If you really want to see a wild and whacky scene, go during the Carnival of Cultures in May. There were 2 million people at the parade and the subway had been so overwhelmed before it started that they closed the main station and we had to walk a couple miles to the next one when it was over. But damn was it fun.I am sorry to hear that but you and your better half would still have fun in Germany and Austria. My company is currently establishing a subsidiary in Leipzig, former East Germany. Olde time city but close enough to Berlin. Decent food scene, whacky people and easy to get to all parts of Europe.
