Congratulations to TallPaul (aka Paul Iddon) for winning the free pass! We appreciated his story about working for non-profits which has never allowed him to attend a large training conference such as TechEd. But don’t fret, keep watching the Countdown show as there will be more opportunities to win! In the remaining minutes we have another member of the TechEd team join us as we share stories about our planning process, including the importance of yummy food at the event, and how we plan for delegates that will attend from over 60+ countries. http://www.microsoft.com/europe/teched/

I'm from Germany and I used to live in Potsdam but moved to Victoria BC 2 years ago.

So of course my first tip is Potsdam. It's really nice City with lot of old castles and its' just 30min by train.

-Blind date with a different meaning http://www.dinner-in-the-dark.com/

-Potsdamer-Platz in Berlin http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=berlin+potsdamer+platz&FORM=BIFD

-If you have enough time and 60km is not far away then Tropical Islands is worth a trip http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tropical_Islands it's huge artificial tropical resort in the world largest single hall without supporting pillars inside. It's a weired experience, its like biosphere on the moon.

-And don't miss the television tower http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berlin_Fernsehturm The Space Needle has just the half of the height.

-Oh and if you wanna experience the Autobahn then rent a Porsche http://www.erento.net/rent/vehicles-boats-aircraft/special-cars/porsche/germany/ and go down the Berlin Ring to the A9 and have fun without speed limits. If you hit the 250km/h then there no need for coffee anymore.

TechEd is a big, great event, but in Poland we also have a big conference: Microsoft Technology Summit, which will be held on the 5-6th October in Warsaw, and about 3000 people will attend it

One thing I really would love to visit is this chilling monument: http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=berlin+holocaust+monument&form=QBLH&scope=images&filt=all

It's a rather new monument remembering the holocaust. I've heard it's chilling your nerves when you stand between all those pillars.

Great suggestion, CKurt. I will definitely make time to visit the monument.
