Good lick finding a place to live. Took me months just to find an apartment south near my office by Shoenefeld. I’ve never had problems in Berlin. The problem with Berlin is it’s full of New Yorkers.....
I didn't have that problem living in Traben-Trarbach for four years. If I could afford it, I'd retire and spend every summer there.
If I weren't married, I'd split time up in Lutjenburg, a wonderful town near Kiel. It comes alive during the summer, with the largest concentration of newly divorced women I've ever encountered. lol
You get away from the big cities, and Germans are as friendly as they can be.
