either that or he's a german from some other place..

It is known that Germans have weird taste for life, preferring cash to digital payments and not really understanding what does “global city” mean (just kidding here). I’ve lived in several German cities and Berlin does not differ much from others, except that it’s much less boring and probably much more English-speaking. The railways are as irregular as in Hamburg or Cologne, the beer can be as good as in Munich and you can get in some places as good Maultaschen as in Stuttgart. Berlin airports are shitty, too much multi-kulti on Alexanderplatz for some people and no one says “Servus” or “Moin” - but that’s a feature, not a bug of this city.
