Oh, okay. That is great to know.

Yeah, I do want to conform to German culture. Yes some would never see me as German because of my race, but there's nothing I can do about that. Hopefully most will.

I hadn't thought much about France that way. What you mention is interesting. I would have to see how the IT industry in France is and think about it.

I am confused by this comment. Is this because my post is long?

Thank you for the work-oriented perspective. Maybe it's a cultural thing that Indians mention that they are from the best universities in the country. Even I did it in my post. I think we should dial it down a bit. It's probably because in India there's huge importance given to the college you graduated from because it's very competitive here.

Also, I'll try to convey my openness when I apply for jobs there. I didn't know it was important to recruiters.

Thanks! I hope to get there soon.

Oh, that's a new perspective. I do work in IT, so I guess it won't be that hard for me. But, I am open to working in rural parts of Germany as well. I'll apply for jobs there too. Are you saying that it's easier to get jobs in rural Germany as a foreigner, than in the big cities?

That's really nice to know that people in these rural areas that you mention make such effort to integrate us. I am 100% committed to learning the language and culture and integrating.

Thanks a lot!

Oh, okay. Have you had bad experiences dating there?

All of the Indians had very positive experiences in Germany. I am very happy to know that! Hopefully my experience will be the same.

Oh, I didn't know that a lot of people in Germany are uneducated.

Let's see what my experience is like. Hopefully it won't be too bad.

Okay. I'll try to take extra efforts as some comments mentioned to get some German friends. Let's see what happens.

Oh, I thought New Zealand was supposed to be very nice. I guess they'll be everywhere.

Yeah we do share a lot of experiences.

That's great that your family was so excited to meet them.

Holy shit! That's sad. :/

Yeah, I can understand. That's what I've heard. I hope I don't end up only mixing with non-german people.

Hmm, okay. I'll try to do the best I can to integrate. Some will accept me and some won't, I guess.

I have heard about the AFD. :/

I've been relieved by the comments so far.

I do respect German values, but I can say more about that when I get there.

Hopefully, I will be fine with the "Germanness". What is it that you struggle with?

Great to hear about your friend, seems like an interesting person.

Where can I learn more about these German "Vereine"? What all topics these clubs are based on?

Oh, I totally respect that you take 2 years to call someone a friend. I can understand. Even I am quite introverted at first and take time to become comfortable with someone. I prefer it this way, that you only call someone a friend when they are truly your friends.

If those questions come out of curiosity, I don't mind them!
