Actually, I try blogging about my experience moving here. You can read a first draft here: http://goo.gl/EIX4UX.

Things are way cheaper than I thought, considering the salaries. As a Python entry-level developer who has to be pampered I make around 5000 Euro net-salary at a no-name SMB. I could make 10%-15% more at a bank doing Java.

The bottom-line is that I can save 4000,- Euro each month, because I spend only 1000 Euro on accommodation and food. In only one year, I will be able to buy a two-room apartment in a German town (where I like to hangout on weekends), without taking a mortgage...

That was an interesting read, thanks! Sounds like the country is amazing and giving.

I'll have dreams about it tonight ;)
