hey ADAers, my wife and I are tentatively considering moving to berlin, germany for about a year so I thought I'd tap the pool of knowledge... :-)
-i'm an interactive designer (websites, animation, games, etc, http://www.werkhaus.co.nz) and my wife is a freelance illustrator (http://www.kimberleemunnillustrator.co.nz). any thoughts on how easy or hard it is to find this type of work in the city? -how difficult is it to obtain work visas to germany? i've read some differing opinions on this. some say you need a firm job offer from a german company, etc. is this a lengthy process that i should start way before hand, or something easier done from berlin? -have read the cost of living in berlin is relatively cheap. is this true in your experience? how do food prices and rent compare to nz? -is it true that you can get by on english alone? or do you really need some german to work, get around, get by daily? thanks guys. any contact, advice, suggestions, or warnings much appreciated. cheers, luke _______________________________________________ Ada_list mailing list [email protected] http://aotearoadigitalarts.org.nz/
