I would love to go back to Berlin. I'm originally from SF and lived a few places in the US and Europe (SF, SD, Reno, London, Tallinn, Berlin, Shanghai) but Berlin blows them all away. It's got a good mix of people - not dominated by tech or art or anything so you don't have to get the quintessential SF experience of everyone you meet working on a startup idea. Centrally located, you can (or could) jump on a quick flight anywhere else in Europe and many neighborhoods feel small so you can still get the small town vibe even in a big city. Plus, in Berlin your freak flag can really fly and no one cares - SF I think they claim that but people actually are very homogenous and you get penalized for not following the unwritten codes
