Thanks to InterNations, I joined an after-work soccer team of other expatriates even before moving to Hamburg.

I get bothered with the cash only policy in many places. The locals are welcoming and respectful, but it is more difficult to become good friends with them.

It is difficult to meet locals, especially in Hamburg, but in the end I can live without it. I find them quite boring sometimes and we don't have the same sense of humour.
