			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Berlin is one of the coolest European cities, so why not experience it in lavish style? You&#8217;ve got the cash to throw around. Here&#8217;s where we recommend you spend it!</p>

<p>First things first, you&#8217;ll want to have your transportation for the day sorted. You&#8217;ll be picked up at the airport and driven around like royalty &#8212; who wouldn&#8217;t love that? Leave it all in the hands of a <a href="http://www.beverlycars.de/bvc/htmls/english/stretchlimos-oldtimer_auswahl.php?L_id=44&amp;L_pic=1">Beverly Cars</a> limousine. Better yet, a Rolls Royce Silver Cloud limo, complete with a chauffeur. Let&#8217;s call him Hans. Hans will greet you with a friendly &#8216;Guten Tag&#8217; as you step off the plane and begin your Berlin adventure.</p>

<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-54" title="beverlycars-image" src="http://www.10thousandbucks.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/beverlycars-image.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="229" /></p>

<p>Now that you&#8217;ve got wheels, let&#8217;s get Hans to take you to breakfast. Maybe it&#8217;s Sunday, maybe it isn&#8217;t, but it&#8217;s always the right day for a Champagne brunch at <a href="http://www.desbrosses.de/">Desbrosses</a>, a great little brasserie within the Ritz-Carlton of Berlin. It&#8217;s not a German morning without Schnitzel and Champers. They also offer an oyster and lobster buffet. Hey, if you&#8217;re not living a decadent lifestyle, you&#8217;re not living!</p>

<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-55" title="desbrosses-image" src="http://www.10thousandbucks.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/desbrosses-image.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="147" /></p>

<p style="text-align: center;"></p>

<p>It&#8217;s hard to keep track of time when you&#8217;re on a fancy tour of Berlin in your Rolls. Ask Hans to drive you to <a href="http://www.redfingerprint.com/watches_detail.php/Carl_F.Bucherer/Carl_F._Bucherer_Patravi_Power_Reserve/00.10616.08.33.21">Bucherer</a>, the exquisite German watch designer. While you could just blow your entire $10,000 on one watch alone, let&#8217;s be reasonable. Just spend half! Try on the Patravi watch; it&#8217;s a classic. And think of it as a souvenir to take back home with you!</p>

<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-56" title="bucherer-image" src="http://www.10thousandbucks.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/bucherer-image.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="439" /></p>

<p style="text-align: center;"></p>

<p>Time to take you and your new watch to see some German culture. The <a href="http://www.neue-nationalgalerie.de/">New National Gallery</a> boasts some amazing artwork from the likes of Munch and Picasso. Get an individual guide to give you the proper tour in English. You&#8217;ll impress your friends back home with your knowledge of 20th century modern art AND have a thing or two to say about the Bauhaus.</p>

<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-57" title="nationalgallerymunch-image" src="http://www.10thousandbucks.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/nationalgallerymunch-image.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="185" /></p>

<p>Lunch sounds good right about now, and why not try one of the most exclusive restaurants in all of Berlin: <a href="http://www.fischersfritzberlin.com/index.php?id=10&amp;L=1">Fischers Fritz</a>. It just <em>sounds</em> German, doesn&#8217;t it? That&#8217;s because the name is taken from a famous German tongue twister. With 45 chefs working hard in the kitchen to get your lunch looking and tasting like perfection, and a stellar reputation among foodies worldwide, it&#8217;s sure to be a meal to remember.</p>

<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-58" title="fischersfritz-image" src="http://www.10thousandbucks.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/fischersfritz-image.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="224" /></p>

<p>All this eating and traveling around is making you a bit stressed. You could use some R&amp;R. The best place to go to take your mind off all your troubles is <a href="http://www.adlon-day-spa.de">Adlon Day Spa</a>. We&#8217;ve booked you a Private Spa Suite, which comes with it&#8217;s own sauna, steam bath, shower, jacuzzi, music system, and spa lunch. That&#8217;s hardly where your spa experience ends though. For the lady, chill out with the Ultimate Spa Retreat package, which includes a private yoga session and a Balinese massage. We haven&#8217;t forgotten about the gentleman: a facial and Swedish massage package for you. Who says men don&#8217;t enjoy a little pampering sometimes?</p>

<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-59" title="adlonspa-image" src="http://www.10thousandbucks.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/adlonspa-image.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="245" /></p>

<p>Before you begin your night out on the town, you&#8217;ll want to look as glamorous as you feel. Take the Rolls to <a href="http://www.kadewe.de">KaDeWe</a>, the famous department store (KaDeWe is short for Kaufhaus des Westens, or &#8220;Department Store of the West&#8221;). Take a stroll down Luxury Boulevard, and pick up some new threads from top German designers such as Jil Sander, Karl Lagerfeld, and Hugo Boss. Looking good!</p>

<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-60" title="kadewe-image" src="http://www.10thousandbucks.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/kadewe-image.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="273" /></p>

<p>It&#8217;s dinner time. The place everyone in Berlin is talking about &#8211; <a href="http://www.margaux-berlin.de/">Margaux</a> &#8211; is the place where you need to be. It might be classic French cuisine but the head chef, Michael Hoffman, is purely German. He&#8217;s created his own style called Avant Garde Classic. The 7-course tasting menu has received rave reviews from critics of the highest esteem.</p>

<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-61" title="margaux-image" src="http://www.10thousandbucks.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/margaux-image.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="275" /></p>

<p>Time to get a little bit saucy. You want to experience the best in Berlin nightlife, and that&#8217;s just what you&#8217;ll get. Hans knows where to get a good stiff drink in this town, and that place is <a href="http://www.saphirebar.de/">Saphire Bar</a>. A bottle of Brut should get you nice and warmed up as you head off to the next activity.</p>

<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-62" title="saphire-image" src="http://www.10thousandbucks.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/saphire-image.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="212" /></p>

<p>Classy people love jazz. That&#8217;s why you&#8217;re going to finish your night at <a href="http://www.quasimodo.de/">Quasimodo</a>, the best and oldest jazz and blues club in Berlin. In recent years, some of the best in fresh new music have performed on Quasimodo&#8217;s stage. It&#8217;s a club steeped in music history, so it&#8217;s a safe bet you&#8217;ll hear some amazing stuff on any night of the week.</p>

<p><img class="alignnone size-full wp-image-63" title="quasimodo-image" src="http://www.10thousandbucks.com/wp-content/uploads/2008/11/quasimodo-image.jpg" alt="" width="500" height="174" /></p>

<p style="text-align: center;"></p>

<p>You&#8217;ve still got some money left over! Good for you! Be a good friend, and get some souvenir steins for your friends back at home. They&#8217;ll feel the German spirit sipping some beer out of one of <a href="http://www.steincenter.com/stein/pc/viewCategories.asp?idCategory=19">these bad boys</a>. Pick up one <a href="http://city-souvenir-shop.de/online/Shop/Berlin/Souvenirs/Ampelmann-Floor-Light-Lampenmann-green::703.html">traffic light man</a> and I&#8217;d say that&#8217;s 10 grand well spent.</p>

<p>After your exhausting day of spending and schmoozing, you&#8217;ll want to relax (in style, of course). After all, only the best will do when you&#8217;re ready to hit the hay. We&#8217;ve found some of the swankiest <a href="http://www.nh-hotels.com/nh/en/hotels/germany/berlin.html" target="_self">hotels in Berlin</a> for you to choose from &#8212; you&#8217;ll be sound asleep before you can say &#8216;Gute Nacht&#8217;!</p>

<p>Grand total: $9900</p>
