Aussie reveals ‘insane' details about Berlin's infamous club
Berghain is renowned for it's elusive door policy, hypnotic techno and no-phones anything goes atmosphere, but an Aussie influencer has recently revealed all about exactly what happens inside. Jacki, 29, posted a video on TikTok and explained all of the scandalous scenes she witnessed inside after gaining access to the club that is infamously hard to get into. Berghain's black-clad dress code and tough door policy reflect its roots in Berlin's queer underground, aiming to protect freedom, anonymity, and self-expression. She shared a video of her outfit alongside her friend Jesse which consisted of a short black skirt, cropped black top and black gloves while Jesse wore a see-through vest and loose black trousers. In a separate video she revealed every detail of her night at Berghain, addressing her followers while she did her make up. 'Once the guy told us we looked a little bit boring but he waved us in, the next thing you do is go through bag check . . . the entrance fee was $29 which I thought was kind of a bargain compared to what I think you would pay in a club that big,' she explained. Her first surprise was that most club-goers had an entirely different, often skimpy, outfit to wear once they gained entry to the club in a 'locker room' area which you enter after the bag check. 'Some of these outfits people got into were kind of insane, there were girls in lingerie, maybe just a g-string, nothing on top. Certain guys were getting full nothing on, full everything swinging, hanging out.' Berghain has a strict no photos or videos rule, their Instagram profile on has one post - a picture of the iconic sign.

'There's also two different dance floors, one super techno one and one more slightly disco, EDM one at the top, no words or anything like that but one's a little more dancey and one's super heavy techno,' the 29-year-old said. The Aussie pair entered the club in the late afternoon having had one drink, but were surprised how cheap the bar was at such a famous club. 'So once me and Jesse got in at about 5pm we were basically sober . . .so we went straight to the bar. The drinks were really affordable, it was like seven euros for a drink and three euros for a shot,' she continued.

'There were people having a threesome on these stairs, fully naked, in broad daylight . . . I saw a lot of that, girls, guys, two, three, four, all over the club,' she said. She also explained some of the infrastructure that is built inside the club where sexual acts were also taking place 'There was these boxes, big boxes, like you could fit three four people standing up in them, there was an alleyway of six of them lined up, there was a different group of people in each one of these boxes and there were different acts happening in every box, full bright light you could literally look in . . .it was insane.' Jacki revealed her outfit to her followers before she tried to get into Berghain.

'Also this is so random but inside they sell bananas and ice cream as food. So there's people who go in there and stay for two, three days and literally eat banana and ice cream while they're there,' she said. The video quickly went viral, amassing more than 400,000 views on TikTok and was flooded with comments; some sharing that they had witnessed similar scenes, while others judged the influencer for exposing what she saw. 'I'll never forget what I witnessed in the bathrooms,' one person said. 'Berghain is a queer kink club . . .it's hard to get into because of people like you who go in and treat it like a zoo and shame people for doing kink in a kink dedicated space. Not cool,' another added.

Readers share how the responsibility of a pet impacted their lives
Has a pet ever changed your life? Phoebe Thorburn recently wrote about their experience of committing to a big dog breed, after yearning for canine companionship. This is what you had to say about what your own big dogs and how pets have impacted your life. Many of you said the bigger breeds were worth a bit of extra effort. After four bigger dogs — over 30 years — I can confidently say that they are brilliant after four years of age and so worth the perseverance that Phoebe is showing. — Jennifer I fully understand the terrible childhood and adolescence phases, but adulthood is a dream. I wish people could understand this. In my dad's retirement village, they could have dogs "no bigger than handbag size". Whenever I would visit there was constant yapping from some unit or other. Hardly peaceful living. I often couldn't find our big dog in our own house. He'd be laid quietly somewhere. Rarely even a bark. — Marje Fantastic once he grew up and stopped chewing everything and getting into mischief. — John We had an Irish wolfhound and for two years … no amount of training helped [control his behaviour]. Then, it's as if someone flicked a switch and he became the most loving, well-behaved dog. His name was Fingal and we'd love to give him one more hug — Jacki Greyhounds and their laziness — despite a propensity for zoomies — were just one of the breeds that got a special mention. I have two rescue greyhounds and have had the breed as pets for the last 15 years. They are a wonderful dog to have for your mental health. They lie on the couch and just want to be near you, with bursts of energy and zoomies in between. I've always loved bigger dogs, but we don't have the space for very active dogs that need a lot of exercise. — Michele [I have] always owned little dogs. Last year we adopted a large retired male greyhound. We can't leave food on the edge of the bench in case he feels snacking, but I would definitely recommend a greyhound to anyone. They are the loveliest breed of dogs and really low maintenance — Jenna My greyhound may eat like a horse, but definitely not a high-energy dog that requires a lot of space like people think! She's happy with the occasional walk and backyard zoomies. — Chloe Big dogs are the best. Gentle giants. Especially when you have invested the time to train them and really understand and know them, but their short life spans are absolutely heart-breaking. — Theresa We have a 43-kilogram Swiss shepherd. He's looks like a wolf and eats like one, too. He is the most challenging dog I've ever had the privilege of having. His hair sheds and invades every square inch of our home and cars, but he is my heart. Fiercely loyal and protective, he is a happy joyful soul, and worth every single penny we spend on him. When he jumps on the bed or on the couch and this huge fluffy bear of an animal plonks down beside you and puts his head on your lap or your arm and snuggles in, there's no feeling like it. — Suzanne Some of you shared your less conventional pathways to pet parenthood. I now have a new love: a rescue rabbit. Running wild on the streets of a small coastal town, my daughter successfully captured the emaciated and scarred rabbit. She had been running wild for months, and was probably dumped, as efforts to locate an owner were fruitless. Called Bon Bon, she is now calm, rotund, playful, and very loving. She has taught me never to underestimate even the small creatures of the world. She roams my large studio vigilantly, disliking too much change, giving new objects a disdainful shove and in extreme cases a resounding thump. Who knew rabbits are so sociable and personable? I didn't. – Danja Thanks to everyone who shared their thoughts. Some comments have been edited for clarity and brevity.
