Advice on living in Munich (pretty please)

Hi ppl!

I'm South African and I've been spending alot of time reading through many topics for info of which I've really enjoyed.

My fiance will in Munich for a year, he'll be leaving in a few months time so I'm looking for as much info as I can so that I can make up my mind of whether I should go with him , so far I have read good things ...

Is there any other advice you can give me??? Getting a job (I really can't sit at home for a year), being a lacto-vegetarian, shopping, public transport etc ...

Anything is welcome ... really, the good and the bad ...

Excited and scared!! (or am I just freaking out for no reason?)

Lelu ...

Hi there,

South African myself and love it here. If you want specific info, send some questions my way via a PM.

drink Augustiner, avoid Loewenbrau...

Germany, and the natives' love of meat, has cured many a wacko-vegetarian so you should go home healthy after a year here...

Seriously, it's great. Munich is an excellent place to be, and it's only a year after all.

As for a job, what did you have in mind?

As others have said, Munich is a nice place to live.

Unless you have superpowers*, or a very big and ferocious fiancé, you can forget shopping or eating or working: Munich is swarming with energy vampires that will quite simply suck all the life out of you.

Meantime, if you still have a deathwish, answers to more specific questions might be garnered by using the Search function - there are over 80,000 posts in 'Life (in-joke) in Munich' alone.

*Like many of the expats here, I have managed to survive as a hologram.

Thank you all for the kind words,advice and encouraging comments!!!
