In the Know in Germany: The Indispensable Guide to Working and Living in Germany

The book does a great job explaining clearly and succintly the culture of Germany, identifying the do's and taboos in daily life and in business, and it also gives great advices. The book explains in details the procedures for almost anything that you would need in Germany providing up-to-date examples and names: tranportation options and regulations, financial services (it even tells you how and where to pay your bills), how to find a place to live in, what to expect in the business environment, and even the procedures and documents needed to bring your pet into Germany. What I particularly liked about the book is that it gives advices based on different groups. If you are single, married, having troubling teenagers, or you are gay - the book tells you what to expect based on your situation and how to make the most out of your trip. At the end of the book you will also find a section with useful phrases in German and a CD which could help you brush up your German pronunciation. The book is great and I would higly recommend it to anyone planning to visit or live in Germany!
