cheaper neighbourhoods, neuköln, wedding, maybe even f-hain, though it might be a tad more expensive. but in "hip" kiezs the pricing in thrift stores is getting ridiculously out of hand.
there are also loads of h&ms and zaras and some more elusive chain stores like weekdays, if you're for example on a student budget and that's your thing. also we'll get europes first uniqlo next spring, so you'll be pretty safe basic-wise.
there are also some designer second hand stores and various outlets if your version of cheap is still a bit pricey, you'll no doubt find them just wandering around hackescher markt and the likes or you could always just check google

i kinda doubt most of the turks ever heard about thor steinar as much as radical leftys to be honest. it's a shame, but most "normal" students i meet never heard about it. but a german flag and combat boots, is something everbody can recognize as fitting the nazi stereotype. of course knoch's not going to get jumped there, but batting an eye is definately a possibility, but whatever, i doubt op's going to run into that problem.

it's all relative: charlottenburg is VERY far from cheap. neukölln got a $$$ raise, but the only places that didn't are outside of the ring.

Berlin for sure. Great people, loads and loads of nice shops, not too expensive and very international.
Paris is expensive as shit, too many annoying sandpeople and shitty service.
Amsterdam is meh for me because I am Dutch and I think a semester isn't enough to enjoy what the city has to offer. You need to know the in-crowd in A'dam to get to the nice parties and places. Lots of stuck up wannabe's over there.

thanks, bru

about fhain
if i wasn't already in a quite cheap place i really like with my bff, i'd probs want to live there.
it's pretty much into "hip cool mom" territory now, much like prenzlauer berg, which is something some people absolutely despise, but i personally have no problem with. i have a couple of friends living there with roommates (a flat with 3 people and one with 2 people) and they aren't richyrich and can afford it w/o difficulties, but it's definately pricier than wedding. both have never had problems and live in nice, recently well renovated flats.
loads of chill places to go out at night or to eat/drink during the day, especially if you're vegitarian or vegan. loads of bio-markets n little nichè boutiques.

most tennants in my building and most of the area around it are hardworking immigrant families or the elderly. quite boring save for a few places, but i like being able to go to the area around alexanderplatz and especially hackescher markt in a few minutes and only need about 40mins to get to kurfürstendamm. there around hackescher markt is one of my favourites, theres basic stores everywhere, and if you explore a bit you're going to bump into those smaller outlets and higher tier shops i mentioned earlier and probably end up in hip cool momland again.

there are some new fancy buildings being completed just across the street from here, so i guess prices will go up even faster in the next years, even though theres not that much exciting stuff in this particular area.
but that's exactly what i like about my neighbourhood, since i'm not that much of a party animal and thus prefer nighttime nice and quiet.

we didn't talk to her for the rest of the bus ride. i had some wonderful turkish food in berlin.

It's weird considering how when talking/reading about World War 2 it's almost never about the normal citizens in Germany in cities like Berlin for example. I bet they had it real good as long as they supported daddy Adolf.

>wonderful turkish food in berlin
I went to Istanbul for about 2 weeks and the food was so fucking shit 95% of the places. I don't even know how I survived living off the "wrap"-sandwich-kebab things street vendors made. It was the only type of meal which was sort of good and cheap. Anything expensive (or "average" price) was fucking garbage.
Also, the city itself was a fucking dump. Everything had literally been changed as to cater to fucking imbecile tourists. Neon lights everywhere like it's the 90's and almost everyone on the street was wearing the same type of clothes (cheap-ass weird black shit, plenty of fake leather jackets) and almost everyone had the same angry as fuck look on their face. The assholes who were selling things from their shitty "stores" could easily, eeeeaasily, just fucking cross the entire street just to try and urge you to come inside to buy EXACTLY their type of garbage-- the same type of garbage you'd be able to buy at a different price if you walked down the street for 5 minutes.
