- 🥖 The Irreplaceable German Bread
- 🚴♀️ Freedom to Bike Everywhere
- 🇩🇪 The Joy of Speaking German
- 🌍 Being My Authentic Self
- ☀️ The Joy of German Summers

🏰 Cobblestone Streets and Historic Charm
One of the first things I’ll miss about Germany is the picturesque cobblestone streets. Walking through cities like Düsseldorf, I am surrounded by historical architecture that tells a story of the past. These charming streets are more than just a means to get from one place to another; they are a reminder of the rich history that Germany embodies and i will definately miss about Germany.
- Historic buildings around every corner
- Beautifully maintained public spaces
- Unique character of each city
- Easy access to cultural sites
In Canada, the urban landscape is vastly different, with wide roads designed for cars rather than pedestrians. The experience of strolling through cobblestone streets will be a cherished memory as I transition back to life in Canada.
🥖 The Irreplaceable German Bread
Secondly I’ll miss about Germany’s food, specifically bread. The bread in Germany is simply unparalleled. With its crispy crust and soft inside, German bread is a staple that I will deeply miss. In contrast, Canadian bread lacks the same quality and variety. Here’s what I love about German bread:
- Freshly baked every morning
- Diverse types available
- Local bakeries within reach
- Perfect for breakfast or snacks
I’ll miss the simple pleasure of walking to the bakery early in the morning to pick up fresh bread, a routine that has become an integral part of my life in Germany.
🚴♀️ Freedom to Bike Everywhere
Another aspect of life that I will miss about Germany is there freedom to hop on my bike and go anywhere. Biking is not just a mode of transportation; it’s a lifestyle. In Germany, everything is accessible by bike, from grocery stores to schools. Here’s why biking is so special:
- Convenient for short distances
- Environmentally friendly
- Great exercise
- Community-friendly
In Canada, distances are often too far for biking to be a viable option, which means I’ll miss the convenience and enjoyment of cycling around town.
🇩🇪 The Joy of Speaking German
Surprisingly, I will miss about Germany is the language “German”. After many years in Germany, I have grown comfortable with the language. Communicating in German has allowed me to connect with locals and make genuine friendships. Here’s what I appreciate about this journey and I’ll miss about Germany:
- Building confidence in language skills
- Making jokes and sharing laughs
- Feeling included in the culture
- Understanding nuances of the language
Leaving this behind is emotional for me. I’ve finally reached a level of fluency that allows me to express myself authentically. It’s a bittersweet farewell as I transition back to English.
🌍 Being My Authentic Self
Living in Germany has allowed me to embrace my true self without the need for pretense. I’ve found freedom in expressing my emotions openly, which is often stifled in other cultures. Here’s how life in Germany has shaped my authenticity:
- No pressure to conform
- Acceptance of different personalities
- Genuine interactions with others
- Freedom to express feelings
In Canada, I often felt the need to put on a facade, but in Germany, I could simply be me, quirks and all.
☀️ The Joy of German Summers
At last I’ll miss about Germany summers that are very delightful experience, marked by a cultural shift where people become more social and open. The atmosphere transforms, and here’s what makes summer in Germany special:
- Outdoor festivals and events
- Shared beer gardens and communal tables
- Vibrant street life
- Friendly interactions with strangers
During summer, the German culture shines brightly, revealing a side of the people that is warm and inviting. It’s a stark contrast to the often reserved nature of winter.
🚌 Efficient Public Transport
Germany boasts an impressive public transportation system that I will miss dearly. The convenience of hopping on a bus or train to reach my destination is unparalleled. Here’s why I love it:
- Reliable and punctual services
- Affordable fares
- Connections to neighboring cities
- Less need for personal vehicles
In Canada, public transport can be limited, requiring long drives and parking challenges. The ease of navigating cities in Germany will be sorely missed.
💼 Embracing the Future
As I prepare for my move, I am excited about new experiences awaiting me in Canada, yet I carry with me the memories of these cherished aspects of life in Germany. From the cobblestone streets to the friendly neighborhoods, the culture here has left a lasting impression.
