New to TT and I'm moving to Cologne

Hey everyone,

Just registered with Toytown - think it's going to be really useful. I have just been offered an Internship in Cologne for 4-6 months starting in January and I have never been to Germany in my life! Will be posting lots on accommodation questions and general life in Germany.

Bye for now!

Omar.

Welcome to Toytown, Omar. Make sure to make full use of the various search and advanced search facilities which are available. They'll help you to gain a lot of specific and general knowledge about moving to and living in Germany.

Have fun.

Hi Omar -
You never said where you're from but I gather from your name that Germany is going to be overwhelmingly different from "home". So when you're not socializing or working take some time off to see the city and the surroundings. Have a great time!

he's from Britain.

I guess its quite different in a number of ways from good old GB, but not totally alien

have a good time Omar

Thanks for the warm welcome people! that was fast to! Oh yes I forgot to say where i'm from! Born in London and lived around London/Buckinghamshire all my life. I love to travel and see new sites, can't wait to start!

Willkommen.

Make sure you try out the local beer style (Kölsch) when you get there. Lucky bastard.
