I have used my drivers licence in US so Id guess it would be wallid as youre everyday id. BUT: Youll need a passport if youre travelling by air and maybe when youre checking in at the hotel, so its always best to bring it, just to be sure!
As for money; I skip larger sums and focus on 5, 10, and 20 euro bills with an od 50 for the really large sums, but more often than not youre tends to use youre credit card as the payement for larger sums. A good credit card (such as visa, Mastercard) is really helpfull theesedays!

OKay, I know it's been an awfully long while since anybody posted here, but... With the ID card thing.
Will a student's card do it in bars aso.? I'll still bring my passport, even though we have that agreement thing so that Danes can travel more freely to German and back again. But I'd rather leave it, and my health insurance card at the hotel.
Though I'd rather bring my health insurance card, in case the student ID card thingie isn't enough. So, to sum it up; is the student card enough for 'normal' ID(it's the only ID with a picture besides my passport), or should I bring the health insurance card along as well? Both state my date of birth. (and therefore shows that I am, in fact, at that time, 22 years old.)

It may, or it may not. There is no legislation that forces you to present a specific document, but if it's a card the person who wants to check your age has never seen before in his life, it's unlikely they will accept it. If I had to guess how many people living in berlin are familiar with danish student IDs, I'd say the number is probably low.
ysegrim:
Is this the international student card (ISIC)? Then my guess is, given Berlin's three universities, that your student ID will accepted (esp. as the legal age for hard alcoholic drinks in Germany is 18, and 16 for beer/wine, so if you vaguely look like 22, it's even possible that they won't ask at all). But your mileage might vary.
(As Cheetah says, while you are not required by law to show a particular ID card at a bar, if a bar lets in a minor after 22h, or if they sell them alcohol, it gets really, really expensive for them -- so they will want to be really sure that you are, in fact, adult. Same for cinemas. And, by the way, for EF, which is why we also check ID cards / passports at the reg desk.)

Correction, take a multi socket and TWO universal adapters. One to turn german sockets to your local standards, and one to convert them back again. Given how furrs tend to clump, there may not be an unoccupied mains socket where you want to plug in, and most people will not be happy about you unplugging them. However most will be willing to share, if there is a plug on your multi-socket that they can use.
