31 | | -## Getting around |
32 | | - |
33 | | -Berlin has a good and safe subway system that runs all night. Make sure you |
34 | | -check travel times for subways before heading home at night, it's often far |
35 | | -cheaper then hailing a cab. If you plan to use the system rather often, it |
36 | | -makes sense to buy a weekend ticket. |
37 | | - |
38 | | -Cabs are state-sanctioned and of high quality. |
39 | | - |
40 | | -## Cash |
41 | | - |
42 | | -Paying with credit-cards in small shops or the supermarket is unusual in |
43 | | -Germany. Sometimes, such as in cabs, there's a hefty fee on it. Always carry |
44 | | -some cash around. |
45 | | - |
46 | | -Weirdly, ATMs are not as common in Berlin as you might expect, so don't rely on |
47 | | -finding one "on the way" if you are in a hurry. Check Google Maps. |
48 | | - |
49 | | -Dollars are not accepted in Germany. |
50 | | - |
51 | | -## Shops and Sundays |
52 | | - |
53 | | -Most shops outside of train stations are closed on Sundays. Plan accordingly. |
54 | | - |
55 | | -If you need something urgent, travel to the next train station, Alexanderplatz |
56 | | -or Friedrichsstraße. |
57 | | - |
58 | | -## Safety |
59 | | - |
60 | | -Note that walking around the street at night is safe, especially in the middle |
61 | | -of town where you are going to stay. If you feel unsafe in cities, sticking in |
62 | | -a group together with a local is still recommendable. Feel free to ask team |
63 | | -members or local community members if they have time to spend the evening with |
64 | | -you. |
65 | | - |
66 | | -Public transportation is safe and frequently used at night by everyone. Berlin |
67 | | -is the city with the lowest car ownership in Germany. |
68 | | - |
69 | | -For detailed safety information, also about interactions with the police or |
70 | | -racism, [WikiTravel](http://wikitravel.org/en/Germany#Stay_safe) has a good |
71 | | -writeup. |
72 | | - |
73 | | -Also, feel free to ask the local organisers about their recommendations if you |
74 | | -want. |
75 | | - |
76 | | -## Emergency numbers |
77 | | - |
78 | | -In case of emergencies of _any_ kind, dial 112 on your phone. This connects you |
79 | | -to a service connecting you to firefighters, paramedics and the police. |
80 | | - |
81 | | -You can also dial 110 for the police directly. |
82 | | - |
83 | | -## Contact numbers |
84 | | - |
85 | | -<*Contact to one of the organizers*> |
| 7 | +And of course you can always reach out to the team at [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]). |
