Europe 2.3 - Berlin
Four days in Athens was probably too long (3 days would be enough). Anyway, we continued our vacation, flying into Berlin (Schnofeld airport) at 7 PM then took the Airport Express train (RE14 route) and efficient U-bahn (U2 line) to the Hyatt at Potsdamer Platz. Our first impressions of Berliners was not good - the train ticket collector was rude, and the local I asked for directions to the hotel simply ignored me. The check-in staff at the Hyatt were very friendly and helpful, providing a detailed and personal tour of the hotel, room and club lounge.

Nexus 4!
Missed out on ordering the Nexus 4 when it was sold out in less than 20 minutes on Australia' Google Play Store last November. Thanks to checking AndroidPolice and AusDroid on a regular basis, I found out that it would be available for purchase again at 9AM on 31 January 2013. To prepare for the purchase, I made sure the online purchase page was loaded, payment details were up-to-date, and I was logged in to my Google account in advance. Started constantly hitting F5 at 8:55AM and sure enough, at exactly 9AM, the status changed from 'Temporarily Unavailable to "Add to Cart". Placed the order straight away and FedEx's shipping notification indicates it will arrive tomorrow. I'm EXCITED!
