Artists. Where?
All I can see is bar/cafe/restaurant staff grumpy and pretentious because they‘re actually artists and this is something temporary until „they make it“, but in fact... never will, because most of them are visionless, sad and limited and cannot be creative to save their lives.
For real. Many think that putting a poop on a plate is art because they “create” something, but it’s not.
Art is like any other thing, let’s say engineering. You either innovate and bring something new or not. Picasso invented cubism, but his talents were broader than that. Not every person that can make rhymes (a 5 year old can ellaborate better and more creative lyrics than “I love you, sky is blue”) and bought a guitar is a singer-songwriter.
Those are merely hobbies. If you really want to persevere, you need constant work, learning, broadening the outlook etc.
Being an artist is not more freedom than anything, any career you want to pursue.
OMG, I have one day left to show something arty to my professors for my time spent in Berlin, what am I going to do, hmm, er, let me see... I have an idea, I can take photos of people with nose rings, tattoos up their necks and huge weird earrings, they are such individuals, I'm sure no one else has done this before, I'll pay them a bottle of beer each for their time, then I'll have a gallery show in a pop up gallery and invite all my friends who will turn up for something to do or just be seen and have some fun listening to the BS descriptions of my 'art'. I'll call it Naked Fak-ed.

I will fight for Berlin until the tearing of my body! Sincerely, your active feminist Hildegard on steroids!

Leaving Berlin and Germany in 1.5 hours. Fantastic stuff! The country is overpriced, full of socially retarded people and basically with the looming recession you are better served to leave while you still have your sanity intact. The people here really are a bunch of mental cases. Not an ounce of warmth, intelligence or decency in any of them and place is full of refugee types...
In Berlin, you wake up in the morning and you want to die. Every day is the same. Disgusting local people, disgusting city, dirt, fear, depression.
I lived here for 20 years, Everything here is a routine. You wake up, go to work, go back home, day after day. The women are all a bit fat and the overall population can't hold an educated conversation. The weather is to cry for, very depressing. And to end my rant, Germans are very conceited and rude.
Got a German loser neighbour who coughs all night and leaves his window open at -8 degrees, so as to keep everyone else awake. Perfectly sums up Berliners and Germans in general: f***g idiots, with no manners and who want everyone to share their misery.
Berliners and Germans are social retards, get used to it or leave. Dont expect them to behave like normal well adjusted humans.
In Berlin, a person cannot be at least one day in peace. For example, a man on a bike hit me yesterday and when I told him not to ride on the sidewalk he spated me in the face and drove away quickly. In this stinking city, a man is experiencing many evils every day!!!
All of their tolerances are just disgusting and false advertising! The worst is the eastern part of town. Yes, I would like to get out of here but check out the apartment lasts 3 months and the removal is very expensive. When local people hear that you don't like Berlin, they start telling you to get out of here immediately. Of course I want to get away from here as quickly as possible, but not everything goes so fast! In the whole five years, I have experienced nothing positive in Berlin. The worst experience here is for me bullying at work! Bullying in Berlin is in the daily order. After five years, I feel mentally ill. I don't even go out and I don't want to even look out the window. At the end of this spring, perhaps I will finally leave this hell! Getting out of psychological consequences will be very hard I believe. I have never experienced so many evils in any other city. Even in New York, people can talk normally. Just in Berlin man lives like a monkey in a cage! I really hate Berlin!
Today, I was sitting quietly in a restaurant, eating & reading a newspaper. When some guy comes along, grabs his arm around my head to reach for his coat that was hanging behind me. After he grabs behind me, he says something along the lines of 'Can I just lean in for my coat'. Couldn't he say something first, and THEN reach for his coat? What's the deal with invading other people's personal space and bothering them, all the time??
To the original poster - sell your furniture and just leave. F**k the deposit. You have 3 months notice, and your deposit is probably 3 months of rent. Throw the key into the landlord's post box and leave. 5 years is a long time. You will also need some time to build a new life in a new city / country. So, the sooner the better.
I‘m from Berlin and I hate Berlin! A gleam overlays Berlin and depresses the city and the people living in it. It’s demotivational, very hard to find motivation to do something
in Berlin. Worst of all, it’s social disconnection. At the surface have 1-10 heavy jokes, 1-5 drinks, but within deep at their hearts people have fear to connect to others, it’s just not the culture. Social disconnection —> another depression. “Berlin is an illness” - Love the saying. Moreover, hating energy. Hating here, hating there, hating everywhere. Last but not least, a city of loafing/lazing. People come here to loaf as laze. Loafers and lazers like Berlin. I like to work on something, to achieve something that’s important to me, to progress, not the energy in Berlin for that at all. I hope I’ll be at another place soon! Best wishes to everyone!

Crazy, Berlin better than Madrid
"Our lives in madrid are defined by violent spaces, precarity, trauma and in general so many difficulties for us to have a good and healthy life. This last year that just ended gave us possibility of moving to Berlin, a change of life, the chance to just escape the toxic air, the bad energy flux and dust of this city. "
Both are without money, with useless education and they think that moving to Berlin will solve all their problems. It won't.
"4. Up to 1000: All said before, plus a private skype styling session with Sheherezade and/or a private skype lesson on basic sound mixing by Irene, and a exlusive brand new pantie signed by her."
Yes we really need more basic sound mixing lessons here.
A tip for the ladies, get an education. It doesn't have to be anything fancy. Go learn a trade or anything. Just do something with your lives.
There are so many losers in Berlin, it's unbelievable. Even people who seem to be totally fine from the outside turn out to be some miserable, boring, self-centered losers. No worldly professionals here. No 'work hard, play hard'. It's just 'work mediocre and don't play at all, just stay boring'.
How is it in other cities as for standing in the way? People stand in the middle of walking space. It' s such a mess. Same with gettin in and out of public transport, I find it very slow while at the same time hectic. When a tram is about to arrive but still a good distant away, everybody gets itchy.
In this extremely tolerant city, an eleven-year-old girl committed suicide for bullying at school. Bullying is here, in my opinion, but on a daily basis all over the place. If you live here you have to get used to the constant bullying! Berliners love bullying! www.berliner-zeitung.de/berlin/selbstmord-einer-elfjaehrigen-toedliches-mobbing-an-reinickendorfer-grundschule-31977594
