The beards.
While I get the long beard action most of the year -it is Northern Europe after all, and it is really, really cold for months of the year, and if I could grow more than these three hairs on my chin that I hate to admit I have, I would probably grow a beard in the winter as well- how does having that mich wool on your face in hot, muggy humid summer make sense!?
The pretentious coffee shops
"Sorry, we don't serve milk with our pour overs, not sorry"
"we're a coffee shop, we don't seve decaf" when I wanted coffee at 1500 (that's 3:00 pm American friends ;) but also wanted to sleep that night and made the mistake of ordering decaf.
Tattoos
Some really amazing tattoos as well as some really terrible ones (although I have to say- on average, the overall quality of the ink in Berlin is better than in Portland based on my non statistically significant and totally opinion based observations).
Maybe it's because I am on the outside of the age range bell curve to truley be in the "hipster" demographic and I'm too old to get it?
If I'm being totally honest I vacillate between loving and hating it on a minute by minute basis.
Hi Hun, good to read your Berlin posts! Keep 'em coming, Clau xx
