I moved to Berlin also from Helsinki last autumn to work in a start-up.
What I should add to your list is the open-mindedness of the people: it is one of the most liberal places I've ever been. People are nice, the police won't arrest you so easily for spending a splendid day in a local park and of course the nightlife.
When I visited Berkeley and New York this spring, it was really a joy to be back home.

- pimeys 14y agoIf you like to drink beer or smoke cigarettes in a public park, for example. Or smoke weed.
- bane 14y agoso basically doing things that are against the local laws
- pimeys 14y agoIt's not illegal to drink beer in public places (like the subways, parks, streets) and it's also legal to smoke tobacco in many places. Weed is not legal, but it's tolerated and discriminated.
- bane 14y agoOnly they are not legal in NYC given the scenario described. NYC has open container laws (no open alchoholic containers in public), public smoking laws (particularly in public Parks) and weed is illegal under Federal law in th US.
