In ten years, nobody will care that you had superficial relationships with them at some dumb parties. They aren’t your real friends anyway. You’ll have wasted yourself. The main thing Berlin taught me was to seperate myself from fake people and take care of myself. When I stopped doing drugs and partying just for a break, all my “friends” disappeared. What followed was a year of loneliness and a sobering reality of Berlin. Berlin is good in small doses. But not for a life
What is it with Germans and white walls? Why can they not have colours on their walls.
And what is that freaking raufasertapete shit? Just prepare the walls so you can paint them directly
I do hate that their walls, door frames and sideboards are all painted white. It really doesn't give a home or quality feel to it. It sort of burns your eyes and feels really cold without wood sideboards or wood door-frames same with the windows. But I have experienced German coloured apartments, lets say they like weird patterns and colour combinations such as: blight orange and bright blue or green. Pink with yellow and other horrifying colour combinations.
Its funny how they have state mandated "quiet hours" in germany. every aspect of your life is controlled. Socialism may seem cute in theory, but if you come from a place where you like having autonomy over your decisions, opinions and future, you will hate it in berlin. berlin is for stupid people.
do you ever walk in berlin and turn a certain corner and a wave of darkness just plows over you,? you can feeel the dark energy in certain places. last time this happened to me, I was walking by the Die Welt balloon. Later to read this was where the wall had been, death strip
The first time I visited berlin, I arrived alone at night. On the walk to my hotel, I actually started crying from how creepy and scary it looked. Turned out I was just walking down what counts as a normal street in kreuzberg. That should have been my warning but I was fooled by the hype.
Germans: 0/0
"When I find someone who is highly intelligent, it is because they are able to connect the seemingly unrelated variables and come up with a logical answer faster than the majority of the people, across multiple disciplines and topics.
If you want to tell if someone is intelligent, I would advice to talk to them and pay attention to a few things:
How they process information: If you are arguing about something, an intelligent person will lay on the table all the variables he can think of to justify their answer. They will almost always be able to come up with multiple hypothetical scenarios and run them in order to make their arguments consistent.
How fast they process information: Not only will someone intelligent be able to come up with multiple scenarios and go through them, but they will also do it faster than the average person.
They will be able to discover patterns that are hard to see: In a general sense, someone who is intelligent will be able to draw conclusions from a set of variables by trying to establish some patterns. In addition, they will also criticize their own ‘pattern building’ process in case more information is needed to draw meaningful conclusions. Sometimes the answer they may give you is that there isn’t enough data to lay out solid conclusions, so they will avoid making incorrect assumptions.
They will have solid foundations to build knowledge: First principles are crucial for developing solid knowledge. An intelligent person will grasp the first principles solidly and they will go back to basics to assess the feasibility of a hypothetical scenario.
Bias awareness: An intelligent person will be aware of conscious and unconscious biases. Part of this is developing methods of battling biases and diminishing their effects.
Humble approach: An intelligent person will approach information from a place of ignorance, not of arrogance. Coming from a place of ignorance and absorbing new knowledge this way allows to build unbiased conclusions. Usually, the more you know about something the better you get at estimating what you DON’T know. This is why it is common to see prominent scientists showing humble traits when they talk about their field of study.
How they speak about facts: One thing about intelligent people is that they hardly ever see topics as black and white, as most things in life are complex, and usually involve a large number of variables. So intelligent people will usually avoid generalities and hard statements unless the evidence is significant.
Empathy: Lastly, someone who is highly intelligent is able to step into different positions and get a good view of why people do the things that they do. Based on this empathy, they will assess behavior from a balanced viewpoint."

Can I just say my internet connection is absoluteShit
What pisses me off is, Germans get treated like kings all over the world. Even though, they started two world wars and are still racist, rude, xenophobic, hateful..... with no character the list good go on and on, they simply are not likeable. My question is, why do they get treated so good everywhere ? People should hate them to the core and put them in jail as soon as they enter another country for their bad behaviour.
there is a myth of "german efficiency" and "germany has free schools, germany has blah germanyy has blah blah" which im pretty sure has been plastered all over the internet by some kind of propaganda service. Considering we pay a "tv and radio tax" as the STATE CONTROLS THE MEDIA, "solidarity tax" among all the other taxes... hey why dont we hear more about that? about how its illegal to swear at someone, about how your dog is taxed, how about racism backed up and encuraged even in istitutions?
no, its propaganda, and we all believed it. and thats why we moved to berlin.
Posting this again for any newbies or even oldies here. Call them.
I usually post this once per year. It saved me many thousands of Euro on insurance during my time in Berlin, and I actually needed an operation that cost €7000 and all I had to pay was about €150. www.care-concept.de/expatriates_eng.php I hope it helps you.
The insurance is only €54 per month, but it is only available for 5 years.
Don't get ripped off for €250 or more per month with fast talking insurance saleswomen.. Also it's OK for getting visas. But just check, it might be only for self employed like I was. Call anyway and ask them, all their plans are very cheap as long as you are under 66 years.
Why, in Berlin of all places, would packages be left with neighbours? This city is full of crack heads who have no money.
But of course nothing in Germany makes sense
About 7 million people get Hartz IV benefits, of which 2.2 million are unemployed.[3] The budget is estimated to be 20 bn euro.[4]
The Hartz IV reforms formed one of the main foundations of Germany’s subsequent economic boom.[5]
In April 2018, 55% of the recipients had a migration background. According to the Federal Employment Agency (German: Bundesagentur für Arbeit) this was due to the migrants lacking either employable skills or knowledge of the language.[6]

I guess they forgot to add who was paying for these partty tourists.
We are so naive to work in Germany as expats seriously. You work for German government, adult students(30+) who don't know what do to with their life and people who don't bother to work. What does remain for you after your hardwork? Peanuts.
They say BUT bla bla bla free health care (argumentative quality) bla bla bla free education. I simply don't care about any of them because I am not willing to settle down. All I see is %40 - %50 deduction from my hard earned money.
Right, it’s just all poop working here. You have no money at the end of the month. If you are unfortunate to work with Germans that means you are bullied or put through unnecessary stress. I hard a few Germans say it was easier to be on benefits. I was green when I started working here but now I fully understand.
I took nasty panic attacks from Berlin because of bullying at work! People in this city are not ok. I mean, if you feel this place isn't for you, then get out of here. There are many places where you can live well. Just open your eyes. What are you looking for in Berlin? When you get sick of bullying and loneliness, maybe you'll understand better what I mean. I've been out of Berlin for over a year, and I still have mental health problems. What I experienced in Berlin was really ugly.

Today I hate a Berliner that is not German...
A leech.
One of my friends unfortunately is abused by a desperate crazy Asian bimbo that wanted him to be her happily ever after.
My friend is not dumb so he is not into useless, leeching parasites that look for a saviour. Having a good heart and helping this creature once was the worst mistake of his life. She is now hateful, psychotic and on a mission to hurt him & terrorising like a uncivilized monkey...
Now, no disrespect to Asian ladies with a backbone, but we all know that type is a thing.
I hate Berlin and these tragic stories. Turns good people (like my friend) into shadows and ghosts of themselves. It’s like the psycho circus happens here.
Also, just imagine how desperate, miserable and idiotic you can be to live in Berlin and enjoy it, just to harm others. But hey, she fits in as it’s the norm to be a lowlife

This country took the joy of life out of me. The rest is not important right now but I really don't enjoy life here. This is the major harm Germany did to me.The feeling of wasting your life in this country is the worst by knowing you can't progress in life as long as you stay here
I don’t worry about anyone who is reaching their 40s ...
By that age, I expect people to gave some sense in their bones and know how to act in life, but here it seems it’s the norm to be a idiot with no purpose and not even wanting or seeing a way to progress and mature.
