| Topic | Berlin does not seem like a top tier city. |
| IdiotMachine 05/28/19 1:39:18 PM #1: | I didn't know anything about Berlin, but decided to go anyway. So Berlin being the capital of Germany, I expected Berlin to be clean, full of people, a show of force (like all capitals), and overflowing with history along with its arts and music. Instead, there is graffiti everywhere (we're staying at a four star hotel in a supposedly good district in Berlin: Tiergarten, and even here, it's full of graffiti), garbage on the streets, people jaywalking all the time, lots of beggars (more so than London, our previous city we visited earlier), no show of force (is there even police here? I don't recall seeing a police officer!), and almost all museums on the museum island is dedicated to non-German topics... On top of all this, I found out pretty much every single building here is a reconstruction, and even the Berlin Cathedral Church is a more modernly built church only made to LOOK old... The whole vibe here seems more akin to Russia and Eastern Europe, moreso than what I expected of the capital of Germany, the strongest economy of the EU. --- ... Copied to Clipboard! |
