Fucking tourists. Look at them – standing there in the bike lane, with a beer in each hand and a gormless grin on their face, oblivious to the bitter Berliners bearing down on them, piston legs powered by resentment and\u2026 is that\u2026 envy?\u00a0They may be morons, but they seem so happy, like little children caught up in the wonderment of what is, for them, the biggest urban playground Europe has to offer.<\/p>\n

Well, why should they have all the fun? After three years in the city, we figured we deserve a break from reality as much as any easyjetsetter.
