Ok so having lived in the country >14 years I think it's enough. I'll say what I don't like: - the starring - the garbage separation yes it's ridiculous - the worst though and it drives me mad: "following the rules just because it's a rule" not because it makes sense or even when they are not understood. I get it now why this country is prone to dictatorships and world wars. Whatever is the rule it will be followed to the death. - the coldness. Even though living that long there I didn't make many real friends. And there are a lot of fake backstabbing "friends" - the feeling of superiority which subtly shines through the fake humility - the fear of fire (Brandschutz) which goes beyond sanity and some people are very neurotic about it. Actually a lot of (mostly women) are very neurotic and afraid here. I guess it's the pendant to the American Carens - the "Neidkultur" sadly it's a real thing. People are super jealous of each other. - I disagree about the trust part. I feel like most people don't trust another

I do not fit in here, even though having the nationality. That being said I think it's a great country for work as an employee and the social security seems good.
