| We'll be back in Orlando this weekend for our usual club reports but we'll fill today's article with a couple final photos from Berlin. The building above is home to Berlin's famous department store, Kaufhaus Des Westens, called Ka De We by everyone. It's the largest department store in continental Europe and the second largest in Europe overall after Harrod's in London. |

| Department stores in the United States continue to struggle although 4th Quarter results so far appear promising. Ka De We (literally Department Store of the West) was absolutely jammed with customers during two visits this past Saturday and Sunday. (Sunday was one of just four "Shopping Sundays" that German law allows each year.) Check out the food hall on the 6th floor. A very impressive stop for any tourist visiting what at one time was West Berlin, the island of freedom surrounded by communist East Germany. |
