About Me:
hallo Zusammen (Hi everyone), I'm Diana! 😀I am a Canadian expat from Toronto and I have been living and working in Berlin for 5 ears at a tech startup. ☾ On my channel, I share my experiences and thoughts on living and working abroad as an expat in Germany. Thanks for your support ☮
In this video I talk about how Germany and Berlin has changed since I moved here.

I write this message for anyone who wants to move to Berlin. I am Italian and have moved here an year ago from the UK and I regret it a bit. Here are a few things to consider.
1. The weather is really horrible freezing in the winter, sometimes there is no sunshine for weeks and the summer is excruciatelly hot.
2. Locals are not particularly friendly or even nice especially if you don't speak German fluently.
3. The burocracy is absurd and they don't speak English in some offices.
4.Most neighbourhood are extremely dirty especially Kreuzberg, wedding, Gesundbrunnen, Neukölln.
5. It's full of homeless and drug addicted
6. It's very difficult to find a Flat
7. It's becoming increasingly gentrified
8. It's becoming very expensive
Obviously there are many good things too about Berlin especially if you're in your twenties and your main goal is to party and sleep around, but that's not me so I'm planning to move somewhere else.
I love partying and sleeping around. Berlin is good for this?
No, unless your rainbow. Women are feminists.
I did short terms leases for my first year as well. It's actually kind of nice to figure out which hood you want to live in. Thanks for all the tips per usual:)
Definitely! That was the silver lining of moving around so much the first year 😅 thanks for watching 🤍
Verry little info sorry a bunch of fluff

I've stopped searching for a new flat although I'd like to move into something bigger after almost 8 years of nearly 30qm. The only thing that is mollifying me is that I live in the central of Berlin and my rent is pretty low (for the area, not the qm).
The tight rental market in Berlin is no joke. It is very difficult to get a rental now in Berlin, saw another video of someone going to a viewing and there were already 50 people in line before the showing 😵
Have also heard of flat swaps and someone from Amsterdam swapping flats with someone in Berlin but not sure how legal that is....
It’s really wild!
Really nice
Diana, how much years do you think you will stay in Germany?
The scams around housing have also exploded! I moved here 40 years ago and even then things were difficult, but now there are so many people trying to take advantage of the desperation of people moving here, especially with the need to register your apartment officially.
100% so crazy!
Does it make a city a better place if a lot of people move there in a very short time, not because of a job or because they love the local culture or because of friends and family, but because they believe it is the hot spot of the moment?
You do realise that with every card payment bank is making money, and the people with business are the ones actually paying for that “convenience”?
While with every cash payment Euronet is making money (4 eur fee for withdrawing). It’s not the costs that stops places from accepting card payments. It’s the logs of payment and the necessity to declare all the transactions. Cash payments enable tax evasion.
you do realize that, some people value convenience over money and it would be nice to have options
Deutsch ist nicht so schwierig zu lernen. It would be sad to see Deutschland go the same way as the USA Nobody wants to live in the Tower of Babel. Please have the grace and courtesy to learn their language.
Heya. What German language schools would you recommend in and around Berlin/Potsdam?
Goethe Institute is best.
Short term intensive classes are doing wonders.
They teach you for three months and you will be able to speak fluently.
Whenever I met people e. g. from China or Japan with really good German skills they were trained at Goethe Institute.
Of course they were from educated families and already spoke English very good.
But still, best results.
Flat situation in Berlin? Can't be that bad like here in Munich. Why do you need to move? And how would flat swapping work technically? Never heard of that. I assume that the flat owner won't accept a new tenant without adjusting the rent.

Well, hundrets or thousands of youtubers have presented for a decade now to the whole world "how great Berlin is". ➡ logically more people from everywhere are coming now and making the rental apartment situation worse and worse... It's just sad, that other towns are not so cool, have not developped enough, so that it concentrates on very few cities in Germany where people want to be.
I'm exaggerating but since everyone wants, needs, has to live within the same 15,5 qkm and all other places are unacceptable, no wonder. This is not unique to Berlin.
The flat situation is soooo true! 😫
... also a result of so many people coming to Germany - and rich people buying whole houses for just a week or two of vacation in Germany.
🙃😔
Well, there are other German towns where a flat or a house is still affordable...just saying...
Current numbers say only 0.9% of flats in Berlin are free for rental. This means in reality there is only a market for 'rent exchange'. Even very deep pockets are not enough anymore. This is some old crazy DDR sh*t. Cold hart truth: You need to BUY a flat or move outside (Brandenburg) and commute. My 72m² flat was sold for 420.000€! Makes no economic sense anymore.
you start to worry once the card readers wont work or got hacked

Really truly you took the words out of my mouth! It is so hard to find an apartment/flat in Germany, even in a "smaller" district like Aachen it has taken me two months of constantly applying to multiple flats, attend viewings only to find rejections! To top it off, I'm an international student, don't know the hesitation of rental companies and landlords with international students but they just blatantly refuse to do online viewings. Might just have to sleep at the Bahnhof when I get here! 😂
Of course they don't give an apartment to some nobody on the internet.
You are not even in Germany yet.
Better take a hotelroom for your first month because Germany has freezing temperatures.
Your university doesn't offer rooms for students from abroad? Very strange.
Of course nobody gives any apartment to you in Aachen.
They don't know if you bother to show up in Aachen at all. Maybe you will be sent back into your home country at the airport.
The apartment owners cannot take this risk.
They are not interested in having the hustle of talking to applicants every six or twelve months. In small towns like Aachen renters stay in their apartments for 5 to 10 years.
As soon as you are in Aachen and talk to them in person it will be different. You need a bank account at a German bank and you need someone to guarantee that you are a trustworthy person. Maybe your parents transfer three months of rent as a guarantee.
Same guarantee is needed when Germans apply for apartments.
Native Germans need to show printouts from their workplace.
Three months of salary printouts and a guarantee from employer that they were not fired and are working there.
Germans need a certificate from Schufa. This makes sure they don't have unpaid depts or credit frauds going on.
In small cities people make inquiries about each other. If you are from a respected and trustworthy family you can find an apartment. If your family is known for being not reliable you have no chance to find an apartment.
You could try to find a room at a students shared accommodation.
Four or six people sharing an apartment. There are always some students leaving for some weeks and you could take their room while they are gone.
very quiet audio make it louder
Moin Diana, herzlichen Glückwunsch zum Geburtstag! Grüße aus Hamburg Eva Neis Day
Danke dir! 🥺
Just cut the lengthy go around intros
I love your channel - I lived in Germany for 4+yrs and wish I’d never left. I wish I was young again, I’d go back in a heartbeat.
Thank you ❤️😊
Please no credit cards. I don't want to pay ~1.5% of my hard earned money directly to the banks!
@@user-sm3xq5ob5d Not for the shops. If they accept CC payment, they have to pay.
@@user-sm3xq5ob5d Funny how you will scare a shop that doesn't accept credit cards.
@@user-sm3xq5ob5d Happens every day at the shops mentioned in the video; doesn't seem to be a problem for them.
Garlic _powder_ ? Onion _powder_ ?
I would feel offended, would a restaurant use this crap.
So what size plant is allowed to be served as a powder then? And what grain size is powder again. Pepper or mustard certainly don't seem to be a problem...in germany they use a lot of "paprika" powdered to produce the one type of crisp flavour that seems to generally always be available. Drying and powdering any plant is a way to intensify flavour and spread it more evenly across the dish. If you don't like something, fine, but don't tell my restaurant what it may serve me.
@@theopuscula Garlic and onions are available in Germany in every second home garden. If you think, you need to add it as a powder, do as you wish. I wouldn't visit your restaurant again.
@@peter_meyer And bell peppers are available in every store at cheap prices...so are whole pepper grains mustard grains etc. as said before, there is a culinary reason to do this to products. Onions and garlic are pretty common ingredients that are available locally grown across the world; those people using powders don't do so because they need to for preservation.
@@theopuscula Just do your thing. As i said, wouldn't visit your place again.
@@peter_meyer Great
Good food? Flavour? Really? You're a vegan!!! 😎
Vegan food is fabulous. Thanks for the video.💚
disgisting city
Why would I want to see multicultural when I visit another country?
Why not it's the fucking capital lol
@@jansojele289 so it's like any other city. Just gayer. Pass
@@SeriouslyAwesome idk man
@@SeriouslyAwesome why were you interested in Berlin in the first place?
@@jansojele289 getting an idea of how much it's changed since I was last there
Berlin sucks. The problem is that for some reason people like to brag about Germany and it really sucks when you live here
In what ways?
@@petermalbin1629
1. Overpriced
2. Ugly, the buildings have no charm
3. Difficult to find where to live
4. Tiny
People from many countries: Yes. Multicultural: No, most the inmigrants (not expats) are from arab coutries with the same islamic culture.To say people from Asia is half the truth, 90% of those asian come from muslim countries...... and where do you see latinos? You could call berlin new afghanistan, in fact you can call all of germany just that.
