I always thought I was neutral towards Berlin. That I could easily be happier elsewhere. Now I’m realizing what I actually love about it.
The chaos in the U-Bahn, especially U8. The districts like Kreuzberg and Neukölln.
You get to meet people at varying distances—from brief encounters to familiar faces to actual friends. Watching movies at Yorck Cinema reminds me of Zawya in Cairo.
Attended concerts of some of my favorite artists: Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Anouar Brahem and London Grammar.
