  1. the secret is to live in Munich, have a stable life, then go to Berlin to party for a weekend 2x a year. Been doing that for 8 years now, can recommend it

  2. Berlin is my second favourite city in Europe. I find it very weird how it is mostly recognized only by its craziness. I guess it’s as opposed to Germany and its culture in general. But still, I believe it’s a new generation (and their many variants) thing. Berlin is still an excellent place to visit. I feel for the residents though. There is indeed lots of addicts and homeless people further out of touristic areas. And unfortunately, cost of living became absurd. Specially rent which is pushing its generations residents out of even the outskirts of the region, when not making many of people in need of assistance from the government and nonprofits organizations.

  3. Noooooooooo don't join the Brandenburger alternative communities, they look like hippies, but they're actually nazis…
    That is not a joke, they are ''völkisch''

  4. This is painfully accurate. I’ve seen people going through these stages and I am happy that I’ve never experienced sth. like this myself. People were destroyed.

  5. This is disturbingly accurate, at least if you make a genuine attempt to "experience Berlin". Not necessarily all in that order and everything of that but well

  6. I've been to Berlin once. And you know what? The first guy we met, whom we asked how to get to the metro, started recommending us to visit the commune and told us what creative people live there. And a my friend who lives in Berlin recommended going for a walk in Brandenburg. I didn't go either way. Only now did it become clear to me what they both meant. :))) Thank you.

  7. I get these modern differences, but perspective is everything. While I only lived in (West) Berlin for a couple of weeks, it was 1985, and I had hitchhiked there from Hof, or Cottbus in the South, which those DDR border guards were not really thrilled about, so when I finally got there, and made new friends and our favorite Kneipe never closed…it was truly an oasis.
