Or Berlin ist scheisse.Why is this city so hyped up?Just returned from 4 day visit and it was a terrible let down.Completely grey and soulless even for November, lots of ugly architecture, drug addicts and homeless everywhere. They even had little camps like in the states. Stench of urine all across the city. Visited Museum Island, it was ok but nothing compared to British Museum or British National Gallery.I am really surprised this city is hyped so much.Frankfurt is better if you want modern city.Dresden if you want history and beauty.Munich for German food and beer.Unless you are junkie I see no point in the It's terribly dirty and depressing.
It used to be great for its night and alternative scenes. Had a blast visiting during summer 15 years ago.
You're 20 years late gramps.
>>2839745I went this August and I had the opposite experience. I absolutely loved it, far more than Munich, the other city in Germany I went to. Probably helps I'm a sucker for grunge and punk shit, lots of gorgeous goth girls <3, it's my kinda style, even if I never scored. But even ignoring the nightlife, there's a lot of cool history too. Granted it's more Soviet and WW2 history over more traditional history, but for me that's exactly what I liked. Amazing food too (except currywurst which is complete ass)Yes there were a few homeless junkies, which was sad to see, but maybe as an American I'm just more used to it, it just didn't detract too much for me. There was that one encampment under the bridge, and I saw 2 on the subway. Most of the rest of the city was great. Honestly Munich smelled much worse.
I think it's nice, don't remember much homeless, yeah a little but not like the US. I see this on 4chan all the time, they swear random european city is nothing but rapefugees and junkies, and then I go there, and nah, it's peaceful and nice and clean. It makes me wonder what kinds of weird places you people are going, how do you even find that kind of shit, it's like scum attracts scum or something.
Europe in a nutshell. Europe is a dump that gets high on its own farts, not a single building built since WW2, irrelevant shithole continent getting replaced by rapefugees. SEA is much better. Fuck I'd take India over Europe any day. /trv/pol/tards can't handle the truth.
>>2839751All I can remember from Berlin is seeing Germans be complete psychotic assholes to each other for no reason and gay sex party posters everywhere. Asides from that, it's a dump. I saw tin shack housing under the train lines lol.
>>2839764Maybe it's a nightlife thing. I'm too old for that shit, I go to bed at 10pm and I'm out looking for coffee before 7am. I was out at 4:30am once to catch a flight but aside from a drunk guy peeing on some bushes there was nothing unseemly that I could observeAnd yeah, under the trains was where I saw homeless, but not camps and not "everywhere"
>>2839764>seeing Germans be complete psychotic assholes to each other for no reason and gay sex party posters everywhereBoth are linked to coke and meth
I only have two distinct memories of Berlin:>meeting a Chinese guy with a very thick German accent (sounded like a German character from an American cartoon)>the police issuing fines to people riding those dumb electric scooters on the sidewalkThat last one happened more than once. I saw at least three instances myself. I think the actual law is that you have to ride those scooters in the bike lane or on the side of the road. Either way, it seems the police was cracking down hard on these scooters. I saw a female pajeet bawling her eyes out as the cop was writing her a ticket.
>>2839763You're welcome to go back to India, saar
>>2839763>irrelevant shithole continent getting replaced by rapefugees.That's actually a very common /pol/estinian talking point. Looks like /pol/tards can handle the truth just fine.
>>2839745An Uzbek manlet friend of mine who migrated to Berlin to study and work had great things to say about the city. He loved the nightclubs and the drugs, but found Germans to be autistically obsessed with details and procedures when it came to work. If you're a prude, Berlin might very well disgust you with its tolerance of degeneracy. Or if you're a brokie, you might find it depressing. It sucks to visit a city full of rich people and not be able to afford to dine out, much less have fun. You end up tramping the streets with the junkies, bums, migrant losers and other solo undesirables.
>>2839751it depends on the citymy cruise stopped in marsielles and it genuinely felt like i was doing slum tourism walking from the port to palais longchamps and back. saw as many crackheads and schizos as the bronx in nyc even a 2000s golf with a stolen radio and broken window. naples was dirty but not worse than nycitalian cities definitely have a ton of annoying africans trying to hustle tourists near the tourist spots, stuff like random african men "helping" tourists park in pisa like pic related but the graffiti is done by the locals imo
>>2839746>It used to be great for its night and alternative scenesOP already mentioned junkies
>>2839745Hamburg > Berlinfor sure
>>2839745Degeneracy is part of the appeal. You're not required to partake of it, but enjoying the human zoo is truly a patrician's walk of "I told you so". You have to find your own beauty, Anon, and it's fine if Berlin wasn't your cup of tea. I enjoyed the NS sites, the few that remain. Unwittingly stayed in the worst part of the city for people like me, still had a good time seeing all the /pol/ memes irl. You should laugh when you visit the circus.t. enjoyer.
>>2841770I'll go anywhere once, but if I have to cross paths with the same lowlifes every single time I step out of my room during a week's stay in a city, it gets real fucking tiresome.
>>2841770>Degeneracy is part of the appealBerlin isn't really that degenerate. Well, maybe it is, but it is degeneracy for lower middle class with bland tastes.True debauchery and parties are in places like Barcelona or London, both cities offer better gay and trans escorts, have better sex clubs and better communities. When it comes to looks nothing beats Barcelona when it comes to both gay and escorts, with London being second. Meth in Berlin is meh really, as is coke. Yeah it is everywhere but hardly of any good quality. You can't beat the quality of drugs in Spain and London, and if you venture further, HK has tina that would blow your socks off. I will give Berlin points for bars and small restaurants, they have better vibe than in London, but Barcelona is again a different thing. Berlin has the degeneracy of other cities, queer bars, gays, drag queens, trannies, but if you been elsewhere and parties the quality will disappoint you.
>>2842080Maybe it's that you see queers in every part of Berlin whereas in other big cities they stick to gayborhoods, so when small town folk visit Berlin it freaks them out and picrel
>>2839745>Visited Museum Island, it was ok but nothing compared to British Museum or British National Gallery.You fucked up. The best museum in Berlin, and pretty much the main reason it is worth a visit, is the Pergamonmuseam. And it's closed for renovations until like 2035. Should have went two years ago. The Ishtar gate of Babylon was one of the seven wonders of the ancient world before it was replaced with the pharos of Alexandria. It is gorgeous. I hope you at least saw the Nefertiti bust. Neues Museum is pretty good too.
>>2842169Museums in Germany are ass, they put up little placards by every exhibit explaing how the artist or collector was racist sexist transphobic etcWent to one ethnographic museum where the entire museums collection was shipped back to the shithole country it was collected from replaced by signs saying here's how to turn your kid gay, stop touching black women's hair and entire room of pictures of the dumb cunts who destroyed the museum
>>2842173Pretty much this.
>>2839751It's American projection.
>>2842080what are some best (nongay) sex clubs in London?
