If you looking for Germany: I enjoy Leipzig. It is a more friendly, more leftist place than Berlin - full of subculture and artists. It's less expensive than Berlin but also one of the poorest cities in Germany. However I'm almost a native living there and while I doubt you'll have any problems (met a few quite happy people from the US there - mostly artists) outside of certain scenes in certain parts of the city it's probably not as exciting.
- S4M 13y agoIs there a good hacker community there?
- nisa 13y agoThere is a hackerspace (http://sublab.org/ http://sublab.org/) and some related communities, even an somewhat? community organised ISP and some wireless communities (freifunk.net) - I'm sure they are also some web-related start-ups but I'm not living there anymore
- sn0v 13y agoWould you have to be fluent in German to get a work visa?
- playing_colours 13y agoNo, you don't need German at all to get a work visa. There's BlueCard visa, which basically requires a working contract with the salary above minimal threshold ( EUR 47,600, for software developers - EUR 37,128 ) and a more or less relevant degree. You can find a startup job without German - a lot of them are in Berlin [0]). If you decide to stay in the country longer you would like to learn German - for everyday use and to get permanent residence and even citizenship earlier.
