Anyone live in Germany?
Discussion
Hallo Zusammen 
But are any English speaking petrolheads in East Germany? Near Neubrandenburg maybe?
PS: I can't complain about living in Germany that much since I came here from pootinstan. Yeah, there are some cons, but not that major

German train efficiency is from many many years ago.king lufthansa strike, another weekend of them fking me overAlso the trains (and possibly trams and underground in Frankfurt) also on strike

t only happened in the UK and the EU was the land of milk and honey?Yes, it certainly seems that the german trade unions are descending into the depths of british trade-unionism from the late 60s and 70s. Most of their T.U. leaders are ex-"socialists" from the DDR and seem to be bent on causing as much of a ruck to assist their "friend" Poootin... that's the way it appears to me.
Don't they realise that this is a time where we ALL must cinch our belts a bit tighter, there is work for all here, only nobody feels that they actually want to work!!!
PS next rail strike to begin Thursday, and the commie GDLführer says that they will be striking "without notice" later!!!!

Just found this thread and thought I'd join the conversation as well. I'm another American that has been living in Frankfurt for the past two years.
I probably have a different living situation than most, but for day-to-day life the major German cities seem to have same amenities that you'd expect in most western cities. Outside of everything being closed on Sundays, you can find most anything you need from groceries, drug stores, food delivery, electronics/clothes, etc. Public transit is widely available within major cities, but it's typically behind schedule. There are certainly pros and cons to German culture, and the cons can grind on your once the european charm wears off.
Car culture is pretty good in Germany, obviously. There are many cool car museums and private storage collections you can view. The autobahn is a lot of fun, but you do have to stay very alert of traffic. Drivers on average tend to be better here, but there are still plenty of idiots that means you have to pay close attention.
I realize this thread is a few months old now, but nice to see a few other people in this region!

Sounds like theres a few of us in Frankfurt, well have to arrange a meet up at one of those expat events so we dont look like total weirdos 
Recently ive been getting the train for work, theres an option for 50 euros a month, you can ride on all the trains across the country (might not be able to get the intercity types, not sure), but 50 euros for the whole network inc. trams, buses etc. fk me is that a deal. I remember (and still do sometimes) pay 25 for a daily return into central london.
