Description
CultureShock! Berlin will bring you on an exciting discovery and pave the way for a smooth and enjoyable stay in this ever-changing city. Full of practical information and interesting insights, the book is a valuable road map for expatriates and long-term visitors on how Berliners tick, and how to get on and along in the city, down to how to separate rubbish for recycling, which, in Germany, is something for which you need an instruction manual. Understand the mechanisms of a city that has played such a compelling role on the world’s political and historical stage. Appreciate the discipline and punctuality of the Berliners and learn how to get behind their serious exterior and the famous Berliner Schnauze. With its lovely parks, marvellous museums and rich artistic and cultural roots, Berlin will also surprise you with its unique beauty and charm. CultureShock! Berlin is your essential guide to making this city your own
Agnes Sachsenroeder has lived in Cairo, Berlin, Bucharest and Sofia for over a decade. While in these cities, she also travelled extensively to other countries in the neighbourhood. Apart from grappling with the ‘culture shock’ that came from being dunked in cultures as diverse as Middle Eastern, European and Balkan, she also experienced first-hand the ‘trailing spouse shock’, as she morphed from being a lawyer to just The Wife of her husband whose job postings took them to different countries. Sachsenroeder worked as a coordinator for a newcomers´ orientation programme in Cairo, helping newcomers adjust to life in Egypt. She is also the author of CultureShock! Bulgaria. During her stint as Trailing Spouse, apart from cross-cultural work, she also taught English to German executives in a leading bank and other organisations and worked on projects for non-governmental organisations.
