The punctuality. The engineering. The order.

Nobody warns you about the other things.

The things you only discover after you've already moved there.

10 of them. Right here. 🧵🇩🇪 𝟭. Your neighbours will knock about your washing machine.

Germany figured something out
that the rest of the world
is still pretending it doesn't need to know.

11 things. One thread.

Some of these will make you uncomfortable.
All of them are true. 🇩🇪🧵 𝟭. They made university almost free.

Not as a charity.
As infrastructure.
