HONESTLY, I came to germany with my boyfriend, he got a job, I started a masters in chemistry, Germany is CRAP, to say the least, the people are cold and arrogant and you cant discuss science with them, its just an uphill struggle to prove you know as much as them....the beurocracy here is SO bad - it takes ages to get anything done, if I were you Id have a look at scandinavia, I am now and I wish someone had given me this advice before... on the other hand the beer in germany is well cheap!!!!
