The Battle of Berlin in 1945 claimed more than 170.000 killed soldiers and several ten thousands of dead civilians. More than half a million people got wounded, physically as well as mentally. The Soviet War Memorial at Schönholzer Heide in Berlin's Pankow district is final resting place to almost 20.000 Red Army soldiers that fell victim to that final combat »»
Germany's longest real Underground – Berlin's U7
Number 7 among Berlin's undergrounds can score with the superlative of having the longest subsurface leading route of Germany's metros, that is a 31.8 kilometres long tunnel, which was even the most sprawled out tunnel in the world from 1984 to 1988. From northwestern Berlin (Rathaus Spandau) to the southeastern end of the city, that is Rudow, a ride on the U7 needs almost one hour travel time. It diagonal route through the city leads through former West Berlin only and stops at historic gems like Hermannplatz, an underground cathedral being built in 1926. Through the years it got extended several times like modern designed stations Rohrdamm or Mierendorffplatz show, making the U7 so interesting and inspiring that you can even find it in computer games »»
Moving from West to East – The U5 Line
Why did the U5 run once in West Berlin and what does a Swede have to do with pre-war Berlin? Why do the stations of today's U5 appear similar and functional? What role played the GDR and what does the U5 have to do with Klaus Wowereit's still unfinished BBI airport desaster? Like all other also the fifth BVG underground line is unique but also prompts a couple of questions. Its highlight is Alexanderplatz, an underground cathedral from where in the future U5 will extend to join forces with the U55 to finally shake hands with the central train station infrastructure-wise. Reflecting the history of that line one thing becomes apparent: Money played the most important role in life of the U5 »»
Oberbaum, Berlin Wall and so on…
Berlin-based bridge Oberbaumbrücke is a symbol for many things: Where nowadays cars, metros and tourists cross Spree River from north to south, was once the border between the East and the West. The former border strip was guided by the course of the river; a route, that today is famous for pleasure boat trips. The towers of Oberbaumbrücke are not only identity-establishing for the directly neighbouring club Watergate, but stand first and foremost for the vicinity of Berlin and Brandenburg. Also in my life Oberbaumbrücke played an important role, as it was my first contact with the West after the Berlin Wall fell down »»
Threesome – Prague's Metro Network
If it's rush hour in Prague and you miss a metro train by an inch only, then you merely have to wait 115-150 seconds until the next train pulls into the station. That's top-notch in Europe, in particular in the background of only 1.2 million people living in Prague. The trains of Pražské Metro bomb along three lines through the underground of the Golden City, connecting old as well as brand-new stations that tell the modern history of the Czech capital »»
One for All and All in One – Warsaw's Underground
Following the course of Vistula River, Poland's one and only underground stops at 21 stations in Warsaw's underground. Consisting of only one single line being in operation, about 370.000 people use the coaches shuttling along the 23.1 kilometres long track. Planning and design actually having started in the 1920's finally saw and end when in 1995 Metro Warszawskie started operations. It belongs not only to the youngest undergrounds in Europe but also has officially one of the most beautiful stations in the world. Very soon its singlehood will change though as the start of second line operations already loom »»
The Poor, the Cool and History – Riding on Berlin's U8
Besides being Berlin's second North-South connection the U8 line is first and foremost a journey through history as well as social structures of the German capital. Beginning at the mystic Märkisches Viertel, having its own rules, the U8 route leads through nowadays central Berlin being annexed by trend victims, parasitic hipster Yankees and new arrived wanna-be Berliners around Rosenthaler Platz, to end at the original Kreuzberg and Neukölln districts, where life in summer happens in the streets, the Mediterranean way, where Berlin's multi-cultural facet becomes more apparent again »»
The Tunnelbana Netherworlds of the Stockholm Metro
What do Ebba, Knut, Greta and Elvis have in common? Correct: all of them are true blue, come across the "wrong" side and run in Stockholm's underground solely. But what sounds a bit like a scattered group of weirdoes is actually black-blue, made of metal and dedicated to transport people: the Tunnelbana, Stockholm's metro, where every of its coaches has its own name. Quite likeable, isn't it? But the real gem of the Swedish metropolitan underground is the variety of its stations since in particular the subterranean stops are brought to the fore artistically making every stage telling a very own optically exciting story. »»
Bypassing East Berlin with the U9
Running completely subterranean and on former West Berlin territory only the U9 line is 18 stops and 12.5km long. The line having orange as colour code connects Berlin's Wedding district and the south-western Steglitz neighbourhood with the western city centre around the Zoological Garden station »»
Temple of Justice – Berlin Mitte's Court Building
Despite being something very positive, when taking decisions independently from the sovereigns point of view, you, as a normal citizen, will rarely get in touch with courts. Of course Berlin has a court too, even several local courts, but it is the 1904 built Amtsgericht in Berlin's Mitte district that peeps out of the grey mass and that deserves a look behind the scenes »»

Sony Ericsson W610i mobile phone
4.0 stars
Price dependent on contract
2 megapixel camera, large screen, blogging tool, TrackID software
Keypad prickly to use, nothing out of the ordinary
Launched at the same time as the Sony Ericsson W880i Walkman phone, the new W610i is the handset's fatter brother, but is the additional size worth the bother? We get phoning to find out.
Measuring 14mm against the W880i's 9.4mm, the W610i carries almost all of the same features as the W880i including that 2 megapixel camera, a thin, almost prickly to use keypad and the now iconic black and orange colour scheme (it's also available in silver and black for those not so daring).
Of course size isn't the only difference - the Sony Ericsson W610i doesn't sport 3G connectivity instead opting for quad-band, and you'll only get a 512MB memory card in the box instead of the 1GB card as with the W880i.
Being a Sony Ericsson, the phone comes packed with a bunch of the company's software, now found on all models as standard, and this includes the TrackID application that allows you to find out the names of tracks by recording it and then sending it via text to a database, as well as, the company's blogger tool that lets you upload images directly to your Google Blogger account.
Interface-wise it's exactly the same as the latest batch of phones from Sony Ericsson and overall we found it very easy to use, including the music software.
With a fatter design and a paired down spec sheet compared to the W880i, this is clearly a catalogue filler rather than flagship model from Sony Ercisson.
That's not to say that it's a bad phone, far from it, but it's for those who perhaps can't afford the W880i and want to upgrade from their W810i for a slimmer more software-packed model.
Good, but don't expect to get many head turns down the pub.

DEFINITION of 'New Zealand Stock Exchange (NZE) .NZ'
The securities market in New Zealand. The New Zealand Stock Exchange (NZX), based in Wellington, consists of the New Zealand Alternative Market, the New Zealand Stock Market and the New Zealand Debt Market. Together their purpose is to offer secure, liquid investments and opportunities to grow capital to individuals and companies alike.
BREAKING DOWN 'New Zealand Stock Exchange (NZE) .NZ'
The NZX originated in New Zealand's 1870s Gold Rush, when the country's four biggest gold mines served as financial centers and each had its own exchange. It wasn't until 1974 that these entities merged to form the contemporary New Zealand Stock Exchange. In 2003, the NZX officially became a limited liability company, with its new name being the New Zealand Exchange Limited.
