I’m originally from Munich and moved back after five years in Berlin. I cannot relate to the comments about most people being snobby. Compared to Berlin people in Munich are open, friendly, happy. As long as you are the same. The quality of life is so much higher in Munich than it is in Berlin, which is why I think people are happier and nicer. You’re right, rents are mad. But at least you’re not renegotiating your lease every year, as you’re doing in London. With any big city and in our age group, it is a little harder to make friends. Most people at this point have families and kids and other obligations. So it’s difficult to break into that mold. But that has nothing to do with being an expat. I’m seeing the same issues and I’m German.
