An Irishman in Berlin

<p>Say one day a lad decides to move to Berlin&hellip; Why Berlin? There could be plenty of reasons. Say, to begin with, the lad wants to escape. He&rsquo;s young, he&rsquo;s fed up with the life he has to live, things he has to do&hellip; nasty things perhaps. Then, naturally, a question of &lsquo;where to&rsquo; arises. The lad has heard about Berlin: it&rsquo;s cheap, it never sleeps, and you can get by without speaking German. Besides, there&rsquo;s a buddy of his living there, who one day sends the lad a map of Berlin&rsquo;s rapid transit system. And just like that the lad packs a backpack and goes through the door and to the train station &mdash; never to return. That lad is&nbsp;<em>you</em>. You want change, you want fun, you want experience. Oh, you will get plenty of that living in Berlin.</p> <p><img alt="" src="https://miro.medium.com/v2/resize:fit:700/1*sDywQnNh98XzHTKBDLMZSQ.jpeg" style="height:700px; width:700px" /></p> <p>Photo-collage by the author</p> <p>You do arrive, and settle in, and even start on your German. You have got almost too much experience for your liking during your first year in the City,</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@amiga505/an-irishman-in-berlin-bd9a912a28cb"><strong>Visit Now</strong></a></p>
