  • You invited visitors to Germany to comment, so I will. I've been to Germany maybe 20 times and have many close friends who live there. I almost always go for work, but I usually take personal days off when there. I've been to every region of Germany and have yet to find a place I didn't like. I don't know much German, but find most of them know English and are quite accommodating to visitors and people who speak German poorly. This part may not apply to you, but I also find Germans think and act more along the lines of Americans than most other countries. So, I feel like I fit in. My advice to you is to keep asking this question, gather lots of info and decide only after you understand your options well.

    • It's impossible to have many close friends. Especially from other countries. That's no longer close friendship

      • Close as in we confide in each other, go out for fun when we're together and stay in very regular contact. Not close as in distance. When you do business internationally for a few decades, you find that your closest friends are not always the ones that live closest to you.

        • I wasn't talking about distance. I was talking about the strength of the bond. You can't have many close friends. That's impossible. Genuine friendship is very hard to achieve and people who say they have many friends are not accurate in expressing this fact.

          • Speak for yourself. Some people have a large circle of friends, others not.

            • You can't have a large circle of friends. That's a foolish belief and a misunderstanding of the nature of friendship and its separation from other types of connections.

              • Well, I guess me having a large circle of friends (and many live far away, oh my) shoots down your theory before it even left the ground.
