Visit another german city instead
Berlin is full of pseudo-technolovers from south germany, nothing authentic

Berlin is shit. It was cool in the late 60s to mid 70s but afterwards it was just kind of lame. It's like the less cool brother of Hamburg

>>11823651
Porn museum and get culturally enriched by a Somalian or haji

>>11823651
Nice try, Muhamed

>>11823651
Helmut Newtons permanent exhibition near the Zoo, 10/10 stuff.

And yeah Berlin might not be what is was a few decades ago, it's still a hell of a lot more effay than your average city.

>>11823675
good post

>>11823651
Was there for 8 days this summer but didnt really do anything but go clubbing, i'd say if you got the "look" try berghain if that doesnt work golden gate and about blank are fun

>>11823724
My new phone wallpaper, thanks

>>11823686
I was living in Hamburg for the last year, it's pretty shit. Yeah it's beautiful, but you can run out of things to do real fast

>>11823787
thats because you have to get involved here
we don't look too kindly on cultural consumerism

>>11823675
>>11823694
>>11823735
So, are you guys German or are you Americans who follow and perfectly comprehend Euro politics? Just wondering.

Thank you, friends. Unfortunately it's too late to change my destination as I'm going there for work and decided to take some days off and prolong my stay to see Anna von Hausswolff and Swans live.

You guys sure make Berlin sound completely worthless. I guess I'll just check out a market or two for nice second hand clothes and visit some museums if there's nothing else worthwhile.

>>11823797
>you have to get involved here
what kind of stuff do you do?

>>11823906
Don't listen to them, Berlin is an awesome city. It may not exactly be what it is made out to be but I still really like it. It is just "cool" to hate on Berlin in Germany.

>>11823724
this 100000000000%

go to ://about blank and lose your mind
just wander about friedrichshain and kreuzberg plenty of cool shit there

I have been just once in Berlin, but Holocaust Memorial and Bauhaus museum looks cool.

Try the Berliner Kindl and Club Mate.

>>11824414

>Matrix
wtf, why would you recommend that shit hole

other clubs are cool, also check out:
>house of weekend
>humboldthain club

most higher end fashion is around Torstrasse.
go to xhain for more indie stuff

don't buy drugs on the street, they are shit, buy in clubs instead, most techno clubs have house dealers

death grips is playing at berghain 27th so go see that if you can

>>11824961
Will Sven block me from seeing death grips or is that only the club nights

>>11824245
Hahahahahahahahaha

I went to Suicide Circus because I heard it was easy for non-germans to get in. It was pretty great if you're in to dancing to techno in cool old dingy buildings. Took me about 2 mins of being in there to source pills too.

>>11823651

Got to Munich instead

>>11823671

>>11823651
don't go to berlinistan especially if your a women. You'll be raped by muslims

Germany is cancer. Literally.

Everything is grey. You will never see the sun again. Everyone is afraid of color and of each other.

Don't go to Germany. Ever.

>>11823671
Hahaha well said!

>>11825202
you just need a ticket

Antwerp is a more /fa/ city

>>11824245
Filled with thirsty creepy guys. It's obly fun if you're high outta your mind

>>11823779
You're welcome kek

>>11824081
Haven't been there, sounds pretty cool though.
I always go to this one club I stumbled upon when I first went to Berlin, it's pretty hidden and I really only know the GPS coordinates: 52.4756584N, 13.4593256E.
It's right down this dark alleyway next to the subway, seriously check it out.

Get rejected from Berghain

>>11827142
I will once I go to Berlin again, cheers.

To be fair I really just enjoyed walking around Berlin without a real idea of what to do. It's that kind of city in my opinion. Apart from the East Side Gallery, Fernsehturm and Brandenburger Tor there aren't really massive tourist landmarks (though I'm probably forgetting something) like in Paris, London and NYC. I like that more tbf

>>11827892

>>11827754
They should have parked a gas van behind that thing.

visit paul boutique
it's a pretty cool thriftshop where you can get some nice pieces but bring some time the place is huge

>>11824087
I see you're dodging the original question.

>>11826967
This.when will pleb learn?

I was there last year, but I'm european so Berlin is not that unusual or special for me... But still, I love that city. It's very relaxed, it's never crowded, you can easily avoid tourists and touristy places.

The people are very cool, they're all always dressed really well.

And as far as what to do... well, Berlin is a perfect city to just be in. Get a bike and ride around, and you'll see all sorts of interesting shit. There are a million little places to eat with all sorts of food. There are amazing street musicians everywhere. And at night hang out in Friedrichshain and Kreutzberg, get drunk with somebody, do some drugs...

That's the whole point of Berlin - do whatever the fuck you want.

>>11823651
stand in line for the Berghain you fucking tourist

>>11826836
Born in Berlin. Wanted to live in Moscow. People asked me to leave, because everything I touched turned grey.

>>11826836
>>11828914
>Everything is grey.

Funny thing, when I was a teen, I got obsessed with the idea of "average-ness" for a winter or so. I bought only grey jackets, grey sweaters, grey turtlenecks, because I had this idea:

Everyone tries to be special in some way, but in the end, that just leads to everyone trying to be different in the same ways; this is what I suspected where fashion trends come from. So what if, instead of trying to be super special, I just try to dress in the most average, flat background character manner possible?

Never really went anywhere, but could be worth a think.

>>11823651
I wish they'd drop napalm over Berlin. It trumps Stockholm in degeneracy and Paris in enrichment. Fucking cancerous shithole.

>>11829097
What an extremely fashion related not-shitpost

gas the jews

Mensch Meir was the coolest club I've been to in Berlin, I went alone and had a pretty good time until I bought some bad mdma.

bump

>>11826836
it is post modern german angst,

dull, uninspired, unfullfilling engineering of society, economy and every aspect of life, knowing it won't soothe us

>>11824091
hes from helsinki tho

>>11829201
what happened with the md?

>>11826836
>Everything is grey
It may not be effay, but it doesn't look very grey to me.

I went there to visit a long time friend.
Rented a Ferrari 458 for a day, which was sweet as fuck, took my friend along and he got pissed that I was driving too fast, so I let him off at some gas station and told him I'd be right back, came back after 15 minutes and he was pissed off and crying and told me he was gay and in love with me.
Hung out alone for a bit and went to some clubs, honestly I loved the vibe and music in most of them but a lot of them felt very try hard and aimed to lure tourists looking for that Berlin techno chic.
I came back to the apartment buzzing hard and friend convinced me to let him suck my dick. Museums were amazing, the zoo is also visit worthy if you're into animals and such.

go to bonanza coffee roasters, burgermeister, walk around mitte falling in love with girls on bikes

>going to Berlin
>not going to Leipzig

>>11831863
This is a fucking village
Every major city in germany was painted grey in the 90s since it was considered "modern", now most newer buildings come in color. But all the non-renovated ones remain grey so it's still really depressing when you go for a walk or smth

>>11832075
>telling hipsters about Leipzig
Why?

>>11831005
Uhm well I just didn't get that high and then felt fucking terrible after an hour or so. I didn't buy it though, some guys from Munich shared with me for free.

>>11832572
Guess I shouldn't have said bought lol.

I'm going in a month. Is it full of degenerates and refugees? Are there refugees welcome stickers everywhere?

>>11832637
why do you care

>>11832637
Yes and yes
Berlin is the most degenerate city in europe

>>11823651
Check out Soto, the wood wood Shop, superconcious and civilist. To eat: Monsieur Vuong for Vietnamese, Cocolo for the best Ramen I've ever had. Neighbourhoods: around rosenthaler platz, weinbergstrasse, and maybe check out Freidrichschain (bit hipster tho)

>>11830867
do you know him? also, is finland's cultural scene just occupied by tryhard weirdos trying to outdo each other? I mean the techno guy, this guy, that goofy designer who inspired Kanye, etc.

>>11833901

idk who you're referring to but that's a generic hel-looks.com pic.

>>11833879

>>11824414

>>11823651
go to tresor and buy pills of the rasta man.
take half the pill cause theyre every strong and have the best night of your life.

>>11823906
If you like tricky ricky or clothes more of the greyscale palette, check out apartments berlin, its a cool shop(?) in shop.

>>11833926
i get that people living there might not want refugees around, it's their city so it's their business

but how much of a pussy do you need to be that just visiting scares you

i met a qt trap in berlin but she didnt want to hook up so fuck that place

bump
I want to move to Berlin next year for the electronic music scene, I'm really into music technology and sound art/design so I think Berlin is a good place for me to be.

>>11834643
Name your top 5 techno artists cuccboi

>>11834646
i don't really listen to techno at home only in clubs but my favs are cassegrain, paula temple, keepsakes, randomer & jeff mills after i saw him play for 3 hours in this really weird sweaty room

>>11826957
Tickets do not guarantee entrance to Berghain. Even says so when you buy them.

>>11834659
Ok u can pass

Dutchman who goes to berlin every 3 months or so.

>sleep in kreuzberg or friedrichshain and rent a bike
This is the best way of getting around. Nobody wants to walk that fucking stretch to Sisyphos

>Drink sternburger
Always the cheapest beer in the spätis

>Dont buy drugs in gorlitzer park

>Boxhagener platz
Summer is over now, but eat a pizza (3 euros) there when hungover

>vietnamese food
On cuvrystrasse and wrangelstrasse there is a tiny vietnamese place that sells great, healthy and cheap food

Burgermeister
>do the tourist thing and stand in line for burgermeister once. only if you eat meat though, the tofuburger was a disappointment

Clubs:

Behavior
>speak german is your biggest asset. dont have bottles in your hand in line. dont shout in line. look like youre getting in, dont pout.

Timing
>go to bed at 2.00. Set alarm at 5 or 6. Go out and the chance of getting in is way higher. Sundays at 14.00-18.00 are great times of getting in Berghain

Group
>No bigger than four people, at least a 50/50 gender distribution

Clothing
>Look like you made an effort. Black on black is a semi-sermious meme, not really that necessary. Just make sure you don't like a normie that shops at H&M. Look like youve been drinking/doing drugs for a while now. Wear shoes to dance on.

I liked Sisyphos, Kosmonaut, About Blank and Renate.

Just look on Resident Advisor for the night and see whats happening.

Berghain is insane and worth getting into, but its a lot of effort.

Pic related, gorlitzer park a month ago.

>>11834699
where it is cheap accommodation in berlin?

>>11834665
I have tickets to death grips there am I fucked?

>>11832572
Sorry to hear that mate

>>11834605
It doesn't scare me. Sort of annoying

>>11834818
The cheapest is in the east outside the ringbahn. But just stay in Fhain or kreuzberg if youre trying the whole /fa/ schtick

>>11823651
Bundestag is cool for photos. Also this Judendenkmal. I'm not sure if i pissed in it or if that was just a dream though. At least they're close together

>>11823906
berghain

>>11832090
Leipzig is already a hipster shithole

"omg Berlin is like way too commercial and gentrified now, this is why I decided to move to Leipzig with my girlfriend (we won't marry until ou gay friends have the same rights as we do) and our 2-year-old son Elias"

>>11836506
>our 2-year-old son Elias
Lol, good reply

>>11836506
gay people can't get married in germany yet? thats crazy

>>11829091
Just makes you sound like a fedora lord

>>11827754
lol whats the story behind this?

>>11833922
Sasu Kauppi is apparently the name of the guy who inspired Kanye.

I know about Hel-Looks, it just seems that everytime i see something thats connected to fashion and finland, it's always something that looks very tryhard and "edgy". actually like the fit of the guy whom i posted, because it's so outrageous.

anyways, at least it seems like people wear something interesting in Helsinki - whenever I try to go through Danish street fashion blogs from Copenhagen, it's all just really boring, predictable fits or people who really stand out because of their very colourful and terribly matched fits

>>11836506
why do People hate Hipsters so much? i mean you dont have to like them, but there are so many People hating on them and i always wonder why you hate on People for Dressing a certain way and having certain interests.

>>11833916
kek'd

>>11833901
>>11837558
Hel-looks cherry picks the weirdest looking weirdos on the streets. There is no fashion scene in Finland.

Real Finns look like this: http://per-looks.tumblr.com/

>>11837626
Holier-than-thou attitude combined with corny personality

Wouldn't any suggestion on /fa/ already be gentrified? I mean isn't /fa/ the god damn defintion of gentrified?

Any city recommendation i see on here is already lost to gentrification. If you see a recommendation here it's already to late.

Go to Ukraine or something peeps.

They made a mini berghain at a Dutch festival. They let people stand in line, but they didn't let anyone in. Some people got very upset like this girl starting crying and some dudes wanted to fight the bouncer. Shit was pretty funny.

break in to spreepark
