But lecture me more on going vegan and using recycled toilet paper, Germany. Hope the whistleblowers are heart attacked like Udo Ulfkotte.

For the country who's Motto is "Ordnung muss sein". The county who's populace will wait at a red walk light at three in the morning with no one in a hundred km radius. The country who prides itself on engineering and culture and problem solving.
Why do they allow all the bike theft. I utterly refuse to believe nothing can be done. After all, the Germans pride themselves on their order and endless rules and other aforementioned things.
So it's not that they can't do anything about it. They just don't care. I've had two bikes stolen which were properly locked and stowed within two months
I'm so annoyed I might just walk across the street on RED!
Besides the city being filthy, and full of homeless people (which I don’t blame, btw, just a fact) there’s the high taxes in this country that everyone seems to have a blind spot for. If you’re single, with no family, your mandatory health insurance is high enough to cover and entire family of four. The pension payments are even more insane and mandatory. Fine, but you don’t even see where that money goes. It’s not invested, you don’t know how much you have and you just have a government promise that when you’re old you’ll get it back. Maybe. So, kiss up half your salty good bye if you work here. Couple with the rapidly rising rents here you won’t have a lot left over.
But what really gets me is how big a dump and how many homeless people are here. Despite all the huge deductions from your salary (including social security btw) this city just seems like a wreck. And makes you ask: where the hell is all my money going?
What a joke.
Want to know why insurance here is so expensive? Go visit an emergency room anywhere in the city at any time of the day. Full of junkies and alcoholics who've ruines their lives and have nothing except substance abuse to keep them from suiciding. This city is so depressing and these people think it's normal.
I'm honestly surprised you don't hear more about MRSA in Germany but then again, I have serious doubts as to whether health professionals here are even trained or equipped to recognize it. Last year I heard a lot about hospitals in the UK and US having to completely strip hospital rooms and remove ceiling tiles to get rid of it. Meanwhile in Germany they don't even change the coverings on examination tables between patients (eww).
Just arrived back in Berlin form a wondeful Polish holiday, and straight away the mood drops. Germasn have no social graces whatsoever. What is there to be proud of in their culture, they've sold out to globalists, multi-culturalism and lefty thugs. I have three days to organize my things and then out of here. Counting the hours, I wish I didn't have to leave my room. If you're new to Berlin and you are not a drug addict, alcoholic, left-wing moron, sexist feminist or just plain boring, you soon will be..
WTF happened to berlin, it's so dirty nothing like youtube video or trip advisor. Pathetic experience.
Not much to really do here on a Sunday evening.
Skimming through job ads. Even entry level jobs in marketing companies require a degree, 2-3 years of specialized experience in something custom-tailored to the company's needs and what not. How does anyone find a job here? Smh.
LOL Germans are literally too stupid to understand what an entry level job is. Feel free to use the FILTER on linkedin for ENTRY LEVEL positions and you are greeted by a deluge of companies that want you to have 3 YEARS OF EXPERIENCE. It is literally impossible to get a job here without doing an internship, student job or traineeship in THE EXACT SAME POSITION because that way they can pay you MINIMUM WAGE for 6-18 months while they "train" you. This country is for retarded, spoiled kids who are supported by their parents or, more commonly, by the taxpayer. It is indirect subsidization of the economy and should be rules illegal by the WTO just like Airbus subsidies. Or maybe they just want to infantilize and compartmenralize everyone so when the 4th Reich arrives people will be scared to say anything because they can't see it coming or because they are worried they aren't competent enough. This country is retarded to the core.
Where would you guys move to to say saionara to Bumlin?
I've been visiting Poland a lot and love that tehre is no multi-kulti here, the Polish people are very chilled and relaxed, the cities are not too big and they are very friendly, but don't go to Warsaw. Try Poznan first, very close to Berlin. For work, I'd go to Western Germany, Denmark, Switzrlaan or Holland.
Switzerland provides much more than Germany in terms of financial s, but social life is the same, boring as hell. I don't think more money will take away the pain of living together with Germans.
Danish are very cold, racist and boring as well. It doesn't worth the cost of moving unless the job offer is great.
How so? They continue to be one of the only EU countries that is consistently growing and were smart enough not to adopt the euro which protected them a lot during the financial crisis a decade ago. Hard to blame them or any of the other eastern countries for electing populist leaders given the way the EU is conducting itself.
Even former Polish presidents warned against the conservative nationalist party and their anti-democratic agenda. They'd rather fight a tiny minority of homosexuals in the name of protecting marriage and family than address pressing issues such as the destitute health care system. Not to mention the abandoning of secularity in favor of religious orthodoxy, something that just doesn't sit well with a modern democracy.
The people in Poland are much more balanced than the far left ideologues infiltrating Berlin society. My guess is, 95% of Germans don't want different cultures imported, but are too scared to say so, in case they get mis-branded as racists by the lefty, emotional-blackmailing sheep.
I've never experienced a culture I didn't like or at least appreciate and find interesting, when I'm in the country of origin of that culture, what I can't stand is a mishmash-melange of non-compatible cultures. Diversity is not strength.
Poland is great for a holiday and the people are nice apart from some low-key racism coming mostly from elderly people. They focus on family and social relations more than careers, which is refreshing too. Still, I wouldn't want to live there, I guess. If you don't share the same values of marriage and family, you will be the odd one out. That's at least what Polish people in Germany say.
Was this one of you guys?

I doubt it. I read the post an responses.... that person is still not able to understand that the city is messed up....also they are bing fed with false information on the posts there that Berlin is ok... people on this site already understood that its Berlin and its people that is the problem.
He has achieved enlightenment. So happy for this guy.
"edit: Thank you all, I didn't expect many responses. I typed this rant during a drunk and lonely 4am morning after a bad day at work.
I decided to leave Berlin, I miss my friends and family and I think this is a junction of my life.
I wish everyone who read this, and everyone who lives in Berlin, a very nice and happy life."
Berlin is a filthy dump full of people who are too quick, too sheltered or too stupid that they continue to defend the cities obvious failings. Every trip outside feels like I am wading through a sea of cigarette butts and trash. The city constantly stinks like rubbish tips filled with the bodies of dead, crack addicted hobos. All the women here seem to have massive daddy issues or issues with their parents. Everything is subject to a contract that requires 3 months notice to end, Anmeldung is pointless poop to keep lazy people employed. Same with Abmeldung.
But mostly, it's just the piss poor attitude of the people who live here. The supposed high ideals of the environmentalists who will protest while smoking a cigarette and flicking the butt to the ground the moment they are finish. Burn it down and start again!
I keep getting recruiters sending me job offers in Berlin for jobs I DID NOT APPLY FOR! It appears this site is working! YAY - that OR many expats in Berlin are seeing the light and packing their bags and leaving. I - for one - wont be returning to germany or Berlin or falling for their tricks. These companies should be sued: they knowlingly entice expats into that hellhole of a city - shame on them.
