Berlin is a city surrounded by countryside rather than being a city surrounded by yet more cities. The low population density of former East Germany makes that possible, like a city with a second chance with better planning this time. The Las Vegas like 24 hour party-energy of West Berlin dissipated as the walls fell and those parts of West Berlin which once felt heavily urban like New York, now feel quiet and suburban. But part of that urban feel was driven by young people moving to Berlin to avoid military service and a lot of conventions scheduled there to keep the Berlin economy going at full tilt when it was totally surrounded by an odd police state. Much of the business convention traffic has been moved to Dresden and Leipzig. There was a huge software conference in Dresden last time we were there. Muslim and Russian money has indeed turned London into a huge construction project. Slumy areas like Balham have turned tony as the English are forced out of the central part of their city by owners in the Middle East and Russia. Many native Londoners now rent former slum properties from their Polish owners. It's little wonder that English voters wanting these Polish interlopers deported back to Catholic Eastern Europe where they came from drove much of of the Brexit vote. Foreigners like yourself living in London usually find the Polish far less offensive than the English do because you're from a far different culture where Anglicans and Catholics mix easily, even with Polynesians! I'm sure you can imagine the stir a Haka would cause in London. The English would likely think "the cannibals" had invaded.
