Guessed they were an expatriate from the US. Was completely right.

A lot of it is just weird cultural complaints. Who'd have thought small towns in Germany don't have big box stores, or that electronics are way more expensive. That's really easy to have figured out first.

Germany is pretty much top of the countries i'd consider moving to. Though as a Scot living in the US it's no longer super easy for me to move to Berlin.

I agree, most of it I would have simply expected because of having my eyes open about other countries (e.g. petrol prices). About her only complaint that I could empathize with was racism, not that Iʼve personally experienced it there (or from any German anywhere), but some Germans have told me their anecdotes.

Nah, I've met Brits, French people, and Koreans who are exactly like this.

The Germans once felt entitled to own the planet Earth, but were stopped by the British and Americans.

Did you just Godwin yourself?

I feel like a trespasser here, like I'm straddling two worlds. The first is the US-military community, which my husband belongs to, but I don't. The second is the German-resident community, which I'm reminded on a daily basis I also don't belong to.

First-world problems.
