I lived in Berlin for almost 4 years and it lost all of the appeal during that time.
It’s hip and cool to visit, but if you actually live there and have to take the subway to work at 7 when all the drunk clubbers are just getting home, reeking of weed, booze, vomit, and piss, it’s not so fun anymore. Plus it’s really really dirty in most somewhat central locations.
Stockholm on the other hand is awesome, fully agree. Might as well throw Oslo and Helsinki into the mix. And Reykjavik for good measure. I really love the Nordics.
Pro tip: Riga is like a cheap cousin of Stockholm. Just as nice at a quarter of the price.
That Windows store never worked for me. I tried to buy something out of perceived convenience once, and tried to install some freeware once or twice (7zip and something else), and it never worked. On a genuine, activated Windows, that is. Never bothered to try again.
Other sources are talking about a hard landing rather than a crash. Apparently they were already on the descent and wind forced one helicopter down in a wooded area not too far off the landing zone. Still doesn’t sound pretty, but at least more survivable than an outright crash.
Was iTunes popular outside of the US? Everyone I know hated they intrusive software and DRM that prevented you from playing the songs elsewhere. Don’t think I know a single person who actually purchased music there.
I’ve been with wise for a solid decade, never experienced any issues.
My main bank is DKB in Germany since 2004 and I’ve since moved countries 8 times without problems, but I think they don’t allow non-residents to open the account in the first place. Might have changed though, they are solid.
