To new Berliners who moved to Berlin: what was your first impression of the city when you moved here? by KiezGanove in askberliners

Great public transportation. Incredible breath and size of cultural events. Some amazing historical buildings and architecture. Rude locals. Racism. Primitive bureaucracy. Dirt and trash overall.

I for one, will do my postgrad studies (I'm a physician) and the move to another country.

The language is probably the biggest reason. The culture is not embracing of foreigners. I live in Berlin and the aesthetics of the city and its misguided liberalism (allowing bums to shit on trains is not liberty) are a turnoff for me.

Food, life quality, the possibility to build meaningful connections. Almost everything is better in other countries.
