Welcome to Europe. Time to make some new friends :)

That means you have nothing to lose. Enjoy Deutschland!

Fuck them. My grandfather got the same when he migrated to Argentina, but he left the haters and was able to build a whole new life.

Farewell and good luck with everything!

Lebe wohl und viel Glück. Out of curiosity, where in Germany? I ask because I was born in Spangdahlem.

I am moving to be with extended relatives in a village north of Kaiserslautern where my mom was born

Ah, that is a truly beautiful area. Close enough to Trier for a day trip but not so close that you have to deal with the tourists. By the way, if you've never been to Trier, I recommend it. Two thousand year old buildings really are something else.

From one expat to a soon-to-be-another, Good luck on your new adventure!

Thank you! I’m excited

Fun Fact: Emigrating is leaving a country. Immigrating is coming a new country. You are doing both!

Fuck ‘em! I’ll wish you well. I’m hella jealous, I hear good things about the quality of life in Germany. I hope you live long and prosper and that the stresses of moving don’t deter from all the fun little exciting moments you’re about to experience.

Farewell, friend. May the road rise up to meet you. May the wind be always at your back.

Oh, they'l probably be in touch whenever they're looking for a cheap place to stay in Europe.

Go start that new life. Enjoy healthcare and a living wage.
rainybyte
Yeah! For me and my spouse it will be a pay cut (We work in software) but it’s totally worth it for what I feel is a better life for our family.

Crab mentality is a way of thinking best described by the phrase "if I can't have it, neither can you".
The metaphor is derived from anecdotal claims about the behaviour of crabs when trapped in a bucket. While any one crab can easily start to climb out it will nonetheless be pulled back in by the others, ensuring the group's collective demise. The analogous theory in humans is that members of a group will attempt to reduce the self confidence of any member who achieves success beyond the others

Farewell to the old, Willkommen im Neuen!

Fuck them people! We Germans welcome you warmly and with open arms. By the way, we have a bit of a resting bitch face in our population, but don't take it personal. The whole 'welcome to Costco, I love you!' thing is really the norm in the public service sector

Germans warmly welcome people?! I thought it was a firm handshake and curt nod along with a beer!
Semiflaccid
Is that not a warm welcome? Better than most welcomes I've had.
SoulTakerWasSupposedToBeMyUsernameButSomebodyStoleIT
Is that not a warm and loving welcome? If we really like you, we might even smile a bit while we give a firm handshake. But you really have to make a great impression for that to happen
SoshiGenkaku
Is that only if we agree to go on a walk regardless of the weather?
