Continuing the German theme (alongside Max! 2000 and after Oktoberfest) is the return leg of a cultural exchange project between Berlin and Hong Kong. After the blunder of a Chinese artist taking 2000 Buddhist symbols to Germany (swastikas) to Berlin, curiosity surrounds what artists there will bring here. More than 500 artists are flying in and events include art shows, music, dance, theatre, film, exhibitions and workshops.

My I Want That Flight! Review
Ok, I am a little biased – I have been using this site to book domestic flights for years, so I clearly like it.
The calendar view makes it dead easy to see when the cheapest flights in a month are, and it is also easy to compare flights from one week to the next (not just the next day).
They are now showing International Flights as well. How about Flights to London? There are flights and prices listed for every capital city, and if you choose your origin then there are 6-10 flights listed from that departure city. All flights listed are the cheapest found in the last 24 hours.
I Want That Flight! really does help you get that flight!
