So I'm Back
And I live in Berlin now
Surprise, surprise.
A middle class lad in his late twenties dissatisfied with his relatively stable and social London life packed up his bags and headed for Berlin to, according to him, “go on a new adventure” which we all know is code for “finding yourself” without admitting that you share a goal with a 19 year old backpacking around Thailand.
Why Berlin? You may ask.
“It’s not as gentrified as London yet and I can afford my own flat,” you will hear him say despite his overwhelming naivety about how messy the Berlin housing market is.
“London has gotten a bit samey for me and I like how Berlin has retained its ‘edge’ and originality,” he says even though his Vinted wishlist is already full of only black clothing and he’s been debating bleaching what’s left of his rapidly vanishing hair.
“I want to experience the electronic music scene there as I’m a big fan of electronic music and Berlin’s the ‘techno capital’ of the world,” and well this goes without saying. Let’s see how he fares with how late they start here despite his dislike of being awake past 6am.
It’s all just one big stereotype isn’t it.
Upcoming
Anyhow, expect more from me. I’ve missed doing this. Got a few London ones in the works but I want to start talking about this fantastic city that I’ve been itching to move to for close to a decade now.
So yeah, watch this space.
