I know this is a hater column but this reminds of why I love winter in Berlin so much: you can go a couple of months without having to hear an American complain about art galleries before they come out again in spring
Can’t get on board with the Berlin hate. It’s paradise compared to NYC in so many ways. There’s space, parks, green space, hot guys, it’s so much cheaper, and creative people can actually afford it (though who knows how long that will last).
Ah, Clit grafitti: I know it well. And, of course, the Number 6, painted obsessively by the Missing Foundation guy. But perhaps the author should spend some time outside of Neukölln or the tech offices of Schöneweide?

Between this and Lauren Oyler, someone should let me write a normal take on Berlin ❤️
I work closely with my company's German office and it's true...the # of vacation days/holidays is insane, but I'm really just jealous.
Also, PLEASE make this a permanent newsletter. It has quickly become my favorite.
"a preteen's idea of being edgy" is a GEM of a statement (also I've never been Berlin and this was very insightful)

“30 vacation days per year is TOO MANY VACATION DAYS” don’t move to France 😂
A friend of mine just got a new job with 44 days (25 paid leave plus 19 RTT which is also paid)
i love anonymous person writing about hating berlin
lol I wish I’d written this
I wrote my friend in Canada a message just yesterday: “there’s a pile of human shit outside my front door. I hate Berlin so much.”
