Reddit mentions of Those Crazy Germans! A Lighthearted Guide to Germany

First of all, I'd recommend to be prepared for the culture shock. That is so much more important than actually learning facts, those come along naturally eventually. I work as a hosting coordinator for a big non-profit exchange organization and a lot of our exchange students end up having troubles because they assumed they were prepared - when really, they weren't. I'd recommend reading something like "The Exchange Student's Survival Kit" by Bettina Hansel, which is not focused on Germany per se, but rather all the troubles dealing with entering a different culture. Secondly, literature about German culture would be helpful (maybe something like this) to prepare for traditions and some of the weird habits we have (such as mixing our fruit juices with sparkling water ;)).

Edit: No nazi jokes. Old people get offended. Young people have heard them all and will get annoyed. No one finds them funny.

Estou morando na Alemanha também, no caso em Munique.

Não é minha primeira vez morando fora do país, já morei um ano em Melbourne onde me adaptei muito bem e antes e havia estudado alemão até o A2. Mas o choque cultural aqui na Alemanha vem sendo muitíssimo maior do que eu esperava.

Antes de vir recomendo a leitura para entender melhor o povo alemão:

These two could be good, depending on which you think is more her type. :)
