perfect for skateboarding, biking, rollerblading etc. The sunsets here will never fail you.
