Zoologischer Garten was an important station for me. It provided transfers to other lines quickly from the U2. From there I could jump on various different S-Bahns going in different directions. Aside from that, Zoo also had a market that carried things we couldn't find from other sources. HIT Ullrich! They had all kinds of random things that no other store would carry and it wasn't too badly priced either. If we wanted to make certain foods, we were nearly sure we could get the ingredients there. Further, there was an ice cream shop there that I would take people to when they came to visit from out of the country. They were always impressed with it.

The entrance to the Zoo proper is also here. There I got to pet a Rhinoceros. He put his head across the barrier and I was scratching his nose which seemed to make him very happy. That was strange and cool all at the same time. There was also a Lion that surprised me the first time I heard him. He was VERY loud. He also wasn't pleased with being gawked at and would let us all know. Over and over. I really hadn't known how loud they were until then.

Oh, there was one other important thing here. There was a store in the U-Bahn station that sold Mountain Dew. That was so hard to find, I was surprised. But when I found this place, I was able to finally get my hands on some and I'd show up once a month or so to pick up a .33L bottle. Yes, it's my favorite soda. I try not to drink too much of it, but once you can't have something, it suddenly becomes more desirable.
