Berlin taught me how to stay calm and patient.. with all these unrespectful subhumans i would have probably ended up in jail long time ago. The thought of beating the poop out of them is firm, so for all those who are forced to stay here for some moths more (like me) keep your cool and stay strong, this nightmare will end soon.
CON ARTIST: a person who cheats or tricks others by persuading them to believe something that is not true. Berlin is a con artist city - any hype you hear about it (cool, progressive, artistic mecca, loads of successful people, multicultural, opportunities, open) are NOT TRUE. its one big CON.
Left berlin 1 year ago - was tired of the miserable inbred population, no job opportunities, aggressive bums who attack you, poop bars and losers who think buying you a beer or doener will equate to sex and general malaise of that craphole - reading the posts it seems to have gotten even worse ....NEVER AGAIN!
My friend and I travelled to Berlin after backpacking and spending some weeks in Spain. We heard all the hype about Berlin and how's the party capital of Europe. So we had to go to Berlin right. So the first stop was Berghain, we couldn't get in, that's ok, we heard that it was difficult to get inside and kind of makes sense just by looking at the length of the line. Tiny place without room for all that people. So we went and explored lame bars in Friedrichshain until it was 12 - 1AM so we tried our luck in another club and we were denied entrance once again. That was weird. We tried our luck next in some awful looking places near suicide circus. There were some hot chicks we tried to get in and guess what, denied again. I asked him what was the problem? in a calm manner to what he replied: "NO DARK PEOPLE HERE". WTF! We just tried out luck once again and nothing so we went back to our hotel room because it was almost 5AM and we had just wandered the streets trying to get inside a club. So I guess we had enough for the night. But still we tried our luck another night. We did all the day tour, we visited the landmarks (all boring btw) and we thought, well these people at clubs are weird let's go to a lap dance, fornicate it! let's do it like Vegas. So we asked our cabbie to show us a place where can we get a lap dance and he took us to some big and shiny place. We stayed in line for a little while when suddenly a bouncer approaches us in a super aggressive way and yelled at us something in German which we couldn't understand. So we ask him in English: "what was the problem" cuz we had done nothing and the guy replied yelling again: "Fuck off, you no welcome here, los! los!" he kept repeating that and shoving us to the other side of the street and when I said all angry: "Fuck it I'm leaving" the dude threw a punch and knocked me down and then the dude left. There was a police officer nearby whom we told our story (and who also saw what was happening) after hearing what we told him he just said "sorry, no english" and left. We returned to our hotel and booked a flight asap to our next destination. Because we just wanted to leave that awful segregated city, I know Berliners would love to have water fountains labeled "white" and "colored" on the streets. fornicate Berlin, fornicate Germany. I'm copying and pasting this outrage in all forums I can find. So if you read the same post in some other website that was me.
So sorry about your awful experience. I wish I could say that it was bad luck but the truth is that it wasn't... It's ok for germans to treat foreigners (especially darker skinned ones) like fuck.ing crap. For some crap reason I'll never comprehend, they think that they are entitled to it.
You are darker skinned so you gotta be a trouble maker, a dirty foreigner and so one.
I am a mixed raced young woman, I have been victim of racism at least 20 times during my 2 years in Berlin, and still counting... And guess what? Nobody gives a damn, the police won't give a darn because u don't speak grrman and even if you did; they'd diminish you saying that your german isn't good enough. Can't wait for the day I leave this hell.
German see themselves as an elite, that's why they aren't remotely interesting in mixing with other people. They havent evolved nor better themselves for shi.t sincee ww2; they have just changed target...
I have never encountered a people that can take the most simple of lifes pleasures and turn it into a deformed mangle of retarded meanness in ten seconds flat. It gets so bad you cant even venture out to do a simple thing like food shopping because you know someone will vomit their hate on you. Its such a relentless soul crushing experience..every single god darn minute of every single cursed god darn day.Dantes inferno is a kindergarden compared to this hell.AWFUL.
I thought it was just me, and after living in Berlin/traveling throughout this Country for one year, I can honestly say…these people are the WORST. Everything that it said in this forum is true to a fault. There's a reason that no one likes the Germans…even the more Well Traveled and 'Cultured' of the lot can't stand their own. To the point that I will now only associate with Germans that live in Germany Seasonally. These "Part Time" Germans are the ones that: have a real Education, speak Multiple Languages (including Business English), have rewarding Creative careers, and are Sophisticated enough to hold real conversations and are capable of Critical Thought. Then there are the "Full Time" Germans. These sorry pieces of White Trash are the ones that; have never left their little Dorfs until University, think Berlin is the center of the Universe, have never had more than ONE type of employment or none, think EVERYTHING German is better, have the Social Skills and Charm of Mayonnaise, speak only one language…and expects even Tourist to know it FLUENTLY. These are the type of Germans that are giving the Country a bad name. As far as the History…WHO CARES?!!!!! There's a Starbucks within walking distance from almost every Jewish/German Memorial…our friend 'History'…she aint present. Can we just freaking get over it and join this Century?! Nope. Because Change, Progression, Motivation are abstract concepts to Automatons. The mere thought of these tangible Ideals would mean that maybe…just maybe…the current Mentality is wrong. And we ALL know that these fuckers HATE being Wrong. This is why they won't ever change, this is why they fear Modernization, Gentrification, Globalization and Multiculturalism. It's because they have become so darn marginalized to the point that they cannot ADAPT. They are a dying Breed…just look at the numbers Birth/Suicide/Depression/Obesity/Mobility/Wages, all indicative of a people that are skating on the edge of annihilation. (Karma is a female dog no?) I've seen more protest for Refugees in Berlin than I have seen for Fair Wages. How in the world do these people exist in this Century?! They are annoying, whiny, miserable, complacent, FAT, obsessed, uncouth, classless, and HORRIBLY unimaginative. For a place that prides itself on Order & Organization…these people are either slobs or Hoarders. I have YET to have been into a Full Time Germans' home and felt at ease. And I honestly believe that 'Furniture' is a bourgeois concept in Berlin, along with Style, Grace, and Cadence. Nothing these people do make sense. From their horrid lifestyles and Tastes, to their Values and Priorities. EVERYTHING is a Contradiction with Germans. They want Privacy…yet keep their noses in other peoples business. They want Freedom…yet everyone should think the "German Way". They are Over-educated to the point of Stupidity. Even the most destitute from the poorest Countries have enough sense to know how to milk this Country for what it's worth…then LEAVE. And I cant think of a more deserving group of people. Germany SUCKS.
Left 3yrs ago and have never looked back. And boy, I dont miss the phrase "The German Way". Save yourselves from that unnecessary headache of a City and leave when you can. It will be the best thing for you!
^^Sad but true. And thanks. I cant believe that I married a Berliner and thought he could be anything other than a mere German. Learned a lot. But so f**king glad I made the decision to leave. That city...isnt worth my Energy. Those people were the WORST!!! lol OMG I was so miserable there. I truly have to laugh about the years I spent there.
Berlin is boring, over rated, filthy dirty, cold, depressing, dull, full of unoriginal losers, wasted individuals, talentless would be artists, no hope rock and roll musicians, every second person is a bar tender, people are rude, arrogant, uneducated and down right boring to listen to. Why do I hate berlin, let me count the reasons why 103480 and running
Listen people, this is important. I did some digging and apparently this site is making it high on search engine results along with all that "Visit Berlin + so arty so edgy" crap. So people who are searching for information about Berlin before coming are actually seeing this site and reading its posts. Apparently that enraged some people, I'm not entirely sure who but my guess is that they are club owners and some of the "music & art elite" of the city. This might not sound like a lot but like it has been said here so many times on this site, Berlin lives and "thrives" on tourism even though they don't want to admit it. What's more important, discontent is more public now and these people want to take down the rank of this website with flooding (which would explain the spam) and if that doesn't work they might even hire some black hats who will take down the site for good.
Why don't these German trolls (with no jobs) start their own site about how great Berlin is? Ah yes, because NO ONE will go to it...berlin is poop
As a German and Berliner, I apologize for the German spam on here... you know it's probably a "creative" or an "artist"
You Are f*cking racists. Get over it.
Racists.you Are Not better than any f racist in any f Country. RACIST
Berlin is the only reference that you have?! My God! You Are so ignorant!
