It is not my first time, that I am spending longer time in Germany. To me it´s a very nice place to live, people are nice, they like to keep the distance and it takes some time to become a part of their lives, but they are not fake. They are hard working, very disciplined, they like their rules and they would never argue about them. They have it all, most of them. They are driving expensive cars, going out, shopping, travelling. They have a strong economy, enough jobs for graduates, all kinds of internships and also strong state´s support for those who weren´t lucky to find a satisfying job. Most of the young people speak perfectly english, some of them spent some time abroad, mainly in Australia or Asia. But sometimes the way how they think is just incomprehensible. Its probably associated with their love in bureaucracy. Why would you make something more complicated than it really is? Thats just one of cultural differencies which everyone would face coming over here for longer time. But with all these resources, I was really wondering why are they not living it up. Everything has to go according to the plan. Spontaneous? Never heard of it. They would never sacrifice a bit of their comfort to enjoy the life a bit more. And that´s a little bit sad.

Why Germany? As I said I really like the country. It´s nice to live in a place, where everything is exactly how is it supposed to be. No surprises. They have nice shopping streets in almost every little town. They even have Primark, Hollister and Abercrombie. They have lovely cafes with tables on the streets, street markets on saturday morning, fancy clubs with strict dress codes and maybe boring but handsome, stylish guys. But the most important thing is that to me they offer quality educational system. I decided to leave one of the most beautiful cities in the world and start my master studies in Mainz, Germany.

Fashion. I am a bit dissapointed about the fashion culture here. Especially in Mainz, many times i felt too overdressed, probably because its a student city and most of the girls are just hanging out in t-shirt and jeans. In FFM is the culture better, you can see many stylish people on the streets and even more during the night in many cool places. Even though FFM is smaller than Prague and is not that beautiful, for young people considering all kinds of cultural events, job opportunities and shopping FFM has much more to offer. Definitely one of my potential places where i would go to start my first job.
