Berlin has an amazing vibe and there's just no denying that. You really do feel that the place is different and there's a weird attraction. I've never stayed there for more than 3-4 days at a time, but have done that about 10x over the years. A buddy and I hitchiked there from Trier and some friends gave us their flat in Schoeneweide while they were on vacation. We stayed a few days, really only hung out in the really dingy E. Berlin parts and then took the train to Frankfurt Oder, where we walked across the bridge into Poland and hitchiked around some more. Such an adventure. I sort of toy with finding a way to live there for a few years, but my wife wouldn't like it because she can't handle the language.
