I'm a simple emigrant and joyful

But more and more I encounter opinions that Germany, and Frankfurt in particular, are very depressing. I can't agree with such an opinion, but I can understand it. Usually, three cities are highlighted: Berlin, Munich and Frankfurt. I don't know Munich very well, because our relationship with it is exclusively in the evening/night time. It just happens that in a few occasions I haven't really seen it in daylight at all. We'll deal with the others in order. Berlin. A very bright city, there are many colors, an enormous amount of entertainment for every taste and color. I would also not call it a dirty city, or a city where it's hard to see prospects and develop β€” there are plenty of opportunities. But, in my view, there are many reasons for depression. First, history: school knowledge, chunks of the Berlin Wall, monuments to the victims β€” all of this really weighs on you. Second, the classic effect of big cities, where it seems that everyone is in one big anthill, but everyone is inevitably more successful than you and their life is more interesting, and their dogs' fur shines brighter, although you don't even have fur. Well, and I would call it a city of freedom, and where there is freedom, the desire to think about everything in the world is felt especially sharply, which also often leads to depression. Frankfurt. And it's considered a reason for happiness that you can easily leave here anywhere? I hope so. Here it's pleasant to walk, everything is designed for cyclists, and electric scooters are gaining momentum now. However, many things can cause depression here. For example, overall greyness. The architecture combined with the weather, which is warm, but not particularly sunny, and often simply rainy, lends the whole place a special charm. Some districts here are really dirty, there are many beggars and simply strange wanderers. This city requires you to resist it in order to stay cheerful all the time. But don't worry, rejoice in the new opportunities of each day, and all this greyness will stay away from you. And what do you think, is the city you live in depressing or joyful? #German_trips
