In most big cities like London, Madrid, Brussels or Hamburg, you meet with colleagues for some drinks. But Berlin doesn't have any big companies. It's share of self-employed people and small enterprises is much higher than anywhere else. So financially everybody is on edge. And most people aren't affluent at all. Then add a substantial segment of really poor people living from entitlements of the state. It's a pity that in Berlin you won't ever hear lively chatter among 30 year old professionals in pubs and bars, filing out of their offices and enjoying life. These are the people who splurge on culture, fashion and art. These are the people who have careers.
Many local cultures make a virtue or "principle" out of a given fact. Correspondingly, Berliners hate normal corporate professionals and their lifestyle because Berlin hardly has any, yet. I'm sure one day one of its start-ups will grow massively and generate this professional class. Until then, it's a bad place for anybody aged 25-45 who wants to get along and get ahead. Until then, its horrible Brandenburg roots and harsh ever-present historical wounds will remain essentially un-transformed. Bourgeois, liberal working people are like tranquilizers and anti-depressants that Berlin direly needs.
That work colleagues usually don't meet for drinks is rather a german thing than a berliner thing. It's in their logic not to mix things up, each person has it's own designated place. I was surprised to see that this is also the case for younger people ...
Berlin is not for bourgeois, liberal working people who pay taxes and have a sense of humor, common sense and social skills. Berlin is a city for layabouts, losers, bums, slackers, sh*t wannabe artists, alcoholics, drug addicts, people with personality disorders, people with very poor social skills. Germans are basically collectively autistic, so if you have horrible social skills/low empathy, you'll do well in Berlin. Berlin is at least 10-15 years away from any kind of transformation to become a cosmopolitan city. I think it will actually get worse as Islamisation and ghettoization increases. Imagine Berlin as ugly and depressing as it is, but with no go zones.
Aziz, no start-ups will ever get off the ground in Berlin :o))) Be honest, you know that.
To the previous post, you are absolutely right on the money, you my friend have nailed it, a hole in one, ONE HOONDRED AND EIGHTY!!! A perfect 147 (Snooker) a straight sets win. Brilliant!!!! You deserve the BLN-HTR April award for succinct brevity.
Mein Name ist "Hellen Karin". Ich bin 68 Jahre alt und 42 Jahre alt. Mein Mann hat mich und meine vier wunderschöne Tochter für eine jüngere Frau verlassen und ich war am Boden zerstört. Als er im folgenden Monat nach Hause kam, sagte er mir, er wolle sich scheiden lassen. Es war, als hätte sie ihn in einen bösen Bann gezogen, mein Mann wandte sich über Nacht ohne Vorwarnung gegen mich und ging am nächsten Morgen des Tages wieder, als er zurückkam. Es geschah am 3. Mai 2001, als meine älteste Tochter das Abitur abschloss. Ich war verzweifelt und weinte jede Nacht. Bis ich eines Tages meine Klassenkameradin besuchte, die im Ruhestand ist, aber glücklich verheiratet ist und 6 Kinder hat. Wir haben beide das College mit einem Studiengang abgeschlossen. Ich beschließe, meine Ehe mit meiner Freundin "Norris Katherina Wellinton" zu teilen, die mir hilft, mich mit einem mächtigen Mann namens "Mr. (Adams Power Temple)" zu beraten. Als Ergebnis all seiner wunderbaren Arbeit sind mein Mann und ich wieder zusammen. Ich bin so glücklich mit meiner Familie und habe heute fünf Enkelkinder. Drei wunderschöne Mädchen und zwei wunderschöne Enkelkinder. Wir sind so glücklich mit einer großartigen Familie und dank "Norris, die mein lebendes Zeugnis ist." Norris Katherina Wellinton ist drei Jahre älter in meinem Alter, aber ich nenne sie heute meine Patin. Sie führte mich kontaktiert Mr. Adams Power Temple "mit meinen Problemen, sagte Mr. Adams mir, dass es gut ist.

Hey, it's me again, Xeno-File, and I have found a link they prove how narrow-minded and selfish Germans are:
agm-germany.eu/about/berlin/7-reasons-why-you-should-never-go-to-berlin/
My synopsis: "You should never go to Berlin, because you would never want to leave." O.O
They think they're all better than everybody else, especially when they meet foreigners. (Even inside their own country.)
PS: I am from Germany, and I hate how narrow-minded and selfish "my" inhabitants are. I must be the biggest Germany hater between Rhine and Elbe. This is random, but i can't understand people who ask "why is Germany strong/big/rich/famous/cool...?". There are hundreds of reasons to prove the opposite.
Ha ha ha ha!!! The funniest thing is it's all true, fr a few weeks when you first get here or are on holidays, but as son as you decide to actually live here, that's when you see the reality under the glitzy lights.
Here is a quote from a poster later on, he sums it up eloquently:
Berlin is not for bourgeois, liberal working people who pay taxes and have a sense of humor, common sense and social skills. Berlin is a city for layabouts, losers, bums, slackers, sh*t wannabe artists, alcoholics, drug addicts, people with personality disorders, people with very poor social skills. Germans are basically collectively autistic, so if you have horrible social skills/low empathy, you'll do well in Berlin.

Imagine Berlin as ugly and depressing as it is, but with no go zones.
Happy Easter. Remember to have a drink every time you hear a local make a joke about searching for "eggs". In almost no time you'll be as drunk as your typical Berliner.
Sorry to double dip, but I buried this way too far back in a late reply for anyone to see it, so here it is again: Yes I know, I'm a greedy little so-and-so.
Here's the reason why so many Berlin women end up single, because no one wants to live with a man-hating Feminist, crying about rigged stats about the BS wage-gap, that is, except other man-hating Feminists ;o) We need a whole army of these wonderful women to slap some sense into them:

Hey everyone, here's some QUALITY TV, well, it's now on YouTube and it's 35 years old, but still beats anything around today. Kind of British Twin Peaks, only better.
Ep 1 of The Singing Detective - www.youtube.com/watch
Ep 2 of The Singing Detective www.youtube.com/watch
When you've finished the last episode, then switch to Pennies From Heaven, no not the Steve Martin movie, the original TV series.

1st class, both of them. You'll thank me.
Is public urination legal here? I encounter it literally daily. Even in busy places. And the people are so freaking nonchalant about it. Saw some cow today help her daughter take a leak near Zoo station on the sidewalk directly in front of f*cking high-end store. Directly next to a van full of police. Probably needed to save herself the f*cking 50 cents it costs to use a public toilet. This city is full of savages.
Here's a strange phenomenon for you. I live in an apartmne by myself, next to me are three people with two tv's three computers and a radio, and yet each apartment pays the same money to the ARD TV leeches, even thog I have no TV, no radio and don't watch any German TV on my computer. Why don't they charge per square meter, not each apartment, it's totally unfair. And what's with the extremely high insurance bills? How rich are German doctors.
Germans think television/radio is some kind of basic human right and that it fulfills some noble educational need. Yet they're too stupid to develop some kind of equitable tax scheme for it, so they opt for a lump sum tax (which, by the way, they will go to great lengths to avoid calling it a tax). Hopefully in 2-3 more years the ECJ will rule that it is unconstitutional and Germany's propaganda machine will come to a grinding halt.
German insurance is also idiotic. You're forced to pay for the shut-ins who will never be able to become part of the German rat race because 1. they are too weak-minded, anxious, scared, incompetent, unintelligent, or lazy, and 2. the German business world is a gigantic despotic factory. Funny that my insurance in the US, which every German will criticize in a heartbeat, was cheaper and offered better coverage. Not to mention that American doctors are better educated (more college required), work harder (because they can actually be sued for malpractice) and friendlier (this doesn't need explanation).
"Germans think television/radio is some kind of basic human right and that it fulfills some noble educational need."
This idiotic justification drives me insane. Under the same logic, why aren't we also forced to buy newspapers, non-fiction books, courses in the Volkshochschule and so on?
After coming to Berlin from London and Paris it feels like using the bathroom in a trainstation before I board the plane to go home, if you know what I mean. I leave this afternoon :D
Depending on the borough, one out of seven inhabitants is long-time Hartz 4 consument.
Ah yes, and the stations (U-Bahn) are demolished, piss and poop everywhere, and as a woman (or child) you're not able to travel safely without being harrassed by some migrant shit. Did I mention the airport that will never open?
Everywhere you look, you see building cranes. And Berlin dialect of German is just awful (for me, coming from a small town in Hesse). And the music and arts is awful. Everyone who can write two rhyming sentences when being drunk is considered a poet.
And here is the worst thing: "Berliners" mean to be "left-liberal" (say: green-communist), but they all wave flags when their "Fußballmannschaft" plays. That's just bigot for me...
I always wanted to travel to Paris, but i wouldn't go to Berlin again for all the tea in Turkey.
Yep.I never took a penny from the German taxpayer while working in Berln.Worked my butt off while these turds of society thought I was in some way taking from them. freaking scum of the earth.Lazy and very nasty people.And all of them willing to take what you have created because they are "Entitled" To it. Peasants the lot of them.
Peasants aren't lazy, I think you mean "Gypsies, the lot of them". What are the Muslims here feeding their teenagers, some kind of zippitty-doo-dah pill perhaps, they are constantly shouting at each other and acting hyperactive, they can't sit still for ten seconds and just chill out. And they constantly spit like camels and llamas.
Realized this country is f*cked when my ex told me stuff like this:
-parents taught her about sex at age 3
-forced to regularly bathe with brother until they were around 12 and 14 to save water
- often taken on trips to local bog to skinny dip with family, including whoever revolving door boyfriend of mother was currently
I can totally imagine the water saving part, I have been lectured almost every day on some issues regarding money saving in a shared apartment with a german. That didn't stop him from indirectly robbing me with unequal payed heating costs and other stuff.
Really.Though I am sure I would like you.You did not post my last "Thoughts"..(PRICK)
fornicate you mate,,My last post was brilliant.At least post it so I can read it when I am sober.Wr are on the same side after all.
It just struck me.Why has Berlin since the fall of the Berlin Wall not managed to become the "Capital" as it would be in any other country. Why is Berlin still a sham of a capital of Germany? Answer: Its going to be decimated again.Its still cold war guys.And who wants to invest in scorched earth. My guess is real city building will proceed after Crimea has been sorted. The (Perpetual building of airports) just let the common folk think something is actually happening.
Berlin is not a city.It is the epicenter of Democracy .Karl Marx can go fornicate himself.
