Germany

Germany — Field Notes from a Network Engineer

#

Moving to Germany is a decision. But what comes after that decision never really ends.

Finding a flat, renewing a driving licence, going through labour court, dealing with Jobcenter, enrolling a child in Kita, selling a car, buying another one… And somewhere in the middle of all that, taking two kids in a double stroller on day trips to Bavarian medieval towns via Deutschlandticket.

This section is built from those experiences — written the way someone who actually went through it would write, not the way an official document would read.

The Romantic Road

A section of its own — because five towns, one route, and a lot to say.

Augsburg, Memmingen, Lindau, Füssen, Neuschwanstein — all by train, no car.
