Before going to Berlin, I had the impression it would be similar to Copenhagen. Since as you know I had a bad time in Copenhagen, my expectations were quite low (i.e. I was prepared for the worst). So I was quite surprised that Berlin was a pleasant city. I only stayed for two days, so here is a brief recap:
-There are tons of foreigners here, especially Spain, Portugal, and France. If you stay in the center, you actually won't come across many native Berliners. It's sort of like DC in that it's a melting pot.
-The tourist center has a ton of museums, rivaling that of the Smithsonian in DC. I only had time to visit one, the DDR museum which showed how it was like to live in East Germany. Recommended.
-I went to one bar called Luzia (Oranienstabe 34) which was decent on a Saturday night. The ratio was almost equal early in the night but most of the girls were Spanish. My friend and I got far with two Italian women who were ready to go to our place, but they were older and average so I declined in the end. I can see this bar being a place to get ONS on somewhat cute girls. I also met a pretty Ukrainian girl, but she was married. This bar reminded me of my DC days when I used to go to Marvin. I had more fun here than in a typical Polish club.
-The city itself has a corporate feel. I stayed in the Eastern part near Alexanderplatz. I expected more of a hipster vibe but I didn't find that.
-Germans have a really excellent hello greeting (click play button to listen: http://www.forvo.com/user/sterre1611/ ). It's cheery and warm.
-German girls seem to be stout and generally average, but very blonde. I did meet a pretty German girl in the cafe who had a most excellent bubbly personality, but she was married.
-From Berlin I took a train to Warsaw, where the jump in quality was immediate and obvious. Polish girls are definitely on a higher level than German.
-The Blockhouse Restaurant in the center is a decent tourist steakhouse.
Overall it was an enjoyable trip. My instinct tells me that Berlin would be fun for younger guys who have the energy to do a lot of sightseeing and clubbing. Your best bet at getting laid would probably be with a foreign girl. Thanks to everyone for giving me advice in this thread.
