blood fart Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 All the kebab shops here say something about doner kebab. Some of them will have their vegetarian sandwich listed as a vegetarian doner on the menu. So I don't know if the doner means the sandwich part or the meat part or what. They always know exactly what I want and never give me the rotating meat shavings. And there is always the possibility that they are retards when it comes to naming items on the menu...i've noticed some places aren't really that great with explaining things on menus. I also have no idea what specific type of cheese they use, I just know it is delicious. We've gone to tons of different places and so far my favorite is one of the places up the block from us. I need to start getting their vegetarian yufka...those things rule hard too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viperface Posted June 3, 2009 Share Posted June 3, 2009 I checked it on the Google Translator for reals, it's Turkish adjective for 1. turning 2. turnable 3. winding 4. swivel 5. rotary 6. rotative 7. rotatory 8. rolling 9. revolving I guess it's just stuck, sort of like Bolognese pizza/sauce which here is a nice word for a cheap ass meat+tomato sauce. While in italian the word just refers to the area of bologne, which is famous for a tomato sauce or something Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reuben Kinkaid Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Don't pay for the trains. At the very least don't put your feet on the seats. I got reamed by an old lady for doing it, then, after I apologized with a blank stare and she realized I didn't speak German, she proceeded to lay in to me in English. Berlin is fucking awesome.

Ski Mask Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Heh! I said DÖNER because earlier I had no Idea what it means. Over here in northern EU the kebab meat is always called just kebab, even in places ran by Turkish immigrants. Döner is a non-existent word over here. Then I went to Germany and suddently all they had was this döner kebab. WTF... dinner? It's cheaper? First I thought it was a German word but apparently it's Turkish for "rotating". I guess Germans just like the word. it's sounds close to Doerner (a common geman name?). its a regional thing. here in canada nobody uses the term "kebab" they just call them Donairs.

R@ndomH3ro Posted June 4, 2009 Author Share Posted June 4, 2009 PS - You've lived in Germany how long and you're only now going to Berlin? dude, people have these things call "jobs". And sometimes these jobs only allow these things called "vacation days" well I have been lacking some of these "days" and I just got a bunch in order to travel around. I have already been to a bunch of places and now I am going to berlin. Plus Berlin isnt really on my top things to see...I would rather go to Spain or Poland, cause really if you seen one big city in germany...you kind have seen them all.

Everytime we ride the U/S Bahn...there is non-stop graffiti. I can see graffiti in my own city everyday...I can't see a concentration camp in my own city. People keep saying don't pay for the train tickets..when I thought the same thing for a while and from time to time would ride the train with no ticket. But after seeing people get a 40Euro ticket for not buying a 3Euro ticket..it makes me just want to be on the safe side and go ahead and get one. We've been asked by the train authorities to show our tickets on NUMEROUS occassions. It's always much easier just to have one, show it, and then go on with your day. It's not like we are too broke to pay for a group day ticket for like 15Euro for all of us and then just not have to worry about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blood fart Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 http://www.myspace.com/hanswurstvegancafe http://www.yellow-sunshine.com/ http://www.cafe-morgenrot.de/ We'll probably go to these places that one of my friends recommended. Not that anyone on here actually reads any of my responses, seeing as how I have stated many times that I don't eat meat and people keep suggesting to eat meat. Meat that if I did eat meat, that I could get in the city I live in...which is about 7 hours from Berlin. And none of us drink alcohol. If we did, we would already know about German beers..since (as both of us said) we already live in Germany. Thanks anyways.. For nothing. I was just hoping that people that actually live in Berlin would know of some cool non-touristy shit to do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LosingMyMind Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Whenever I speak to someone who's just been to Berlin and ask them how it was they all make the same face, like a kid who's just come back from a toy/chocolate/fireworks factory. It happened again this afternoon. I went when I was about 16 and had a great time. Need to get back though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
