10 Things I Learned in Berlin

1. According to young Berliners people from Munich are shit and the music they listen to is shit.
2. Pre-made cocktails are sold at gas stations in 12 oz aluminum cans.
3. In former East Berlin the WALK street light symbol is characterized by a striding leprechaun.
4. The TV tower isn't filled with TVs.
5. Techno music IS popular (We were all correct).
6. Most dancing-music-type clubs don't "get going" until around 4am.
7. Berlin's obsession with Andy Warhol and his Velvet Underground banana image is REALLY annoying.
8. "Dark" restaurants are cool.
9. Nine out of every ten Berliners between the ages of 20 and 30 is a graphic designer.
10. Half of Brooklyn has already moved to Prenzlauerberg (Kiev is the new Berlin).
