Has anyone here lived both in Berlin and Barcelona? I’m moving to Barcelona and hope I will like it. I have a Berlin-trauma

I was going to do the same before COVID, I also have several Berlin traumas. I’ve escaped out of Europe for now. I don’t think now is a good time to go to Barcelona. The economy is already bad and they are in stricter lockdown. But if you have savings try Going in the country in Spain until the pandemic blows over.

How are you able to move during this pandemic if you don’t mind me asking? Because I’m thinking to do the same. If you get the chance visit cadaques, north of the city. Salvador Dali’s house is there, and beautiful nature surrounds

I grew up in Berlin and was put on Ritalin from the age of eight to sixteen. My parents were immigrants. In 2016 I moved to Barcelona, spent 3 years in the city and now it’s my second year in small coastal town in Tarragona right by the sea. Vitamin D and the Mediterranean people will ease the the Berlin trauma!!!

Yes totally, remember as long as you don’t move to Ciutat Vella(El Raval - people like to call it the Kreuzberg of Barcelona, so you know what to expect, El Born and El Gótico) you won’t have to worry.

In other words If I would have to move back to Barcelona from the coastal village I live in now I wouldn’t mind at all to live at Camp de l’Arpa. ;-)

Bon voyage!

Give me a decent bar overlooking the ocean... hell I don't know, somewhere like The Bungalow, Camps Bay, Cape Town. Watching the sunset in one of the most beautiful parts of the world whilst sipping on a decent drink beats watching Hanz masturbate in Kit Kat.

Germans became obsessed with anti-Americanism again the second Donald Trump got elected because here it's only publicly acceptable to punch upward. It's why you'll see news orgs here use words like "incompetence" and "pathetic failure" about the U.S. response to covid while using words like "resilient" and "coordinated" when referring to Italy. It's the result of a convoluted thought process that has degenerated into believing frameworks and theories that fly in the face of reality. It's driven by ideologically driven academism with methodologies so flawed that their results "aren't even wrong" - things like the World Happiness Report where Scandinavian countries always win despite high rates of alcoholism and suicide and Transparency international where they literally rank countries by what people think of them. Or how about the WHO report that claimed that that France and Italy had the best-ranked health systems in the entire world ("Measuring Overall Health System Performance for 191 Countries", p. 18).

How do you know the people that are pushing Americanism are feeble minded ideologues? Because they don't care about injustice when their criticism is about their own country/EU 0% of the time.

Every year, hundreds of thousands of old sick people die from the flu. Anyone who believes that CV-19 is any more than a flu, probably believed USA generals about Viet Nam, they probably believe that the World Trade centre buildings were not controlled demolitions, or that a lone nut killed JFK and another lone nut killed John Lennon. So many naive people coming out of the woodwork with hyper hype about CV-19, and the suckers lap it up. It's a flu, baby.
