Doing Things the German Way!

There is a lot that the UK and Germany have in common. However, there are enough differences between the two great nations to make moving to Germany potentially one of the most exciting decisions that you’ll ever make, whether you’re moving for a short stay or looking to become a fully-fledged emigre.

First we’ll examine the similarities between Britain and Germany that will make moving to the country seem a little less daunting. For instance, just like the UK, Germany enjoys a great transport infrastructure (which undoubtedly benefits from a bit of German efficiency), this makes getting around the major cities like Berlin or Munich pretty easy.

Of course, you aren’t likely to be moving to Germany just for the transport, as Germany happens to have the largest economy in Europe; therefore you can expect all the little luxuries that you’ll find at home, plus plenty of job oppourtunities in the ‘manufacturing capital’ of Europe.

Germany isn’t all about hard work and efficiency; however, and despite having a reputation to the contrary, it is nowadays home to some truly world class cuisine, with cities such as Munich beginning to rival gastronomic capitals like London and Paris in terms of the quality of its food.

There is an old adage that you tease the one that you love, and it is a testament of our closeness with the culture and national behaviour that we are so apt at pointing out our differences. In reality, anyone relocating to Germany from the UK will be surprised at the wealth of cultural intrigue on offer, but also the likeness it bears to their homeland.
