Although the country of Germany does not starve to death, but also can not make a fortune, Germany's current standard of living is very good, higher than China, but in China's developed areas, the good is limited, considering the cultural barrier, Chinese in Germany is unlikely to be as happy as heaven.
What is said on the Internet is the truth, Germans are indeed idle, live and work in peace, famous open source software, Germans develop and maintain a lot, and a lot of DIY on YouTube, these are all portrayals of the idle life of Germans.
Germany really strictly abides by the labor law, 40 hours a week, you can work overtime but the total working hours per week cannot exceed 48 hours, and the overtime hours are not paid but converted into holidays, which must be taken off. For example, 8 hours of overtime can be converted into one day of vacation.
If some departments work more overtime, HR will also send an all-staff letter to warn the leaders and employees of those departments that they must strictly abide by the labor law, and list the specific laws and the consequences of violating the law. (At home, I really love this).
Germany's incomes are not high, at least compared to those of the United States, especially after taxes. Generally, the more you earn, the more taxes you pay, everyone guarantees a similar level, and the money of an engineer is about the same as that of a cashier, so there are really many people whose jobs and interests are the same or related.
In terms of work, Germany has the biggest advantage compared to China, and it is relatively idle and stable. However, in terms of manual service, network speed, IT development, and convenient mailing, it has lagged behind China for many years.
Most of the domestic trains are direct, no need to transfer, and occasionally there is a hope when it is late. Deutsche Bahn almost has to change trains when it goes far away, and IC and IC often have to transfer, which can be fatal as long as it takes one night. The only advantage of Deutsche Bahn is that the high-speed train is fully connected with the RE, S-bahn, and U-bahn, as long as it is too off-the-beaten-path.
Deutsche Bahn is often dozens of minutes late or even cancels the shift, often go out to travel, as long as the last train is late at night, you have to wait for an hour in the cold weather in the wilderness of the transfer station, Germany is small, and it is slow and expensive to take the train across provinces, and there are few comparisons with China in terms of social infrastructure, even those developed countries.
German clinics do not sell medicines, you have to buy them with a prescription at any pharmacy on the street, if you don't know German and don't know what kind of medicine is on the prescription, just give it to the pharmacy staff.
Germans pay special attention to cleaning, and most Germans have a habit of cleanliness. There are many types of detergents in the German house, and if you follow the requirements of the old German lady, you must spend half of the day cleaning.
The pace of life in Germany is slow, a slow-paced society is inefficient but has a high tolerance for error, and a fast-paced society is efficient but frightening. The middle class generally believes that society owes itself to workers, and that mass strikes, although affecting people's lives, can be widely supported by other citizens.
German pork is very difficult to make, because the smell is too big, a little bad is difficult to eat, the main reason is that the Germans kill pigs directly electrocution of pigs, and then quickly slaughter, and do not bleed, they think that it is a very inhumane thing to put a little pig blood when killing pigs.
German breakfast is high-calorie and heavy-flavored, get up early in the morning to eat egg sausages and butter bread, German pig's trotters are very delicious, two adults can't finish eating, the skin of the pork leg is very crispy, the meat melts in the mouth, but after eating too much, it feels fishy, there are a lot of delicious things, what ** chicken noodles, grilled naan, lamb skewers, mutton soup are available.
