A broke girl´s guide to the most Cafes that won’t break the bank : Among other European cities, Berlin is known as one of the more inexpensive ones, which you can clearly see in its cheap street food and cafes. Although, some trendy places do tend to rank up their prices, which is why we’ve created a list of cafes that won’t break the bank : • • • •
Hamy Cafe – Best cheap and delicious vietnamese food ! – Hasenheide 10 Momos – The most delicious vegan dumplings ! – Chausseestr. 2 Curry 36 – The most famous currywurst of the city for just 2€ ! – Mehringdamm 36 Burgermeister – The one we personally like the best on this list – the best burgers under 5€ ! – Various locations.
How to get free stuff easily in 6 steps : 1. Join the Facebook group “Free Your Stuff Berlin”; 2. Turn on notifications – you’ll get notified every time someone offers something for free! 3. Be quick! Almost every time, people grab the stuff in about 2-5 minutes after posting, so you have to respond as soon as possible. 4. When you see something you like, comment “PM“ on the post and message the person privately about your wish to pick up what they’re giving away. 5. Set up the date and time of meeting. 6. Go pick it up! Don’t be late and be polite, they’re giving you something for free! Thank them and wish them a nice day! Pro tip : Be nice and extra friendly when messaging them! Chances are, they will receive a lot of messages and it will make them feel better to read something kind.
affordable things of Berlin : The Berlin thrift store scene : The multi-cultural city of Berlin is boasting with an abundance of different types of vintage stores. The majority of those stores sell not only vintage clothes, but also vintage furniture, books, records... anything you can imagine, basically. But in this article we are focusing on the clothing stores, since that category is the most popular out of all and also our personal favorite. Before coming to Berlin, you might have heard from a lot of people that while the thrift stores here have some nice choices of clothes, they are not the cheapest... Being a lover of all things cheap, experiencing a famous thrift store in Berlin for the first time was heartbreaking – everything was unbelievably expensive! For example, these wind jackets the girl is browsing in the picture on the right. They were around 40-50 Euros, while in Tbilisi, Georgia, you can get the same type of jacket for around 5-10 Euros. This can be really disappointing for bargain lovers, who always want to look for a better deal. So, we decided not to give up and keep searching for some thrift stores with adequate pricing. The following list is what we found during our search.
Thrift stores that are actually cheap : •
•
motz-der-Laden – The best one to go to if you want to see a lot of things at once – they have everything from clothes to knick-knacks, and for really cheap too. – Friedrichstr. 226 Garage – One of the biggest stores on this list – you will not regret going here because of how exquisitely the area is organized, or just by the sheer volume of clothes, shoes and accessories they have. Definitely not the cheapest option, but if you dig hard enough, you will surely find something for a good deal. – Ahornstr. 2
•
•
Humana Secondhand & Vintage – The only chain secondhand store worth going to in Berlin. The stores are usually huge, but if you take your time in there and really search for something spectacular, you will find it. The best thing about Humana is that they do discounts on ranges of clothes almost everyday, which makes it really cheap. For example, the jacket the girl is wearing in the picture above is from Humana for 8 Euros! – Various locations. Resales – Similar to Humana, with a better selection and higher pricing, but its still worth checking out. – Turmstr. 72/73

KLUNKERKRANICH
Blue mood lights, tiny round tables, the mix of rhythms and sounds, that transports your mind to the galaxy of jazz. Take a sit, order a glass of red wine and enjoy the great experience. The atmosphere in the B-flat is worth it.

Finding a Nest in Berlin
The key to a good settlement is to find & rent the perfect nest in Berlin to live in. Competition has grown considerably in the past few years as the city has attracted more and more people. It’s not as easy as it used to be. Here are a few tips to stay ahead of the wave.
Mission impossible? F inding a flat in Berlin has become increasingly difficult the past years due to the general gentrification of many parts of the city. Rents are have also gone up due to the renewal of the city since the beginning of the 1990’s. So
if you have heard it is very easy to find a flat in Berlin, you might be disappointed.
It is however somewhat still easier than other cities in Europe like Paris or London, due to decentralisation of the country.
With a little bit of patience (between 2 weeks and 2 months depending on your money/luck/connections) and organization you should be able to find a flat in Berlin. Here you will learn how to find your own flat to rent in Berlin. If you want more information about finding a roommate or a flat share, check our next edition. In this article are listed some types of flats that can be found, They are written in German and English. Once you have
found the areas you would like to settle in, there a different ways to find the precious nest. There are of course, a few dedicated websites. You can find the websites listed in this article. Immobilienscout24, wg-gesucht.de and Immowelt are sites with a lot of serious offers. We recommend creating an account on all of them to receive daily updates about offers with your search criteria. It’s easy and it’s quite important as it allows to be fast and be the first
- Immobilienscout24.de - Immonet.de - Immowelt.de - Wohnung-jetzt.de - Suche-neue-wohnung.de - Berlin.de.craigslist.de - Immobilienscout24.de - Ebay-kleinanzeigen.de
to reply to new inserts. Speed is key in Berlin. Be aware that most of those websites are offering unfurnished flats in Berlin. One more thing: don’t forget the deposit which can be worth 1 to 3 month of rent to pay at once. As a reference for rent price, here is a map to show the average price depending on the location in the city. It shows the average price of a 30-year-old 70m2 flat, without utilities (Kalt-Miete). In
How much should I pay for a flat in Berlin anyway? 2018-2019, you can roughly apply a 1,5 ratio on top for closer to reality prices. An other way to find a nest in the city is through connections, who knows who. Spread the word among your local friends. The benefit of finding a flat through friends and connections is that you might get a flat with its old contract which mostly is cheaper. There are a lot of cases where people leave the city and you can jump in in their nest. Another way to check is to look at the “Mietspiegel” (rent mirror), which is a database run by the city, keeping track of prices across districts. Enter your street in the tool to check the rent prices. As a rule, total costs are structured that way : Rent (Kalt Miete) + Running costs (Nebenkosten) + Utilities (Heizung & Strom). As an final advice would be, be quick, be organised and one huge factor is luck, so pray for good luck.
House types Whg (Wohnung) = flat App. (Apartment) = studio DG (Dachgeschoss) = flat located under the roofs WG (Wohngemeinschaft) = well, we explained that there Maisonette =a flat with 2 floors MFH (Mehrfamilienhaus) = multi-flat building möbl. Zi. (möbliertes Zimmer) = furnished room zur Miete = for rent; z. verm. (zu vermieten) = for rent zum Kauf = for sale
Searching for a flat in Berlin can be fun and exhausting at the same time. You only need to look the right way and join the fun.

BER LIN
:TOURISTS Photography and tourists go hand in hand, in some way or another. Whenever we see tourists there is one thing we know for sure. They will have their cameras with them. It’s a must. That’s why we can say that they go hand in hand. The problem arises when we are the ones wanting to shoot, and the whole place is full of people and all your film will get used up on pictures with people crossing by (check image on the title page, cool pic, dude crossing by). But will we leave Berlin without having those great shots we all want? The answer is NEIN!
2. STRAUSSEE Take a break from the city. Located at 30 km from the centre of Berlin, is Straussee. A beautiful lake to rest your mind, and of course, take some incredible shots like this one:
We will help you find cool places to shoot in Berlin, without having to go to the East Side Gallery (which you should, just not to shoot your precious film). 1. VICTORIAPARK Found in the coolest part of Berlin, Kreuzberg, The amazing waterfall running though can let you take some amazing shots home. Just be sure that if it’s winter, you will need to wrap up.
3. Natur-Park Schöneberger Südgelände One of the hidden gems of Berlin. Even most locals don’t know about this place.
: BUYING FILM: Finding the correct place to buy film is hard, but once you do, it’s heaven.
No better feeling than using up all your salary on 35mm film. Yeah, nowadays we can order everything online. That’s one possibility of course. But sometimes, when using old fashioned and quite technical machines, purchasing it in a shop has lots and LOTS of benefits. Usually, the salesman/or woman will know quite a bit about the topic. So this is the time when you should ask any doubts Google has not solved yet! We will guide you to the best stores where you can purchase film in Berlin:
1. Fotoimpex 2. Fotokkoti 3.Rossman 4.Jet-Foto 5.Foto Braune 6.CityLab 7.Pixelgrain 8.Asa90 Most of them also develop film

atcha is actually a milled-powder form of green tea. A single cup of Matcha contains the nutrient value of 10 cups of regular green tea. High-quality Matcha is made from young, shade-grown tea leaves that are hand-picked, de-veined, lightly steamed, air-dried and slowly stoneground into an

ultra-fine powder. A cup of Matcha has about 70 mg of caffeine compared to 100 – 200 mg of caffeine in a single cup of coffee. The health benefits of Matcha are many. The big ones include increased energy, enhanced mental focus and a sense of calm well-being. Matcha is also a tremendous source of the anti oxidants
essential for good overall health.

Speaking of Matcha and Tea Arts, there’s one shop in Mitte called “Green Tea Café MAMECHA.” Inside, some of the seats are tatami seats, which is very interesting to experience. Furthermore, the taste of Matcha is quite authentic.

atcha originated from China’s Sui Dynasty(隋), it has a history more than a thousand years. At that time it already has a complete tea ceremony of making Matcha tea, called “Tea Arts”. However since the Ming Dynasty, China began to use another easier version of method: Soak the tea leaves and throw away the slag.
Then it became popular, it was quicker and without steps of rituals in the process. Therefore, the Tea Arts had lost in China and disappeared. Nevertheless, at the end of the 9th century, a Japanese envoy went back to Japan with Matcha from China. As a matter of fact, the Tea Arts was accepted and respected by the Japanese
people. Hence they developed it into today’s “Japanese tea ceremony.” (Also could be called “Tea Arts“) Until now 21st century they still follow the traditional way of making Matcha tea. The best Matcha comes from Japan because it’s the only country with processing facilities that stone grind Matcha tea leaves into an ultra fine powder with
all those amazing nutrients intact. Other countries use cheaper methods that beat their leaves into a powder, like ball crushing and heat pulverisation, both of which produce a bitter tasting Matcha with a reduced nutrient profile.

upcycling
This is a process that transforms by-products, waste materials, useless, or unwanted products into new materials or products of better quality or for better environmental value.
Upcycled products are easily found in thrift shops or, as they can also be called, “Vintage Stores”. In Berlin many products are thrown out, which it is a mental friendly, in order to create their own brand clothing in the city. Usually, as you walk through those stores, you

They founded this company after collecting many products thrown out. They wanted to be part of upcycling and help the fashion industry. The environment of the shop is very “recycled” and the staff are very friendly with costumers. People usually trade their old clothing to new upcycled ones.

Berlin is known to be an international creative city with multicultural open-minded inhabitants. No wonder that especially here the tattoo scene flourishes. However, over the past decade the scene shifted. More and more studios stopped to only focus on the commerce
but instead on finding their own unique artistic style. Another part about the change is that more women started to work in this field while a few years ago some shops wouldn’t even consider female apprentices. With that being said, if you‘re ever in Berlin here are 4 different female artists from 3 different studios who are definitely worth checking out.
Q&A to get a better overview: 1. When and why did you start tattooing? 2. How would you describe your style? 3. What do you like about the studio you’re currently working with?

PUNK ROCK Kreuzberg?
I contacted the owner of “Franken Bar” and asked for a interview. I thought it would be a lot harder to fit in such places, a lot of rules on how to behave but she answered all my questions with only a few rules. Punk rock is about how everybody is an individual. You can go anywhere but if you’re nice and be yourself you can fit in anywhere.
Punk Rock is about that. Rebellion against the oppression. Being who you are. After the decades, it became something related to black jackets and spikes, anarchy, etc. But the basic idea remains there. They accept everyone but don’t necessarily agree with all.
you can apply to fit in more... And they could apply to everywhere too
So here you go, three basic rules
Don’t go to a club just because
Berlin is of course a city where people wear black, but that is nowhere the rule. Color is more than ok. Don’t try to follow the hype of the places.
These rules apply for almost everywhere, in my opinion. You can be however you want to be and you will find a group of people similar to you wherever you go. However, Berlin is something special. That is why people say that Berlin is the city for “black sheep”. People who are misfits come here and can be who they are on another level, because here it doesn’t matter how you are or what you do as long as you are not hurting someone else.
1. Be nice. What you give comes back. 2. Black is not always necessary. Its about the person. 3. Be yourself. Don’t try to t in with the sheep and the hype.
it is popular and you want to be seen, go because you want to. Or go to a bar if that is your thing. Following these simple rules you will fit in PUNK ROCK Kreuzberg anywhere, anytime.

East Berlin Scene
The freedom of expression in the East
BERLIN is known today across Europe as a city of culture and cultural expression. However, Berlin’s reputation would not have formed such an identity if it was not for the growing scenes in the East. Over the decades, the world has slowly started to be exposed to many of Berlin’s different identities peaking through societies cracks, such as the industrial, rebellious, punk, alternative and artistic scenes. This has created quite a stir causing huge flocks individuals leaping cross boarder and cities making their way down to East Berlin in search of their own freedom and their own identities. So, as you make your way through East Berlin, you will notice that it has been divided into communities such as Prenzlauerberg, the young alternative families. Neukӧlln, the radical artist, Kreuzberg, the fun loving hippies and Friedrichshain, the rebellious punks. Keep your mind open and breath in the free flowing atmosphere a nd identities of the East. Go visit local anarchist bars, hipster cafes, alternative fashion shops art galleries. Strike up a conversation with the locals and discover the secrets.

THE MYTH OF BERLIN Myths are immortal and they make immortal. There is this term, a French euphemism. It expresses a pleasant or desirable trait about something or someone that simply can not be described or explained. Translated into English, the term „Je ne sais quoi“ literally means „I do not know“. It can not be said for certainty what it is about the city of Berlin that makes it so desirable, emitting or almost radiating this specific feeling that can hardly be described. Yet we may consider it to be the myth that Berlin has created for itself.
I heard someone say once that cities may be read and understood like a book; they produce texts, pictures, and images which collect and store characters, atmospheres and cultural impressions. You remember each city just like you remember a person because each city is an individual being. Almost constructed of flesh and bone. Hidden alleyways and wide streets acting as veins and arteries of the city, transporting its society in constant circulation to the heart and away from it. Berlins myth creates a direct correspondence with its history and with the collective narratives that circulate and change with the talk of the town. It blends concrete views, dream images, knowledge born out of an experience, wishes, traditional tales and archetypes of attitude, forming a unique kind of truth. Which may be true to ones self and false to another. Seen in this way, the question of whether myths are true or false is redundant. The only relevant question is whether their content is coherent and inherently harmonious. Something that seems to somehow influence the city in a subtle yet determined way is the fact that Berlin
has been built on swamp grounds. Built on sand and water, constantly exposed to the winds of the sea. With seagulls somehow subsisting in the cities urban environment. One of the reasons why nothing in this city can be constant and eternal.
It is easy to get lost in these hazy, fog-filled swamp grounds. They can become a rabbit hole for many creative minds and their dreams. Behind every bar or cafe, there might be a defeated artist, lost in the mist of the city. Each winter you can witness the damp air, cold and wet streets only illuminated by street lights or the last open „Späti’s“ fluorescent neon signs. The city can easily drag you down and swallow you whole. But somehow these watery grounds also ask for the ability to constantly adapt and reinvent ones self.
Creative destruction and the constant wish to rebuild are locked together in a delicate balance here. There has always been a focus on this extraordinary energy that Berlin emits, the strength to survive and rebuild the city‘s face, the inexhaustible will to start out again from the beginning. These glittering asphalts, enticing pleasures, the pulsating life of a metropolis and unlimited possibilities for ideas and projects that the city provides
can be a playground to anyone who is willing to open up to it. From the late seventies onwards, West Berlin began integrating its underground scene into tourist-oriented city marketing campaigns, with slogans such as „metropolitan cocktail“ and „Kreuzberg nights“. In the 1990s, the status of incompleteness became Berlin’s trademark. All these continuous changes that Berlin has undergone throughout the years have shaped the cities face and result in what is now the myth of Berlin. And whatever that exactly describes may be up to each individuals interpretation. Such as the opportunities made of it.

As an individual in a relationship in this city, one needs to be head strong. Understand that there are temptations, younger, attractive and probably more easier people to get with but its very important to always keep in mind that you are building something special, something beautiful with your significant other.
Though there are families in Berlin that gives a person hope that you can hold a successful relationship but at a certain age. When you young its hard.
