I can see this forum is going to be no help

I see a lot of post on here that have had alot of views and no responses to. This forum is not going to be much help I can see. If you people whom are reading these topics would be so kind as to answer peoples post when you have experiences the rest of us would greatly appreciate it, if not then this site is going to be worthless. These forums are a good idea but are totaly worthless without your advice. Thanks for your time.

Re: I can see this forum is going to be no help

Hi there and merry welcome.

Did it occur to you that people might view the topic, read the question and have NO answer to it?

Just an idea wink

This forum has helped me quite a few times and I would like to say that many people got some help from here as well.

But that's only my humble opinion for a few countries in this forum I have my eyes on.

Cheers
Nicole

Re: I can see this forum is going to be no help

That did occur to me but there are post all over this forum that have had hundreds of views and not 1 answer. I find it hard to believe that no one has any answers to them, just my thoughts. most people whose post I have read are not asking questions that would be that hard to answer. Maybee I am expecting to much, but if my previous post cannot be answered then I need to find another source and not spend my time here. I do not mean to be a trouble maker but there are many unanswered post all over the German forum.

Re: I can see this forum is going to be no help

Mh. I'll have a look.
That's one place I don't look at quite often, since I don't live there any more and don't know much about the current laws for employment and such.

Re: I can see this forum is going to be no help

Thank you for responding. I do not feel anywhere near fluent in German at this time. I have met a native speaker here near to me. I am going to get him to tutor me.I hope to travel around Germany after I move there. I am of Germanic descent and have always wanted to visit Germany to see my ancestorial home.

Re: I can see this forum is going to be no help

Hello @seprowling52271,
I would happy to assist you...I'm British and have been living + working in Germany for 30 odd years. I was not part of the British military presence here - so I cannot answer any question relating to that.

all the best

Re: I can see this forum is going to be no help

Hey, I too live in Raleigh and am moving to Germany next year. I couldn't find your other post so I can't offer any advice on specifics about moving to Germany.

I did read one thing that I found kind of strange though. It seems that you are interested in moving to Germany of your own accord. I think it is a great idea. However, from the sounds of it, you have never visited. How do you know that you would like living there?

In your profile, it seems as though your political frustrations are at least partially motivating your desire to move. I lived in Germany for six months, not long I know, but I can tell you with 100% certainty that politician are politicians. They are no different in Germany or anywhere else.

I would suggest going over to Germany and staying for an extended vacation. Let the people, the society, the history, etc. be deciding factors, not your misgivings about US politics.

Ouh, if it's politics than scratch it.
Germany became a copy cat of the US long time ago.
And our system is getting worse by the year.

Re: I can see this forum is going to be no help

people love to read than write. one can hope to get a response to his blog but cannot expect it. it all depends on how the reader finds your blog interesting, or if he is on the mood to key in some strokes in his pc.

i've learned some thing on this forum already so i don't find it totally useless. chill out. :-) post it again on another subject maybe. it's like selling something. make it attractive so you get views. then maybe they will answer. it just worked now.

Re: I can see this forum is going to be no help

I have decided that after much research I will not be able to move to Germany due to the cost of living being much higher than the USA. I have decided to just take an extended vacation to Germany and stay a couple of months and travel around and do the tourist things. Thanks for your help.
