People who have been there or live there, how is it? My grandpa says it’s bad due to immigration because he’s MAGA, but I wanna know what it’s really like from a non-MAGA perspective. Is immigration really a problem or does it just make the country better and more diverse?

What do you like to do in Germany? What do you have in your town? Etc.

I plan to go to Germany for a few weeks in either Berlin or Munich :)

    I’m an American with some outdated experience from about 25 years ago.

    I loved Germany and would love to return. I’ve even thought about migrating there, though I know this would not be simple.

    I was there for about 3 weeks. My last name is very Italian, but apparently the family i was starting with hoped it was Spanish and expressed this with shock when I corrected them.

    During my time there I witnessed quite a bit of racism directed at Italians and Turks. As it was explained to me, post WWII Germany encouraged migrants from Italy and Turkey to rebuild the workforce. What I witnessed was that Italians and Turks were looked down on and often held to lower jobs.

    It’s been 25 years. I hope things have changed.
