Travel by Air

It's surprisingly cheap to travel around Europe than what I expected. Flights can be possibly booked for less than 100 Euro round trip to anywhere within Europe. Sometimes it is not necessarily to travel by train for long hours.

Applying for Residential Permit

When you first arrived in Germany, you should apply for your residential permit immediately. Yes, you are allowed to stay in Germany for up to 3 months without visa as a US citizen. But if you'd like to stay longer after your residential permit expires, you will have your remaining days from the 90 days limit. So, if you waited 60 days to apply for your permit, this will give you 30 days allowance after your permit expires. 

Basic German I

"Kein Deutsch." means "No German". It also means "I don't speak German & I do not understand you."
