"I'm visiting her in Berlin this week and she was telling me that her boyfriend was having weird digestion problems and he was always eating gross processed shit. So she told him to start eating more fruit and apparently he's really taken to it."
"I'm about to go to Berlin for the summer, and I've been asking German people for some recs while I'm there, and everything they've recommended so far I could basically already find in NYC, Best cocktail bar in Berlin?

"Forced to travel by public transport recently in Berlin almost daily because of job change from going car only. It's actually better than I feared but once a week or so I encounter a group of young Arab (and adjusted) men/boys and it feels like they are possessed by demons."

"I remember I was working for a company in Berlin a couple years ago and we had an online interview with an American Sikh. In fact, people like my Polish colleague would find the idea of someone like that identifying as a 'proud Berliner' or 'a proud Parisian' to be borderline nonsensical."
"My hag of a manager asked why. I said Germany because I want to do drugs and party in Berlin but obviously I couldn't say that. So I defaulted to 'I just really like the history there'. Instant silence."
"Ass. I'm in berlin and I can't wait to leave. This place is awful. So many rules, you need a reservation or appointment for almost everything, everyone is autistic, rude, and selfish, nothing is free, they nickel and dime you for every little thing, the city is sprawling, nobody speaks English despi"

"Smoking indoors. Pints of beer for €3,60. Pints of beer in cornerstores you can drink in the streets. Good looking women. Asians playing hop scotch on the Holocaust memorial and taking selfies. Good times all around."

"Its clear from the get go that these collectives are not collectives. They are essentially run by a small in-group of artists that have actual talent and are trying to become a breakout star so they can move to Berlin (or NYC if their parents won't bankroll a move to Europe.)"
"Putting "she splits her time between Brooklyn and Berlin/Paris/London" in your bio doesn't make you look cool/cultured, it just tells everyone that you have rich parents."

"I felt safe 100% of the time. Virtually zero drunks or dug addicts. No comparison with Berlin at all. I felt there was in general much more social cohesion. In Berlin I witnessed a brand new elevator being completely destroyed within a few months."

I've travelled to 6 countries beforehand (France, Netherlands, US, Italy, Spain, Greece) I simply cannot comprehend how rude some people here are.
