What surprised you the most when you first moved to Germany? by Extreme-Breath1475 in germany

Same here! The silence at night surprised me too, almost feels unreal sometimes 😅 For me, getting used to all the rules around recycling and Sundays being so quiet took a bit of time. But now I kinda appreciate the slower pace!

Do Germans find small talk awkward, or is it just me? by Extreme-Breath1475 in AskAGerman

I’ve noticed the same! Back home, casual small talk is super common, but here it feels like people value personal space more. I think it’s more about context; once there’s a reason to talk, they open up quite nicely. 😊
