I lived in Berlin for 2 years from 1996 to 1998 as a 21 year old British Joiner. Since then I have been to many countries but nowhere has ever quenched my thirst for life like Berlin did to me as a young man.
Amazing place, amazing times. Not been back since but planning a trip this summer with a friend.
Yes I know it will have changed alot like any city. I remember lots of friendly Turkish German people, the character of the place, the food, the architecture, everything. I shared an apartment with a plasterer from Newcastle on Friedrichstrasse. I worked in Mitte near the hauptbahnoff.
Alexanderplatz is mega!
To anyone considering whether to go to Berlin or not I would say DO IT.
Fair enough it was along time ago since I was there but I bet you any money the character will still be there. It was miles better than Manchester all them years ago.
This city opened my eyes to a world of open minded people and possibilities far beyond Manchester.
Foolishly I returned to this island that is the uk, no culture, no spirit.
Just my view

Please don't wait in Mustafa. I don't know a single person who actually lives in Berlin that eats there (and I live here for almost 10 years). There are 10000 better Döners that do not require wait ...

[williamcarter]

No way would I queue for over an hour just for a kebab

[kduwi]

Mustafa isnt even nearly as good as for example the Döner at 7 Days or other stores

Spring is here, the days are getting longer again and the sun is shining warmer. In Berlin you can sit outside again everywhere, in the city's cafés and restaurants. See what you can do in the city and the gardens and parklands that will soon be in bloom.
