Hello! I haven't logged in for literally ages. I'd also like a different nickname but oh well!
Yes in fact I'm in Berlin right now! My InterRail pass is valid starting today so I can't really give you any advice or tell you of my experience but I think that if you're travelling around more than you actually stay in the places you visit, a global pass is in order. However, if your friend just wants to travel cheap and only has just a few destinations in mind, maybe a flexi pass would be a better (and cheaper) solution.
As for suggestions, I'd say Holland. Not necessary Amsterdam, it's too touristic. Rotterdam, The Hague, Maastricht or Utrecht are all very good alternatives. Rotterdam especially is unlike any other dutch city and has a unique cultural setting. I think your friend would like it if she liked Berlin (which is a fantastic city, I agree).

Hello Dimitris.
Be assured that your Web-based knowledge will be a very valuable commodity here - heh heh.
I'm currently living in the American southwest at 7,000 feet above sea level. What is your altitude? Thank you.. Well, I'm not sure, but I think I am at about 300 feet (100 meters) above sea level. I live in a suburb called Nea Smyrni, not far from halva's place. Nea Smyrni (with Nea meaning "new" in greek) was a town created by all the greek refugees fleeing from Izmir, Asia Minor (smyrni... izmir... sound similar, eh?), after the Holocaust in 1922. While it was a very small "village" when it was founded, now it's one of the larger suburbs, numbering around 120,000 inhabitants.

The General Board Moderator greets you. I guess you don't know me. Allow me to introduce myself: Dimitris Hall, Sir halva's son. Dad gave me the control of the General Board given I'm not that knowledgable in the other topics of discussion. I compensate for that with knowing a few things about how stuff on the 'net works though, so I could be of help. We could use this thread for introducing ourselves.
