Honestly, I can't stand Berlin. BUT - I also have to offer an alternative perspective. I keep meeting Russians who endlessly complain about Germany. They go on and on about how they can't find a good job here, can't find a good man, can't find friends, don't have any perspectives. I understand. But you know what? I didn't like it where I lived and therefore I LEFT. What's the point of living YEARS in a country that you hate? Seriously.
had you had as ridiculous requirements to be even just let into another country as us, you would have shut up right freaking now, you stupid dumbfuck. Do you have ANY freaking idea how hard it is for us? And then once you have fulfilled all those insane requirements, achieved the unachievable in terms of education, foreign language speaking ability etc. it's kinda HARD to just throw away smth you have worked SO INSANELY HARD to achieve. That's why we are reluctant to leave this idiot even after realising it is a shithole, you stupid overprivileged prick. So yeah, bitch, everyone is equal, but some (you, apparently) are more equal than others. So check your privilege, asshole.

I think a lot of foreigners feel stuck here. I personally knew people from Italy, Iran, Syria, Russia and Spain who hated it here but felt trapped because they had worked so hard to get as far as they had gotten in Germany and didn't want to give up. This, despite the fact that they all realise that living in Germany isn't so great.

That's the reason I stayed in Germany as long as I did. I had worked my butt off to try and aquire a reasonable level of the language, as well as getting set up (an apartment, teaching certification, job applications etc). I stayed on because I didn't want all this effort to go to waste. In the end, severe mental health issues drove me away.
from the Russian commenter: same here; in the end, all I got was depressed; lost all my health, my time, my love of life, and my vitality; I don't want anything anymore and I cannot enjoy life, although objectively now it is better than it used to be;
I feel for you, mate; don't lose hope; never give up
To the Russian female genitals - you don't have to insult people. I understand that it's hard for you. I also understand that it sucks here. Stop with your insults and your bitchiness. Do you know how many people are in the same situation as you? I still don't want to hear any more Russians complaining about everything, portraying themselves as some kind of misunderstood geniuses, and bothering other people with their life stories.
to the phallace face hating on Russians: watch this, bitch

I wrote the fourth response to the original comment. Welcome! I'm from Western Australia myself. I lived in Germany last year and I have to say that life there came as a big shock to me. I had good times and bad times but decided to get out in the end. I have spent some time in Russia and liked it very much, and enjoy meeting Russians. I am sorry to say that my Russian isn't so good. Thanks for your well wishes earlier in this thread. I began to feel better a couple of months after leaving Germany and returning to Australia. No doubt it has plenty of issues but I think I know where I'd prefer to be.
Look at the big picture, somehow you ended up here because you believed that some stuff sucked where you were before. Harsh truth that we all should all realize is how the entire planet sucks and for god’s sake don’t reproduce like it is a must. The only positive aspect of living here is assuring that being a family is so overrated, for those who are not planing about leeching on the welfare state
I do work in global corporate company. I don’t have to interact with Germans %90 of time but %10 I have to because there are some projects which Germany location is included.
Global roll outs never work in Germany because the Betriebsrat (working council) must be included each time. Why? Because one German is concerned about his / her privacy at work. The rest of the world works in harmony but Germany can’t.
Also Germans are unable to work in global environment/projects. They bad mouth about some other people who are also working in project. I mean things like X is lazy or Y was crying like a baby( I am not kidding) to complete a task etc These things can lead to HR case in any other country but in this place these just laughed at.
They also can’t understand things quickly like If something needs to be done in agile way, we spend weeks to explain things to our German colleagues. Afterwards concept of agility disappears.
Since I started to work here, I understand why this country is following technology like a decade behind. They can’t adapt to changes and they don’t want to advance in their life.
I work at a big hotel.And always the owners bring their children into the kitchen.While everyone is working(carrying heavy things,plates.teller or cooking or using knife.Not a safe place to let ther children run around.They are like from 6months to 5 years old and 4 kids maximum).Own the hotel does not mean that they can use the busines property as a pravate purpose every morning.And many times they let the waiter and waitress to look after the baby and kids.I have never seen this kind of wierd thing any other countries.
1.They are wierd let toddler and kids near the industial coffeemachine,A box of broken glasses and plates and kitchen where at least 3 big pots of boilijg stock.
2.They are wierd that can not sepatatr private and work.
3.They are bad becsuse they act like some king and queen in a small kingdom.and treat their employee as personal servant or slave.The dutirs of floor staff does not include baby sitting every day for free.
If you dont like it then leave.
This should be Berlins new motto because germans spit it out on command when they have no other argument.
Gee I would leave, but I have no money to because your amazing, cosmopolitan facade of a xenophobic society bankrupted me. It’s basically an amusement park for crack heads
its kinda funny. we managed to save some money to leave Berlin and there is NO WAY I will not leave. We did not save much but should be enough to get out of here. And people are like: what if you want to come back? well, you can come back anytime.
I already know I will never come back to live here, only to see the contrast of how shite it is here to where I will be. but even if I did wish to move back: how? it would not even be possible, seeing how pooping the pay is and how expensive the apartments. it's a bad joke.
On vacation, sitting at a patio. Some German has to come and sit directly across from me facing me. I’m not sure if you remember but I posted a month ago about my experi now with a Cherman while traveling which went as a nightmare. If this persons trying talk to me I would just say “kein deutsch hier bitte”
Normally love reading brutal attacks on German culture but this was a hard read, especially since it was accompanied by her picture.
www.exberliner.com/features/opinion/dating-in-berlin/
''Maybe you won’t have that much money, but what you’re lacking in money you’ll make up for in ambition and drive.''
''This is what will happen to you: You’ll start dating a really, really, REALLY freaking ugly guy – ugly and stupid and boring and POOR. (And I am a socialist. I don’t think poor is an insult by the way, I just think if you’re rich it kind of maybe makes up for your being ugly, but no, this guy is POOR AS FUCK.)''
''It’s bad enough that no Berlin boy is looking for love, ever, it’s kind of unbearable that these ugly boring bastards wear their anti-relationshipness on their sleeves like it’s some kind of war medal. Not wanting love is a badge of honour in this cold, dark, loveless city. There’s no chance of anyone finding love in Berlin. But who needs men anyway, hey girls?''
I would never ever date such a fat and fugly, feminsit, full of hate, berlinified Wh*ore and I'm not even German. fornicate her.
Online dating in Berlin is like walking through a chamber of horrors. Either people turn up looking absolutely filthy or they look and appear normal but once you start talking to them you sense so many mental issues that you get really scared. On some of the dates I have been on I was seriously worried about my own mental health listening to the gibberish of some of those retards. Honestly - who would date such neurotic and negative morons?
I have been following her articles on that page for a while. Seems to be a British expat (now) single mother who looks like a slob (she always uses that same picture for all of her posts, maybe she could clean up better - who knows). Not exactly a great catch. Plus she writes for the Exberliner and can't even form a coherent sentence for shit.
omg, look at the state of that man hating femenazi beached whale. if a man wrote an article like this about women he'd be phucking crucified. someone actually published this dross.where have all the good men gone? they've ran a mile away from you and your type sweetheart. totally deluded!
Hey someone told me there was a protest against wearing masks in Berlin. Do you know when another lockdown will happen by any chance? Supposed to fly out and say sionara on the 29
I don't remember. I think they sealed off the borders in march without much warning, maybe a couple of days. As far as I remember the airports never closed but a lot of flights were cancelled. I don't think another lockdown is going to happenn though, at least bot soon.
Someone down below the comments said that Germans are both stupid and jerks, and that my friends, it’s the perfect combo to summarise your average Hans and Hilde.
They’re a bunch of uneducated, brainwashed, frustrated jerk that think spiting hate makes them superior.
I was shocked when I came here (for a job) by the stupidity that these people displayed not only with nonchalance but also in an arrogant, condescending matter.
My mind was blown on how is that even possible, and left flipping the middle finger quickly that job, but further down I noticed it’s a common trait of this nation, now I am not shocked anymore, I got used to it.
This site as saved my sanity, it's so good o know that it's not just me who is feeling mental torment in this so-called 'city'. It stinks of ppisss and sshittt. I've never seen so many beggars in any other city in the world. It's way over-priced and the art-scene here is one huge wank-off. I'm out of here in 3 weeks and I'm counting the days. I've wasted three years of my life here.
Why is there no ac anywhere in this shithole? Its so hot but these people are too cheap to get proper ventilation and cooling
Ich Ficke alle Deutsche in den Arsch, ihr seid dreckige Hurenkinder.
Fuck Germany !
Even though I agree to criticise Berlin on this site I don't agree with the aggressive language in the OP. If you use language like this you are not better than the uneducated inhabitants of this city. To me it sounds like language that an uneducated Turk or Arab would use.
I just came here to say f"ck Germany.
Full length mirror zu teuer
Ach vee are zo zuperiorrr ve cannot dress ourselves
Can germans go anywhere outside of Germany without being completely creepy? No. Their vibe is even more intense when they are in a foreign place.... barfb
