I was planning on Germany, and I’ve recently met a German friend online which has solidified my choice

@Hikiru @Squizzy I live in Spain and I'm planning to move to Denmark or Norway in a few years. Heat is impossible to manage here, and the political system is almost beyond salvation.

Where in Germany are you planning to go?

[-] Hikiru@lemmy.world 1 points 1 year ago

I’m considering Hamburg, it’s where my friend lives and I’ve heard it’s a nice city

Oh nice, than you'll be right in my neighbourhood. Hamburg is really nice and the northern Germans are the best ones (no bias of course :D).
