I'm doing it now. Already got my plane tickets sorted out. Handed my landlord my notice (imagine a grumpy Berliner...), talked with the insurance people, going to unregister at the burgeramt next month.

Pretty much all I got left to do is pack and wait for my time.

Been here 23 months. Posted a bit on this very site. I can't believe this is finally over. I already feel the positive energy and vigor returning. Who knew that life could be great? I'm going to a place where there's lots of sun, lots of fun people, lots of parks (without dog and human piss and shit), lots of interesting companies to work for, where the guy that sells you coffee every morning greets you by name after a week, where you become friends with your neighbors, people NOT blocking your way everywhere you walk, etc. Yeah, I know, this sounds like crazy talk after living here for close to 2 years. I keep quiet about it because I'm afraid these sad people will throw me into an institution as soon as they get a whiff that I'm leaving - and taking my dirty foreigner money with me.

This definitely put a spring into my step, which is pissing of the locals even more - "Zat auslander, vhy is he smiling? Das ist verbotten, smiling ist only allowed betveen ze hours of 10:00 and 10:30AM, call zee polizei!".

Sure. Yeah. Whatever.

This was definitely a life lesson. Made me appreciate my country a lot more. Made me appreciate people a lot more (real humans, not these berliner-robots). I know it sounds like Stockholm syndrome, but living through this hell has been a positive experience at the end - it made me stronger, gave me a thicker skin, definitely matured me.

So good luck y'all. Make the best of this place while you're here, don't let the negative folks steal your soul, but get out at the first opportunity you get. Life is too short to suffer. Unless you're a masochist like the locals.

I don't understand the criticism. Literally no one is defending the perpetrator. And what exactly did the Germans do about it? Let the police actually do their jobs? Or jump at the opportunity to turn this into another high-profile manhunt for someone who obviously isn't your run-of-the-mill blond-haired, blue-eyed Hans? Check the recent list at Polizeimeldungen Berlin and review how long they normally wait to release footage of criminals. Hint: It's normally months. For attempted murders and rapes. But somehow the police have been able to find the manpower to process this case, and the one where the seven youths tried to set a homeless guy on fire, within days? And, in contrast to the cases that are pending for months, in both of these cases the perps are not Germans?

This is just simply wrong. I sincerely feel bad for those who view Germany this way. You don't deserve your visa. I hope life will bring you to an actual poop hole with mean and opportunistic people.

I made an argument that Germans are civilized enough to offer help to a complete stranger. I get it that this incident was politically exploited.
Enough with the politics and extreme hateful over generalizations.

Berlin is like an abusive partner who uses emotional/mental abuse to make you have stockholm syndrome. When you first arrive you don't think it is abuse because it is insidious, slow and it plays mind games with you where you believe something is wrong with you instead. The longer you stay here the more this "sickness" grows and you become someone who cannot live outside of Berlin. You are addicted to it like a junkie is addicted to heroin..

Don’t fall for it’s hipster disneyland “poor but sexy” BS. It’s a rancid apocalyptic metropolis where there is this fog of psychopathy in the air, lobotomized brain dead zombies everywhere with grim expressions on their face like they are waiting for their turn to be executed

Either lobotomize yourself before coming to Berlin, or stay here for enough years to eventually become lobotomized yourself. Expect those years in between to be filled with confusion, depression, loneliness etc.. but over time you’ll become a “real Berliner” and become a brain dead tosser dancing to ambient techno drinking club mate being a pu**sy thinking it’s cool to be 32 years old and being an emotional cripple who cannot have more than casual/superficial friendships and relationships, doesn’t know the difference between being socially awkward and being truthful (Germans) , doesn’t know the difference between irony and bad attempts at being sarcastic as a guise for just being cruel (Germans again).. ONE day, if you live in Berlin long enough, you will be as much of a passive aggressive turd as the “true Berliners”.

The Germans and their police lack empathy and compassion for abused women. I have never experienced more hostile victim blaming, shaming and ridiculing from women and men.
Neighbors only care about the noise levels versus asking if anyone needs help, young women laugh and point fingers at you while you are getting punched in public by your psycho boyfriend, gay german men hitting your head for crying.
I had only twice been asked if I needed help to contact someone I know for help. The rest of Germans and foreigners use another young woman's suffering as a free source of entertainment. No wonder mass shootings have increased.

You really have to hate strangers who angrily yell at your kid for doing something kid-like.
-At 3 years, my son was loudly berated for walking off (6 meters) with a cheap-ass synthetic pillow on display outside of a Matrazen Direct store. The workerin just came up behind him, snatched the thing away from him and started screaming. I hadn't noticed he'd taken it, but she insisted I was teaching him to steal.
-At 4, he was walking on a path through a little garden area at Upsala Kinderklub. A worker started yelling at him because he assumed the plants would get stepped on. I had my bilingual son translate what I wanted to say back to the guy, then I did some yelling back. My boy said, "You sure told HIM something" xD
- At 6 he pulled one of those levers that send a loaf of bread down a chute at Edeka's bread-o-mat. Only after the lady there realized I didn't want to buy that loaf did she start squawking at my kid. Can't people pick on someone their own size?
I visited this site not to tell these stories, but because I wanted to share my methods for turning my hatred for Berlin into a kind of acceptance. I am stuck in this city after all, because I can't take my kid back home (deutsch mother, divorced). I got distracted by other people's stories. And I think maybe I don't accept it. I have no method. I think I am just becoming numb.

Yeah, this really goes up in the winter. I guess it's because it's dark, cold, and miserable outside. Of course, no german will ever confirm this, they'll stick to "Im honest and direct" even if you put a gun to their head.

Look in the mirror, the genocide happened under European colonists/settlers. Quite a bit of it may have been accidental, such as spreading illnesses the native Americans were less adapted to. German ancestry is the largest European ethnic ancestry in the US and at one time German was the second most commonly spoken language in the US until it was forcibly removed from public use and discouraged due to WWII. Also, keep in mind European settlers did the same throughout the Americas, including Canada and all of Latin America.

The reason a large percentage of Americans are obese has to do with the way the cities are structured, requiring a car to get around, and the prevalence and low cost of junk food (an issue other developed countries, including Germany, share as well), not thanksgiving. If you spend time in NY, a city more similar to European ones where most people walk and take public transport, you'll notice most people are not obese and look healthy, eat healthy for the most part, and dress well.

Pretty Much all my research show German ancestry as nearly 50 million with African next at 41 million, Irish at 35 Million, Mexican at 32 Million and English at 26 or so million. So if you bunch up Irish and English then yes, more from the isles then from Germany. Definitely a lot of German Ancestry in the US but maybe due to many babies more than number of immigrants.

Nobody "inflicted" black friday on anyone - Germans are just trying to steal it, just the same as they are trying to steal rap and hip hop culture (love me some blonde german guys trying to talk like black rappers), super hero movies, fast food...

This is what really hit me - why are Germans trying to steal all the worst parts of the US culture? Like sure, they'll steal black friday which is freaking awful, but they won't steal stuff like being pleasant to people or getting to know your neighbors, which is really nice.

So, you don't want black friday? Then stop trying to imitate it! You know what I hate about you berliners? When you use english phrases like "Ah, ok!" or "Ah, wow", or "ah, oh my god, das ist...". Just stop, ok? It makes you sound retarded.

Oh, also, I really like your usage of "dumb americans". I have never met a culture that is so "besserweisser" or however you call it. You've got Berliners that have spent a week in NYC (shopping, because they are cheapskates) talking about the USA as if they spent 20 years there, traveling, meeting people, learning. They know all about it - how the education system sucks, how the healthcare is bad, police brutality, etc. And their favorite: everyone is fat!

Great! Then stop coming over, do your shopping in the UK or China. You know, one thing I dislike are the dumb german tourists. See, they've been coddled up until being around 30, so they biologically they are adults, but mentally they are about 15-16. Sure, they have phds and masters degrees and are "herr engineer" or "frau doktor" and all that stuff, but here's some childlike stuff that I've seen dumb german tourists do in nyc:

- try walking from manhattan to brooklyn because "how far can it be?", then calling 2 hours later and crying "vee are lost, vee are scared, vee've run out of vater, help us!"
- unable to comprehend sales tax (it differs from state to state, even from city to city)
- unable to comprehend leaving a tip ("but I left them a 25 cent tip, why did they throw me out!?")
- being terrified of everything - I once saw a german family holding hands (for fear of getting lost) and refusing to let go even when going through the subway turnstiles), approaching food vendors as if they were lepers, etc.
- just standing in the middle of the sidewalk, eyes upwards...
- ... then getting pushed to the side by someone in a hurry...
- ... talking about how rude americans are. Jesus christ, just don't stand in the middle of the sidewalk, people are trying to get somewhere, you're blocking them.
- being smelly. I poop you not, but germans don't like using deodorant. It's hard to catch this outside, but if you get on a plane going to germany that's full of germans... getting ready for some major stink.
- doing the whole german noise thing - snuffling, sneezing, gurgling, farting, burping, just being disgusting. Especially visible (audible?) in restaurants.

But it's all ok because these people all have PhDs! They're "smart"!

I am sorry, "Peggy", but a tattoo and a piercing won't hide the fact that you weigh 100 kg.
