Especially with Germany, this also is a cultural phenomeon - even for Germans, it is surprisingly hard to get into a group you are not a member of (especially if you go into the less hip, super-urban areas of Berlin, Cologne, Hamburg or Munich). Getting into the pack is hard, but once you're in, you got friends for life.
I can only imagine how hard that is for a foreigner.
- periheli0n 6y agoI found it equally hard to "get in the pack" whether I moved town within Germany, or moved to France, or to the UK, or within the UK. No matter where, it was always easiest to find friends among people who themselves have moved around a lot. People who always lived in the same place will almost always have their wall up, especially if they have the feeling that too many foreigners invade their home town.
