Maybe due to me being terminally online and negative impressions being more visible (after all if your life is going well why would you complain online), i would like to start a thread for what we appreciate in Germany as immigrants (or not!). Hope this is not silly:
I will start:
\- Worker's right: insanely good, especially considering that immigration is tied to work, it makes for an ease of mind. Also ALG1 as an insurance is top notch. \- Schengen: eh this is a EU wide thing but being able to travel all around europe is fun on your vacations. \- Public transportation: not counting DB but in the cities I find public transportation such as busses and trams to be reliable, i don't like cars so this is a big for me. \- Nature: not a big nature guy but greenery all around is nice. I have friends who are big on this.
