English speaking "Stammtisch" by inale1982
Hello everyone, eventhough I am a young German woman (30) living in Germany (Cologne), I know what it feels like living abroad since I have lived in California for a couple of years. I miss those days and would be very happy to have the opportunity ...

I have just moved to Cologne from Vancouver, and am feeling a little lost. I do not know anyone and am looking for people who like to have fun and try new things. I want to see the sights, go to clubs, and travel throughout Europe on little weekend ...

EverBank experience? by chrevbel
Am considering EverBank as the means for having my USD pension deposited, as they affordably allow dollar-Euro transactions, and offer transfers to foreign banks. Does anyone in here have actual experience with EverBank? Particularly, with a ...
I wish I could help you but unfortunately, I'm looking for a bank that I can use here in Germany that will easily (and cheaply?) let me transfer funds monthly to an account in the U.S. I'd be interested to hear if anyone else has any experience ... Read More
Moving to Cologne by mrenjifo
Hi! I will be moving to Cologne on a company assignment starting in 2011. As I will be house hunting quite soon, I'd like some advice on the best areas to live. I am single so probably the suburbs are out of the question, but I'd rather not be ...
Hi, Maria! I can't give you any information on the area you mentioned as I only moved to Cologne the end of July. I can tell you that I live in Neuehrenfeld and find it's quiet enough to live comfortably but is still very close to anything I want ... Read More

Hi, the VHS class that I am taking is at Neumarkt but I know that they have classes elsewhere because they gave me a few options. I'm sorry, though, that I can't remember what they were. They also have options for mornings/evenings and intensive ... Read More
