I've been in the close in city of Stuttgart for over two weeks now, which totally qualifies me to pass judgment. So here's a top and bottom five list!
Best things about living in Stuttgart
#1 Saori is here
#2 beer, bread, sausage, vegetables, and gummi bears are all amazing here
#3 the items in #2 are incredibly cheap
#4 the city is very easy to get around- walkable, dense, and well connected with mass transit.
#5 there's a vibrant sidewalk culture and pedestrian oriented shops, bars, and restaurants.
Worst things about living in Stuttgart
#1 Distance from friends and family.
#2 It's expensive to rent and to eat out. Really high rents in desirable areas, plus you have to pay brokerage fees of 2 months rent.
#3 All the stores are closed Sunday. Which means every Saturday is a frantic mess in the stores and out shopping. Königstr. becomes Harajukustraße.
#4 The language barrier gets old quickly. Really quickly.
#5 there's paperwork for everything. To get a monthly bus pass you have to first get a general bus pass form which you need a passport and a passport photo, and once you have THAT then you can load it up with the month pass. Which is not cheap.
