Prenzlauer Berg

So where do you live, by the way? Which region do you live?

In Prenzlauer Berg.

Prenzlauer Berg, right?

Mm-hmm.

Okay, that's also different.

I think no German on Prenzlauer Berg will talk about this Grundschule [laughs] for kids.

So for me, it was fine.

[laughs] I mean, this is, like, a really the most usual school you can ever imagine.

And that was so good for me to do, to go to Berlin and to move to Berlin.

And of course, after about five, six months of living in Prenzlauer Berg, I ain't going to Kreuzberg.

Are you kidding me? You think I'm going to go to Charlottenburg? Forget it.

I'm not getting on the tram, you know, you know, it was like, we just, so we just fall into those tracks as Thoreau was talking about, but that's how the mind is.

Yeah, sure.

Um, so if you're going for like a, um, like a Soho-type vibe, you know, like younger, uh, more wealthier type of crowd, um, cleaner streets and so like, uh, more, more expensive like upscale shops, um, you could go to Prenzlauer Berg, for example.

Everyone from Berlin is gonna be, uh, smiling now because it's not really a, it's not really a hot take to go there if you want to have coffees.

Um, I do have some banger, uh, recommendations though for places you could visit.

And, uh-

...

in like Prenzlauer Berg.

I don't know how to...

So this is kind of what, you know, if you think about levels, Peter levels, you know, just get extremely rich, have like a net worth of, you know, 20 something million, whatever.

Then you're like, okay, I'm just going to buy a huge house or like, you know, even the proto version of this is you could buy a whole entire building in Prenzlauer Berg and and then you could be this sort of center of gravity for people who you want to spend time around.

And I see people do this relatively successfully where they accumulate so much wealth that they are the center of gravity of their social pool because everyone's like, yeah, I want to live that.

I want to be around where this person's doing stuff because it's just...

that's perfect.

And it's a little bit of an issue, I think, because if you live in Berlin, especially in Berlin Mitte or Prenzlauer Berg, where, you know, like a lot of young people are and everybody speaks very fluent English usually.

Yeah.

As someone coming to Germany, I think it's really hard to learn the language, even if you're other than Colleen really want to learn the language, because people will instantly switch to speak English to you.
