Berlin is the biggest city in Western Europe besides London, if you count London out there in England. So, big city, huge, tons and tons of people, but tons of refugees. There's not only German-speaking, but there's Chinese, there's Persian, there's Turkish, and Spanish. So there's a lot of cultures out there. You're going to meet not only just Germans, but people from all sorts of other faiths, especially people from strong Muslim backgrounds.
