July 08-14: Berlin Beats, Opera for Everyone, Live Music, and more!
Things to do in Berlin - Week of July 08, 2024!
I had a friend visiting from LA this week and I learned something new from him. Did you know that the cheapest ticket to Taylor Swift’s concert in the US is priced at $1,500?! Her concerts in Europe have tickets starting around €250! The demand is so high that some people are traveling to Europe to catch her concerts since it ends up being cheaper for them.
Want to hear something even crazier? The average price of Super Bowl tickets is $8,000! Where are we going in this world? I don’t think I’ve paid more than €300 for any ticket (except for airplane tickets). How about you?
Here's a sneak peek of what’s in store for you this week:
🎧 Berlin Beats: Actress
🎻 Staatsoper für alle
🎤 Live Music - Hidden Gem
⛰️ Kagbeni - A Himalayan Tale

Restaurant Review:
Hoa Rong - Vietnamese Restaurant (⭐4.5/5)
Not your typical Vietnamese restaurant. The food is both good and creative. The staff is friendly and speaks English. They have a wonderful garden outside. Reservations are available, making it a great choice for company lunch/dinner as well.
