      That’s the problem with Berlin for the rest of Germany: All foreign correspondents are there. Many of the big media houses have their offices there. And it’s in the middle of fucking nowhere somewhere in the sands of Brandenburg. People from Berlin also really, really like to talk about Berlin.

      Most Germans do live somewhere else and Berlin really is overrepresented in the media.

        As someone from Berlin, I really dont talk about it that much. Only when asked.

        I make about how little I know about the rest of Germany though. Whole NRW ist just Ruhrpott for me.

        Add to that someone who remembers clubbing before 1990 - dammit, Köln’s SchuLZ is almost as old as Berlin’s!

    Still sad about Watergate closing

    Hopefully this measure is effective, Berlin would lose a fundamental part of what makes it great (imo) if the closures continue
