Advice for visitors and migrants to Germany

“The only good thing to do with good advice is pass it on; it is never of any use to oneself.”  Oscar Wilde For my sins, I have been known to stop by Internet forums from time to time to offer my "two penneth" on various subjects. While there is, of course, no obligation to follow my advice, I'd like to think (without wishing to appear arrogant) that I'm pretty knowledgeable. Where the topic of travel is concerned, I am fortunate enough to have been to a number of countries around the world, and have met people from all walks of life.  Germany is probably the place that I am best qualified to comment on. I first visited it almost 20 years ago, and, like Geoff Hurst, have had a kind of "love affair" with "Deutschland" ever since. I went on to study German as part of my degree and have lived/worked there for the best part of a decade. Thus, my responses to Germany-related queries have been selected as the best answers on occasions.
