...
germans and Turkish, living side by side, countries that committed the genocides....tell me is this why germany celebrates them and allowed them in? what is the history of that relationship, seems like a strange mix
Germans are so dumb they think I will give them my permanent address outside of the country to send my abmeldung... You fuckers won’t be able to control my life once I leave... as if I would give you a real address! Imbeciles
I have to fly back into Berlin from canada to get the rest of my things. The German consulate here is saying you have to be a German citizen to enter, but I’m EU, have anmeldung ... is this accurate ?
just imagine what kind of children will be there in Berlin in the future from those forever young peter pans? Or maybe they decide to not have any..
I wasted my entire 20s in this shithole. When I think of the opportunities I missed, the people I could have met and the fun I could have had elsewhere it just makes me want to off myself. I feel like I have wasted my best years and that it's all downhill from here. Worst part is that I have almost no savings so restarting somewhere else is gonna be difficult. I am actually worries I will never be able to pivot into a normal, adult life.
I dont know if i would say the time ive had here has been wasted. I've had sh1t times but i think that is going to make me way more appreciative of good times when they come. When i think of myself before berlin i was an arrogant tw*t. And berlin has shown me that life can be fukking hard and there are people who will never accept you but you have to be true to yourself and stick to your values no matter what.
OP, this place will skew your view of what normal relationships are , what normal friendships are, make you forget your family, upbringings, goal.... it does that to everyone. It wants to swallow everyone into the group and make them think this life is normal. It breaks people. Don’t let it break you
Look I know a lot of people like that but they’re in denial. You understand what’s happening. Don’t listen to anyone around you. That’s how people get stuck for life. They know it’s been a waste, but if they’re around other wasters, with the common struggle, they stay. Also because when you leave the longer you stay the harder it becomes to adjust to another place. Get out once the corona ban lifts. Go to Lisbon or Barcelona or somewhere you can speak the language. I would rather be homeless on Sardinia caves than be poor in Berlin for a lifetime
So many lefty, SJW virtue signallers in Berlin, they make me want to puke. Gays and feminists are the worst offenders.
what was the moment you realized you had to leave Berlin and could not make a life here?
For me, it was when I discovered Germans dressed up as a hobby as "Indianers" and nobody had a problem with it, in fact laughed at me for saying it was broken up, and defended their lifestyle.
When I was working two jobs and still barely able to make ends meet. I had to think twice before buying a coffee on the street.
When I realized that I wasn't moving forward in my career as an artist (a real artist, not a degenerate addict who pretends to create art).
When I realized that dating in that city was pretty much agreeing to be in an open relationship.
When I realized how racist Germans are. The fact that I speak German fluently doesn't mean a thing.
When I realized how ugly and grey the city is, even in the summer.
When I realized that in spite of having a degree from a good German university, I wasn't getting any job offers. When I realized that Germany is not the place to be for people who are conservative, drug-free, and religious.
When I realized how much I disliked Germany.
Thank God I moved to Poland.
Well I thought I was just a maladjusted introvert until I found this site. I then spent the next few weeks reading EVERY comment on here and realized I hate everything about Germany. I realized I wouldn't want to raise a child here. That'd I would never be able to own a house here so I'll always be stuck in a tiny, noisy apartment. I realuxed that even if I had more time out of work that there's nothing here I want to do. Then I realized I hate German pop culture and have never enjoyed a German tv show, movie or book. I guess I just realized this place isn't for me and that Germans have a value system that is actually at odds with my own. Oh, and I also got sick of hearing locals throw stereotypes at me ALL THE TIME. There is a reason foreigners in Germany stick with other foreigners.
I had an artist 'friend' who I helped many times with his career, and made him many thousands of dollars by introducing him to the right people and I asked him if I could use the studio to practise my acoustic guitar late at night so I didn't disturb my neighbours and he made a big song and dance about it. Another German 'friend' ripped me off for €2,500.
They were the straws that broke the camel's back for me. I won't bore you with all the stories I could tell you about them.
im sure berlin is watching this forum wishing they could take it down but its out of their control buahahahaahaha
A lot of people are disappointed with Berlin because they didn’t know its history well. West Berlin was an island in East Germany and people got paid by the state to live there. Yes, they all lived in welfare way before the 90s. East Berlin was śhit: poverty stricken capital of ddr. People think “hey, it’s the capital of the richest country in Europe, I should go there”. Biggest mistake ever!
Germany is rotten, but if you want to come here, you choose Hamburg or Cologne or Duesseldorf or Frankfurt. NOT Berlin.
Hamburg looks cool but the vibe there is also very off!!! Cold hearted northern germans who don't like it when anyone who wasn't born or raised there to be there! cologne is a small city but seems friendlier till you actually have to live there and notice how ppl you don't even know are all up in your business because they think they have the right to be- in all honesty Germany is just not the place to be - for a short visit it's fine...living here Is hell day in and day out in most places ....germans are just like a dry slice of bread no butter no jam nothing!
What is “sexy” in Berlin is supreme trash elsewhere
So today i was riding my bike along columbiadamm and really needed to take a piss. Know its digusting and something complain about on here but anyway i thought id quickly find myself a bush to hide behind. So i park my bike and go into the trees and just as i think i find a decent spot i hear someone groan and see there is some broken up druggy sitting in the middle of the bushes. So i got the hell out of there. But christ you cant go anywhere without bumping into absolute weirdos here
I have visited many countries and traveled a lot and came across many homeless and destitute people! I dont judge them, sometimes I also help pur somebody! Thats the world has been and always will be- unfortntaely! But I have Never come across so many homeless people who seem to have lost all dignity or hygiene! Today a beggar in the U8 who smelled like...you know it..begged me for some money with blood dropping from his hand! I mean seriously..
I was coming back from a party a few years ago and I saw this guy shooting up in the station. There was a whole hallway of them I undexpectedly had to walk through at Hermannplatz. After that I wondered how much of a slippery slope that lifestyle could be for people here. I stopped taking drugs after that
How do I abmeldung if I ditched my flat? Don’t I need some retarted permission to leave from the landlord? Some dumb permission to let me leave the country lol? Or should I just keep the anmeldung open? I don’t get what to do. Cancelled all my contracts...
Or do I j go straight to the burgeramt? Let me know . Haha. I remember when I was so excited to anmeldung. Dumb challenge and biggest mistake of life. If you’re reading this - do NOT anmeldung! Just visit for a summer as a tourist, then you’ll get the full experience ! Except not the crappy winters and lifetime of xenophobia and poverty. Enjoy!
I don't think you need any permission from your landlord, you just go to the Bürgeramt and unregister - Abmeldung.
Then maybe do the same with your consulate depending on the agreement you have within your country - for example I registered with the local consulate here.
If you don't do it, yes, I've heard they fine you.
They fine you even if you fart in the wrong place in this country :- D
