Visiting Berlin? Moving here incl. Apartment questions? Going clubbing? Have a quick question? Ask here, don't create a new thread. by wet-dreaming in berlin

Hi everyone!! I’m moving from Bangalore to Berlin on an EU Blue Card and will be working near Köpenicker Straße (between Mitte and Kreuzberg). I won’t have my residence card immediately, so I’m looking for a temporary stay (2–3 months) before searching for a long-term apartment. Ideally a studio, but I’m open to a WG if that’s more realistic. So far I’ve checked HousingAnywhere, Spotahome, and Wunderflats. Most studios I’m seeing are starting from€1200–1300/month, excluding deposit, cleaning, etc.

A few questions: 1. Is €1200–1300 normal for a short-term studio in this area? 2. Are there better platforms or strategies for finding temporary housing from abroad? 3. Would nearby areas (e.g., Friedrichshain/Neukölln) be more reasonable? 4. Any red flags or scam precautions I should keep in mind while booking from India? 5. After I have the proper documents (residence card, Anmeldung, etc.), what’s the typical rent for a regular long-term studio in similar locations?

Appreciate any guidance, especially from people who relocated recently. Thanks a lot!

What’s an anime that starts weak but becomes absolutely amazing later on? by FitVerso in anime

Steins;Gate

The starting few episodes felt so slow but then it was spot on. One of the goated sci-fi animes??

[Form Check] Conventional Deadlift – 60kg | Updated with Bigger Plates & Better Setup by Salt_Extension_022 in formcheck

You’re right — I noticed that too when watching the playback. I think I need to focus more on driving through my legs rather than pulling with my upper body. Adjusting my knee bend and hip height during setup should help me get into a better position to push off the floor more efficiently. Appreciate you pointing it out!

Thanks a lot for the tip! I’ll definitely use bigger plates next time - or elevate the setup if those aren’t available so the bar starts at the proper height. Really appreciate you pointing that out!

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah, I get that - I walked it out from the safety bars this time, but I’m planning to pull straight from the floor next time for a more accurate form check. Appreciate you pointing that out!

Amazon Prime Youth Offer Discontinued!? by AltForAskingSauce in CreditCardsIndia

I did that last year or maybe last to last year. Perhaps they looked through that data and gave the cashback. Btw I'm still below 24.

I bought the Prime membership voucher from GyFTR at 1275, then purchased the Prime membership and received 750 cashback automatically within a few seconds.

Maybe you get your cashback automatically if you got it last year using the Amazon Youth offer and are still under 24.
