I'm an American who's lived in Germany for 14 years. I'm mostly satisfied, but life here hasn't been perfect.
Briefly

"The road to finding my own joy in this country has been a bit bumpy... Germany was voted one of the countries expats hate to live in the most."
"When asked where I'm from, saying I'm 'American' doesn't suffice... This 'dance' of questions has been a topic of national discourse."
"Though I was born and raised in the United States, my mother is Filipina... After years of enduring this, I now just say that I'm Asian American."
"Speaking German can be difficult even after living here all these years... It's frustrating that a sentence can go on and on until the verb comes at the end."
