Get in touch with that friend-of-a-friend who moved here last year, ask them to show you around \u201ctheir Berlin\u201d (the square mile around their apartment), and then start drawing conclusions. Try to include as many of the following ideas as you can:<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cPoor but sexy\u201d<br \/>\n<\/strong>This soundbite has been keeping journalists in copy for nearly a decade, and shows no sign of losing popularity. It\u2019s a neat shorthand for everything you\u2019re going to write, about a city full of creative people seeking refuge from the rising rents of East London, Williamsburg, or wherever they should really be living \u2013 a place so international that its (gay!) mayor&nbsp;threw an English word into its unofficial slogan.&nbsp;If you want to sound really authentic, use the German \u201carm, aber Sexy\u201d, or, if you\u2019re penning a particularly visionary piece, flip it on its head: \u201cBerlin is still sexy\u2026 but not so poor!\u201d [insert image of George Clooney stepping out of the Hotel Adlon]<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone\" alt=\"\" src=\"http:\/\/media1.giphy.com\/media\/8OXXqeYqYonIY\/giphy.gif\" width=\"500\" height=\"212\"><\/p>\n<p><strong>Mention the war<br \/>\n<\/strong>Whatever you write will reach five times as many readers if it has either the word \u201cHitler\u201d or \u201cNazis\u201d in the title. As far as you and your audience are concerned, German history starts in 1933 and ends in 1945 \u2013 and everything that\u2019s happened since can be traced back to then.

It should come out soon, in German, but for those of you who don\u2019t speak Deutsch \u2013 or Berlinerisch \u2013 here\u2019s our new&nbsp;25-point list, illustrated by the super-talented <a href=\"http:\/\/mjoaoarnaud.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Maria Jo\u00e3o Arnaud<\/a>:&nbsp;<em>What I Know About Berliners<\/em>!&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>1. Berliners are not Germans.<\/strong><br \/>\nThey\u2019re a special breed all of their own. Berliners have about as much in common with, say, Bavarians as Londoners do with people from the north of England, or New Yorkers do with the southerners in their own country.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. For example: Berliners just aren\u2019t as obsessed with punctuality as other Germans.&nbsp;<\/strong><br \/>\nSometimes, they\u2019re even late&nbsp;:O<\/p>\n<p><strong>3. Berliners don\u2019t even speak German.<\/strong><br \/>\nBerlinerisch goes so much further than saying \u201cIcke\u201d and replacing \u201cg\u201d with \u201cj\u201d \u2013 it\u2019s pretty much a whole language of its own. We vividly remember the final class in a German course after we\u2019d not mastered, but *dealt with*, everything (we thought) the language could throw at us, and our teacher played a CD of Berlinerisch. Minds were blown; tears were shed; hopes were dashed.<br \/>\n<a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/berliners-13.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" alt=\"berliners-1&amp;3\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/berliners-13.jpg\" width=\"650\" height=\"500\"><br \/>\n<\/a><strong>4. One concept that Berliners don\u2019t have their own word for is manners.<\/strong><br \/>\nIt\u2019s not that they\u2019re particularly rude, it\u2019s just that holding the door open for others, and thanking people that do so, just aren\u2019t things here. Back in London we would step over our fallen grandmother to make sure we got on the Tube, but we\u2019d at least say a polite \u201csorry\u201d as we did so.<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. Berliners are punk as fuck.<\/strong><br \/>\nAnd not just the die-hard crusties stomping through Friedrichshain, or their offspring loitering on G\u00f6rli Park. That middle-aged checkout lady with bright red hair and a few too many earrings? Your postman, who pairs his Deutsche Post uniform with cut-off shorts and beat-up Dr Martens? Punk. As. Fuck.<\/p>\n<p><strong>6. Berliners don\u2019t care what you look like.<\/strong><br \/>\nYou could be an \u00fcberhipster with a sky-high beanie and painted-on meggings, or wandering the streets in your pyjamas, and Berliners will treat you with the same indifference that they do everyone else.<\/p>\n<p><strong>7. Berliners don\u2019t wear suits, and don\u2019t trust anyone that does.<\/strong><br \/>\nIn this city, there are only two types of workers that wear business dress: landlords and politicians. And no one wants to be mistaken for either group.<\/p>\n<p><strong>8. Berliners may not always act like it, but they care.<\/strong><br \/>\nIf they have a problem with the Government, its policies, or its treatment of certain sections of society, they\u2019ll take to the streets and shout about it. No matter the state of parliamentary democracy, in Berlin grassroots activism is alive and kicking.<\/p>\n<p><strong>9. Berliners \u2013 the vegan Germans.<br \/>\n<a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/berliners-21.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-10170\" alt=\"berliners-21\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/berliners-21.jpg\" width=\"650\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/berliners-21.jpg 650w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/berliners-21-300x230.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\"><\/a><\/strong><strong>10. Berliners won\u2019t be told what to do\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>11. \u2026or what to smoke\u2026<\/strong><br \/>\nThe real problem with the new mayor of Friedrichshain-Kreuzberg\u2019s plan to decriminalise marijuana in her district? The only people to benefit will be tourists too scared to approach the dealers in G\u00f6rli Park; Berliners are going to keep smoking whatever they like, regardless of what the law says.<\/p>\n<p><strong>12. \u2026or where to smoke it.<\/strong><br \/>\nThe fact that smaller bars successfully kicked back against the 2007 smoking ban is a slight but significant signal that Berliners will NOT be told what to do. Each cigarette smoked indoors is a tiny torch of freedom, and every handmade \u201cRaucherbar\u201d sign might as well say \u201cdon\u2019t fuck with me\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>13. In Berlin, there\u2019s a fine line between independence and insanity.<\/strong><br \/>\nIn a city that has always attracted the fringe figures of western society and tested German norms to their limits, it\u2019s not always easy to tell the difference between the \u201clife artists\u201d and the crazies. Every time you see a shellshocked-looking person trudging through the streets mumbling to themselves, check their supermarket trolley for \u201cfound art\u201d or look for someone with a video camera capturing the whole \u201chappening\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>14. Berliners know how to party\u2026<\/strong><br \/>\nBerlin\u2019s awesome clubs are full of friendly people who have their drug intake well under control, and plan to keep going well into Monday morning. The only troublemakers who managed to get past the ruthless door staff are invariably Ausl\u00e4ndern. As a waiter told us on our first visit to the city, Berliners \u201cmake good party\u201d\u2026<\/p>\n<p><strong>15. \u2026but they make for the worst concert crowds we\u2019ve ever encountered.<\/strong><br \/>\nBerliners reserve their enthusiasm for the last few hours of weekend-long techno parties and hardcore punk gigs in squats. Their reaction to every other performance of every other genre of music is to stand stock still and, if they really like what they hear, occasionally unfold their arms to slowly clap.<\/p>\n<p><strong>16. Berliners can\u2019t see street art.<\/strong><br \/>\nYears of over-exposure to grafitti have led them to develop a kind of snow blindness to tags, stickers, murals etc. And with good reason: if Berliners took the time to really look at all of the street art daubed across their city, they would never make it where they were going, and in the most severe cases, their eyes would pop out of their heads.<\/p>\n<p><strong>17. Berliners talk about the weather a lot.<\/strong><br \/>\nThis is great news for us Brits, who treat complaining about the weather as a national sport, and can insert ourselves into any conversation with a few well-chosen references to \u201cSchei\u00dfwetter\u201d and \u201cSchnee\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>18. Complaining aside, Berliners make <a href=\"\/how-to-survive-a-berlin-winter\/\" onclick=\"__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', '\/how-to-survive-a-berlin-winter\/', 'surviving harsh winters');\" title=\"How to Survive a Berlin Winter\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">surviving harsh winters<\/a> look easy.<\/strong><br \/>\nThey pull on some sturdy boots, wrap themselves in layers of Jack Wolfskin, and head out to the U-Bahn, which invariably runs (pretty much) on time. Coming from a country where a few snowflakes on the train tracks brings the nation\u2019s infrastructure to a halt, winter in Berlin is refreshingly \u201cbusiness as usual\u201d.<\/p>\n<p><strong>19. For Berliners, it\u2019s never too early for ice cream\u2026<\/strong><br \/>\nAs soon as temperatures rise above O\u00b0C again, winter-weary Berliners are like \u201cfuck it, let\u2019s get Eis\u201d.<br \/>\n<a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/berliners-18.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-10173\" alt=\"berliners-18\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/berliners-18.jpg\" width=\"650\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/berliners-18.jpg 650w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/berliners-18-300x230.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\"><\/a><strong>20. \u2026or for Gl\u00fchwein.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Even when the Weichnachtmarkts won\u2019t open for months, you can pick up a cup of the hot stuff from early October onwards in your local Sp\u00e4ti. Time to swap out your morning beer for something more festive!<\/p>\n<p><strong>21. Berliners don\u2019t eat <a href=\"\/deutsches-currywurst-museum\/\" onclick=\"__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', '\/deutsches-currywurst-museum\/', 'Currywurst');\" title=\"Deutsches Currywurst Museum\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Currywurst<\/a>.<\/strong><br \/>\nIt\u2019s just a culinary joke they play on gullible tourists.<\/p>\n<p><strong>22. Berliners never set foot in the \u201ccentre\u201d of Berlin.<\/strong><br \/>\nThe closest they get to Alexanderplatz is changing U-Bahns underneath it, they know better than to venture within a square mile of the tourist trap\/construction zone around Unter den Linden, and wear the fact that they\u2019ve never seen Brandenburg Gate like a badge of honour. For Berliners, their Kiez is the real heart of Berlin.<\/p>\n<p><strong>23. Berliners don\u2019t want a new airport.<\/strong><br \/>\nThey\u2019re secretly hoping that if construction drags on any longer, the city\u2019s just going to give up and stick with TXL.<\/p>\n<p><strong>24. Berliners don\u2019t hate tourists, they hate douchebags.<\/strong><br \/>\nIf you come here and <a href=\"\/25-tourist-tricks-to-rediscovering-berlin\/\" onclick=\"__gaTracker('send', 'event', 'outbound-article', '\/25-tourist-tricks-to-rediscovering-berlin\/', 'treat Berlin like your personal playground');\" title=\"25 Tourist Tricks to Rediscovering Berlin\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">treat Berlin like your personal playground<\/a>, blaring your way through Sunday morning leaving a trail of broken beer bottles in your wake, then locals will (justifiably) hate you. Even if you\u2019re just staying in a holiday apartment that is intended for residential use, they\u2019ll probably still hate you \u2013 but that\u2019s your douchebag landlord\u2019s fault. In Berlin, you get what you give \u2013 and if you disrespect the city, it will disrespect you right back.<br \/>\n<a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/berliners-24.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-full wp-image-10172\" alt=\"berliners-24\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/berliners-24.jpg\" width=\"650\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/berliners-24.jpg 650w, \/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/12\/berliners-24-300x230.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 650px) 100vw, 650px\"><\/a><br \/>\n<strong>25.
