The breakfast in that hotel was really fuckin good. Like a super high quality buffet with real deli meat, crispy croissant and fresh eggs-quality buffet. And this juice I don't know what it was, sorta pale reddy orange. It was all over Germany actually.

Anyway Berlin was good but the beer was better in Bavaria.

That’s the piss cup. You drank Pisa

I used to work with a nice lady from Berlin. She laughed for a long, long time when she found out they are stereotyped as efficient.

The stereotypical Berlinettas are so anti-polite smalltalk that they would make autistic ppl blush. Berlin is like any city with rough parts and obscene parts and obscenely wealthy parts, it's just... more. Heightened?

East/West made some weird good fusion happen there in the 00's. And the east used to be cheaper than any other of the capital letter I important city in Europe and thereby = all artist all spent their 20s there. Haven't visited in a while now but some of the fun is probably still around

From personal experience they work hard to navigate their massive bureaucracy as efficiently as possible.

Also I think a lot of this perception is because of the Italians doing their thing.

Neat! Thanks!

I should really go look up more hip-hop in languages I don't speak, it's always really fascinating for some reason.

Here, take this Dutch and Afrikaans hip-hop I found like a decade ago and also really enjoy:

All I know is that Berlin, like Paris, London, San Francisco, and many other big cities, has a horrible housing crisis and it's hard to live there unless you've lived in a rent controlled apartment for 30 years or are already rich.

I think they sort of develop naturally as metaphysical scar tissue, like being hoofed in the balls so often they are dust, yet you still have to deal with morning wood.

Lipstick Apathy
I like how the post foreshadows the reference to krystalnacht_pony.txt by saying "hoofed" instead of "kicked." The mind's eye of the narrator has been fixed on that image, and is still experiencing that upwelling of empathy for the scared Jewish pony.

lmao the only time Ive been in England was during a heat wave. The hotel had no AC. It advertised as having a free breakfast buffet, which turned out to be a small table with a plate of toast, some of those plastic packets of various spreads that you need like four of to cover a single piece of bread, and some of the cheapest supermarket cereal. Tea bags, instant coffee and a kettle as well.

The reason this all sticks in my mind is because there was also a plate of cheese. They had peeled about 50 of those individually wrapped, processed slices and piled them on the plate, and in the heat it had all melted into one congealed cheese mound. Some brave person had taken a chunk of it. My partner and I were trying to save money so the first two days we ate at this buffet, but by the third day we couldn't stand to face the cheese mound again so we bought some poo poo at the supermarket and ate breakfast in our room.

This story is obviously fake news because there is no mention of breakfast beans.

What the gently caress did you stay in even premier inns and Travelodge will stick on a cooked breakfast buffet and it's pretty much expected in a bed and breakfast

Some fish lived, though I'm sure they'll need lots of therapy in the coming years.

However, fire brigade official James Klein later told local media that "several dozen" fish had been found alive in places where residual water had collected. He said they were being rehoused in other aquariums.
