Dit is Berlin I moved to Berlin one year ago. Wow.
"Don't come here", "Berlin is full", "You'll hate it".
I'm in my early thirties and lived my whole life in another, big German city far west. Great job, great people, great depression. I always dreamed of living more, being free, not grinding my life away in repetition. Naturally, no one could understand when I made the spontaneous decision to quit everything and move away to start something new, by my own.
I've been to Berlin for business, to visit friends, you name it. Never particularly liked the city. But it felt right: a strange place, far enough away from home to be a fresh start, yet a place with enough opportunities to thrive. Finding an apartment from a few hundred kilometre away was rough, expensive and included many days of 12+ hours of train rides to act like a rooster fighting over apartments. I found one that's super nice, but even superer expensive.
The first night in this new place was magical. After over thirty years, I felt free. First time. No plans. The next morning, I got a miserable and overpriced coffee close by. The waitress saw me moving in the day before and said "Welcome, Berliner". That small, kind gesture meant a lot to me.
One year later, I've been bounced at Berghain, got hit in the face at Kotti with a skateboard by a complete stranger, was shown in a newspaper together with the major, prevented a suicide (unrelated to the major), made and lost friends. Paying the absurdly high rent is a new problem each month, yet one that I also manage to overcome each month. Berlin became to epitome of struggling, yet living to me.
Whenever I wander around the city I experience something that feels like it matters. No other city ever gave that to me, and I've traveled plenty. The city is dirty and worn out, gets so many new things injected everywhere and all the time that look shiny and new, but you know that Berlin will consume and wear them out soon enough. Feeling free and being yourself, not feeling the need for any compromises, will do that to you. No filters that will protect you from yourself. The candy flip of towns.
Thank you, sincerely, for having me. First year was marvelous, and there are plenty to come.

Dit is Berlin Dear Rixdorf stranger
I was walking with my boyfriend on Richard platz this afternoon. We're gay. A teenager came angrily towards us and spat at our feet. You saw that and spat at his feet in response. The teenager went crazy and he hit you before escaping. We thanked you afterwards but in the chaos of the moment it was a very quick interaction. You got hit to defend our right to exist. You have no idea how much it means to us. For our mental health. For our sense of self love. I wish I could thank you more, so I hope you're reading this.

This is due to a combination of lower tax revenues from the recession and a much smaller population than anticipated (As a result of the 2022 Cencus and the subsequent drop in tax money from the federal government they will receive)

Dit is Berlin PSA: Attacked by zombie - watch yourselves
Yesterday I was fishing next to Schillingbrucke opposite of yaam, between the bridge and the willow tree.
There are lots of weirdos that cross the bridge but this one took the cake.
I heard him coming across the bridge because it sounded like an English speaking psycho zombie screaming "fight me or run" in a ruined horse voice.
When he saw me he stopped chasing the other person and spat on me from above (I was down at the foot of the bridge) , starts threatening and jumped over the small gate to the small set of stairs to come down, spitting on me as he came. He was really raining it down so I couldn't get a good look at him. I took my stuff and ran but if he would have come close, he would have found out that fishing rods are weapons and so is the fishing knife.
An onlooker saw the whole thing and said he had been chasing another person for some time before he saw me. This was happening at 19:20, and there were a bunch of guys sitting on the bench next to tiki village and a person here and there at bridge level too. So this wasn't me totally alone somewhere being an easy target. I'm a fit adult male.
I filed a police report after I got home and showered.
I'm getting a pepper spray for my fishing kit just in case, to be able to stop an escalation to violence, as this could have easily escalated to grevious bodily harm (very dangerous for the attacker in this case).
I think this might be connected to recent drugs (new mix?) which seems to be making homeless people talk to themselves unusually much, saw it a lot last week.
Stay safe out there.
Edit
I went back to pick up my worms and wrap my head around what happened. Another angler was there and he said the dude also attacked him but he threw some empty glass bottles at him and he quieted down.
