Does anyone have any experiences about Berlin? I'm thinking about going there.

  Insanely cheap (nice meal out = 5 Euros), loads of alternative stuff: squats, parties, gigs etc. Very young, very friendly. Not sure about the start-up scene.

  I've just started mingling in the Berlin startup scene: There's a lot of copying of the American tech market, retargeted towards a German market. That makes some investors here a bit conservative since "the proven model" is so unambitious. But there are VCs and Angels here in town and quite a few startups. Living is freakishly cheap for a European metropolis and in general it's a very attractive place to live. Here's a map of startups registered on Deutsche Startups: http://www.deutsche-startups.de/2007/11/29/berlin-ist-die-startup-hauptstadt/ http://www.deutsche-startups.de/2007/11/29/berlin-ist-die-st...
