what are the best cities to be a bohemian in? based on artisticness, cost of living, and tropicalness. and can you move to berlin completely broke and knowing no german?
I don't know anything about "the best bohemian cities"... Why not be a bohemian in every city, or at least in the city you're in now? Anyhow, even if you move to Berlin knowing no German, you'll pick it up eventually. Best way to learn, right? Still, if you do move there, you should try to learn a few phrases first... like please, thank you, sorry, and "where's the bathroom?" lol.
There are "bohemian" subcultures in most major cities. Depends what sort of scene you're looking for.
Prague? Vienna? Monaco? Those have always struck me as pretty Bohemian... but then again I only loosely know what the term bohemian implies.

Everyone in Germany knows how to speak english and Berlin is an international city....you'll have no problem, but to learn a few terms and phrases cant hurt And I think Bohemian is a state of mind......but I immediately thought of Portland, Oregon
Encinitas and Cardiff, CA My hometown. There's: Self Realization Fellowship Moonlight Beach Swami's Beach E. Street Cafe Good Morning Store Swamis Donuts 454 Tattoo Parlor Etc.
I'd say, the second part of that sentence is quite true - however, having first-hand experience in working in internet/tech support for a regional German telecommunications provider, I can very safely say, that not everyone speaks English... :jester: Berlin has its quarters, where subcultures (not only of the Bohemian kind) can be found, and where people are quite open-minded and tolerant about others. Thinking of cities outside of Germany, I wonder, why the Free Town Christiania in Copenhagen (Denmark) hasn't been named as a prime example yet. It began in 1971, when former military barracks in the borough of Christianshavn in Copenhagen were squatted. By now, it has become a partially self-governing neighborhood of about 850 residents. However, since 2004, the "official" Danish government has begun to veer off their previous course of tolerance, by trying to establish a "normal legal status", which has led to conflict. Until 2003, it was possible to buy marijuana openly at street market stands in Christiania... of course, that was also on the agenda to be banned by the "officials". :spliff: The action taken by the police against Christiania residents in last year (May 14, 2007), when the people protested against demolition of buildings in their quarter, and the street fights originating from that might still be in your memory. Even though the freedom of that quarter is by and by limited by "official" government measures, Christiania still remains among the Bohemian places, IMHO. Even though Denmark is not quite known to be tropical, for sure. Here is Christiania's own online guide to their realm: http://www.christiania.org/inc/guide/?lan=gb&side=1 ~*Ganesha*~
