Potential Problems you might face 

Don't smile in public. 

 

Emaraties in particulars are used to smiling if they have an eye contact with anyone, especially when they’re need for a help. When you travel to Germany, you’ll be surrounded by an unfamiliar landscape, language, and people. The urge to grin maniacally at strangers to smooth over your frequent social faux pas may become overwhelming. Don’t be alarmed if you get the German stare back, however. In Germany, smiling for no reason is considered a sign of mental weakness.

 

You’ll have to travel alot to get to another Citites.

 

Germany is located smack in the middle of Europe. Even the smaller cities in Germany have busy train stations, and there are several RyanAir and EasyJet hubs that can get you all over the continent for cheap. You’ll wind up spending a weekend in Morocco like it’s nothing.

 

Smoking is allowed anywhere.

 

In Germany — people light up a cicagrette at work, restaurants, everywhere. Your clothes will reek of smoke every time you come home from a bar or restaurant, and you’ll become totally immune to it…until your mom comes to visit you and is horrified by how terribly you stink after what you claimed was a “low-key night out.”

 

Lack of Communcation.

 

In Germany — Not everyone speaks English

 

Appliances.

 

German apartments are streamlined, efficient, and meticulously clean. They also typically lack some American staples that Emaraties are used to use, like dryers, dishwashers, garbage disposals, and window screens. Many apartments also have a large bathtub and handheld showerhead in place of a typical shower. The first time you use it, you’ll inevitably flood your bathroom, but you’ll gradually get the knack of it.
