Has some other pretty good nuggets there; esp complaints about the cost of gas and gasp, shock horror the lack of big box stores and 2-day shipping.

    ''In-person shopping takes forever because there aren't big-box stores, and online purchases — excluding Amazon — take up to a week to arrive. Coming from the US and South Korea, where same-day or next-day delivery is more common, this has been an adjustment. And while food doesn't cost much more, certain products, such as electronics, cost considerably more than in the US. Taxes here are extremely high compared to Korea and the US.''

    lol

    ''I miss the comforts of being surrounded by people like me — English-speaking working professionals from diverse backgrounds— and the foods from those mixed communities.''

    I like diversity, as long they speak english. you moved to the countryside and complain it's not cosmopolitan enough

      Hilarious because German city food is pretty culturally diverse (I will admit asian food cultures are under-represented and the average Chinese restaurant is dire compared to Australia)
