Berlin: The Guy's Guide to Berlin Romance

Berlin: The Guy's Guide to Berlin Romance: "

guys%20guide%20to%20berlin%20romance.jpg Berlin's grim history is less than enchanting. But that's not to say one can't find love in the German hauptstadt. No, I don't mean with those girls in uniform bustiers on Oranienburgerstrasse. (Really, do not go looking for love there.) I mean along the tree-lined streets of Unter den Linden with your girl. Come now, it's not so kitsch. The Linden leaves are all shaped like little hearts. Then there are loads of treats for the senses to conjure up a little romance. Not currywurst, the gritty aesthetic of Alexanderplatz, the dusty smell kicked up by deconstruction of the Palast der Republik, the sound of jackhammers, or the feel of that autumn dampness setting in. I'm talking about sweets, pretty things, perfume, and other such bits of love candy ... all with a nice Berlin twist. Here's a selection of our favorites, from the subtle to the outrageous. (Pictured left: The Treptower pinkler sprinkles love and happiness. Wie süß.)

Budget Traveler's "Cheapest Place in the World" Not So Cheap

Budget Traveler's "Cheapest Place in the World" Not So Cheap: "

Filed under: Food and Drink, South America, Peru, Ecotourism, Budget Travel

When my news feeder gave me the headline 'Cheapest Places in the World,' I clicked excitedly on the link, anticipating a new traveler's hot spot, a place where I might travel on $30 a day at the most.

I was wrong. Budget Traveler's 'cheapest place,' Mancorá, Peru, may be inexpensive for someone who can afford a vacation, but it's far beyond my backpacker's budget. Usually when I buy a plane ticket to somewhere far, far away, it means I'm going to be gone a good long while. And if that's the case, there's no $40/night hotel rooms -- my budget ranges from $60-100 a day (Europe) to $20 a day (India). If I'm headed to Peru, I'm going to be shopping for the cheapest possible accommodation, and I have a feeling it can get a lot cheaper than $40 for a bed. Ditto for eating -- Budget Traveler suggests that a $6 meal is a bargain, but the writers obviously haven't looked to street food for their culinary delights. As we've written about the merits of eating street food many times here at Gadling, I won't say more than this: street food is generally less risky, much tastier, and a lot cheaper than restaurant food, especially if said restaurants are anywhere near tourist hot spots.

So, who is Budget Traveler catering to? I'm guessing it's the demographic I'm increasingly less a part of: the unattached, DINKs (Double Income No Kids), 20- 30-somethings who have the same travel bug in their veins from studying or volunteering abroad when they were younger, but who can afford to class up their travels just a notch. But for now, Budget Traveler's recommendations are a bit out of my budget.

Tips for Upgrading Your Airline Seat -- On the Cheap

Tips for Upgrading Your Airline Seat -- On the Cheap: "

Filed under: Airlines, Budget Travel

I used to enjoy flying, but lately it's become such a chore. Long lines, delays, and uncomfortable seats. Well, Aviation.com offers some help for the seat situation. These tips won't get you through airport security any quicker, but they might make a long wait on the tarmac a bit more bearable. Here are a few of the tips for scoring a more comfortable seat:

Fly JetBlue. JetBlue's has added extra legroom on its Airbus jets, with at least a 36-inch seat pitch in the first 11 rows of its Airbus 320 fleet and at least 34 inches in rows 12-25 (seat pitch is the distance between any one point on the seat and that same point in the row ahead or behind). Some airlines have 32 or even 31 inches between seats.

Pay for an exit row. Gadling blogger Iva is all for upgrading to an exit row -- while it may cost as much as $75 for all that luxurious legroom, it's worth the price on an international flight. Aviation.com lists some exit row seats going for as low as $5.

Look for 'premium economy.' On United, you can sometimes upgrade to 'economy plus,' which has 5 more inches of legroom than regular economy. Frequent United flyers might want to look into Economy Plus Access, which allows passengers to reserve economy plus for themselves and a guest for a year of travel, which at $349 a year isn't too expensive.

Use miles to upgrade to First Class. I still haven't flown in First, but one of these days I'm going to cash in my miles for a taste of the good life.

These are just a few of many tips offered; it's worth reading the full article at Msnbc.com.
