GERMANY AT A GLANCE

Living in Germany is a perfect mixture of stress free lifestyle, high standard of living, dignity of labor, an interesting historical background and a bunch of memorable experiences.

Besides, there are a few points which all students who wish to Study in Germany must keep in mind as this would mentally prepare the students for their future journey.

The Euro is the national currency of Germany. Of course you know it but, since you are coming from a country where a different currency is used, make sure you exchange it for Euros and help yourself to buy goods or take any other service. Or the alternative option for you is to make use of debit and credit cards. Moreover, if you care for getting around, knowing a bit of German language would be recommended as it is the national language. Although you will meet a lot of English speakers, knowing at least the basic slangs would be favorable as you don’t want to get frowned upon not knowing how to greet the German folks in their native language. However, learning the whole German would require a great deal of effort since the grammatical rules are difficult. You can further enroll in a language school in your town where you could learn the language with convenience.

Living in Germany brings a term called ‘busyness’ in your lifestyle. You will always find yourself engaged in doing something. But this doesn’t affect the peacefulness of the nation at all. Wherever you will be living in Germany, peace will always follow. The night clubs and pubs are an exception where you can’t expect a quiet environment but some raving electronic beats. Other than that, you won’t be able to find any corruption in the country.

Germans never fail to care for the rules. They follow both written and unwritten laws and consider them no less than a religious tradition. Break the rule and you would get to know the consequences afterwards. Either you will be given a very bad look by the people or you should be prepared to get yelled by someone. So make sure to aware yourself of all the dos and don’ts in the German land.  The rules in Germany include the trash too. You will find garbage bins for all kinds of garbage and the time for recycling is prescribed for recycling the same. Germany is an environmentally friendly country, so brush up on your recycling dexterity and make yourself aware as to which material goes in which bin while you are moving to Germany.

It would be recommended if you check your grocery items, dairy products, etc. on Saturday morning itself as you won’t be able to buy anything right from Saturday evening till the Sun shines on Monday. This might sound strange but yeah, this is true. Sunday is the day of rest. So just buy your Sunday bread one day prior so that you don’t run short on your breakfast. The transportation routes in Germany are built for all kinds of vehicle. However, bicycling is quite common on the German streets and there are further separate lanes made for these bikes.
