"Americans are often fake in friendships. We'll 'friend' anyone and not take it seriously. Germans take longer to establish friendships but they are solid friends. Germans work to live, where Americas live to work. We put job as a high priority, Germans put the holiday as a high priority. You can laugh about the 30 days of vacation, but they have similiar productivity output as the USA," remarked another expat who made the move to Heidelberg, Germany.

"Expats in Heidelberg appreciate the city's rich cultural heritage, which includes a variety of museums, galleries, and historic sites. They also enjoy the city's vibrant nightlife, with its many bars, clubs, and restaurants.
