Hi Reine,

Welcome to Cologne. My name is Aman, an expat in Cologne since more than one year now. It's a very beautiful, multicultural and pretty friendly city, lots of sports and activities to do. I hope, you would find a easy and spontaneous life here. However, In the beginning you might face some cultural shocks but over the time it will be fine.

If you want to know any specific information or anything about this city life, please don't hesitate to write me.


Wish you a safe and enjoyable move to Cologne!

With Regards,
-AMAN

Thanks Aman
It's nice to hear that's a nice city ...All I'm afraid of is moving from GCC to Europe and specifically to small city in Germany. I don't want to get bored.
It's easy for me to adopt but I still need to know more about the city before I come
Rent..transportation. ..halal food..taxes etc

Hi Reine,

Yes, I can realize your feeling about relocating from that environment to here.
However, that's life. Here in Cologne, you don't have to worry at least about transportation and halal food.
Are you coming to Cologne or any other small city? Cologne is not actually a small city.
You will find considerably big number of mosques and halal shops here. I also take only halal foods as well.
So, no worries about halal foods.

A friendly proposition, if you want you may add me on FB named- Aman Nur Mohammed.
I am pretty available there and hope to see you.

With Regards,
--AMAN
