Note: Posts will be short and sweet.
Arrived in Hamburg 3 weeks ago.
- transportation within the city: takes a week to get used to.
- financially: similar to Amman. Rent is more expensive.
- weather: expect "all four seasons" in one day. Sept. 2011 has been avg. 15 degC.
- people: very nice and helpful. Try to speak german with them and they will appreciate your efforts even if its khabayis. Hamburgers mostly speak german (unlike Berlin where lots of people speak english)
- food: you can find anything you want, just have to know where to look. (I will be posting my favorites as I find them!)
- things to do: lots of things to do...you just have to look for them. Don't wait for them to come to you. In general, people stay in during the week or do something chill and go all out on the weekends.
Advice: ASK! ASK! ASK! Do not be afraid to ask about anything you doubt. If you don't understand something, keep at it until you do.
