Is there something about living in a city that decreases its beauty? Is there a positive correlation between how much you love a city and how many hours flying it takes you to get there? Is there a minimum amount of borders to be crossed to forget about the stresses of your life?
Fuck no.
Every city has it's own good and bad parts. Melbourne for example has amazing restaurants and bars with cuisines and brews from around the world. It has one of the best stadiums in the world hosting the best sporting events. On the downside, Melbourne can experience erratic weather and seems to have an obsession with tacky reality TV about cooking, singing and renovations.
No matter where you live, it has more to offer than any one person can take advantage of, so try to take advantage of as much as you possibly can. Go out on a weeknight, get coffee somewhere you normally wouldn't, go and support your city's team in a sport you normally wouldn't care for. Little things like these can make your hometown much more appealing and exciting.
If nothing else, at least it will colour in that grey time before you can finally get to go back to Berlin or New York.
