this shop is pretty affordable and has a lot of different styles, but i have not ordered there myself and heard mixed things about the quality... so order at your own risk :)

I personally love eyebuydirect! I also use zenni but not as often!

Don’t spend money on frames with a designer’s name on them unless that’s important to you and you can afford it.
I’ve had good experiences with Warby Parker both in-store and online.
NY Times recommended EyeBuyDirect.
But any local store should have opticians who will show you around and suggest frames to fit your face. They’re very good at it!

is a japanese magazine about art, design and travel. i mostly read the photography articles and haven't had time to check out their other stuff, but those alone are really cool :) definitely worth a read if you're into japanese culture

Hey there, here are some cool things to do in berlin that are not too touristy :)
Activities
~ Herzberg Golf (really pretty minigolf place in Neukölln, if you go in the evening the lights are amazing)
~ Prachtwerk Neukölln (small venue where local artists perform)
~ Berlinische Galerie (museum for modern art in a nice neighborhood)
~ Tempelhofer Feld (used to be an airport, now its just a giant field where you can skate, picknick or just walk around - i think you can rent skates or bikes there, not sure tho)
~ Humboldt Forum (art museum in an old castle, very impressive structure and they have changing exhibitions - this one is not very unknown but worth a visit)
Food
~ La Maison (french bakery in Kreuzberg, a little hipstery but they have amazing pastries!)
~ La Bolognina (handmade pasta, very delicious :))
~ La femme (turkish cuisine, they have multiple restaurants in berlin - the food is heavenly, especially the pide)
~ Sahara Imbiss (for a quick snack, sahara has amazing falafel/halloumi etc. for 4-5€)
Bars
~ Villa Neukölln (cocktails and sometimes livemusic, can get pretty crowded tho so come early)
~ Zum starken August (amazing interior, they have good cocktails and sometimes burlesque performances)
I think thats it for now, hope you have a nice time in berlin :)

try to visit as many onsens as possible, it was one of the best experiences i had in japan! there is nothing like soaking in hot water after walking around in the city all day - and it only costs 3-5€. if you've never been to an onsen you should look up a tutorial beforehand, because there are some rules that are important to know. i also suggest visiting an onsen in the city center for your first time, because they are used to tourists and are more likely to have english signs. i linked an article with some onsens in tokyo, i hope you try one and have an amazing time in japan!
