My rwo cents:
I'm an American, been living in southern Germany for a year. My husband's job brought us here. I like Germany, but don't think I would stay here forever. I also don't think I'd go back to the U.S. though... My experience here has been very similar to the U.S... people can be very nice and helpful here, and they can be rude jerks... just depends... There is some level of racism here, just like in the U.S. and pretty much anywhere... I think cities (in any country) are worse for this than the country (we live in the country and even though I speak very little German, people have been very nice and helpful.) So you want to move to Germany?, 05/06/2008 10:30
