How long have you been in Berlin, out of curiosity?
- haidrali 11y agoI am in Lahore, Pakistan right and never have been in Berlin before ...
- playing_colours 11y agoI live in Berlin for more than 2 years. UPD: If I correctly understand the reason why you asked your question, you might think I am still in "honeymoon" with Berlin. I guess I am not anymore. As everywhere, there are pluses and minuses. People can be unfriendly, the winter is grey and rainy, but I didn't move here from the sunny South with friendly open people :) And I am pretty disillusioned about the startup scene - most companies are crappy, hipsterish and want to pay pennies, so one needs to look hard for a good place. But at the same time I met some good, interesting, and enthusiastic people here.
- atroyn 11y agoIt's one reason, another was in case you'd been there a long time and could comment on what's changed over the last 5-10 years. And I think that describes most startup ecosystems, just those also happen to be the conditions for really good companies to emerge too. For me Berlin is a place where people can really be whoever they want, even two or three people in the same day. After all, everyone's an electronica DJ after hours ;)
- playing_colours 11y agoI agree 100 percent on electronica DJs :D I have colleagues / friends, who are great fans of techno and vinyls; Berlin with its clubbing culture is a paradise for them!
