My contacts in Berlin

I know it may be a little late to put this on, like who's going to read it when there's hour left lol.

My two friends 'Rob & Max' have been living as artists in Berlin for parts of this year, I've text them the Hotel address and they've suggested calling in and perhaps taking us on a night on the town.

I'll tell you all any how but if this is read: wahoo :-)

ART SHOPS

Here's a pretty tasty looking art materials shop just round the corner from the hotel:

Also quite nearby there is Yard 5 who sell spray cans, markers, ink etc, although why anyone could possibly need graffiti materials in Berlin I daren't imagine!
