Personal comments
It wasn't difficult to communicate with the locals. Most people were very patient and friendly. I often had to explain myself 2-3 times, but people didn't mind the waiting. It was a great learning environment.

Personal spending habits
I don't travel very much in Canada; however in Germany, I travelled every weekend. This ended costing me more than I thought it would. It was all worth it!
Fruits and vegetables were most expensive than at home, but, then again, they tasted better and were always fresh! :)

Course recommendations
The business professors are very nice and friendly. Most of them are ready to explain things in English or French if needed. Some departments have guest professors from different parts of the world.

Overall
I wish I had known...
I went there somewhat blindly...and alone as well. This was the best way to learn new things and get acquainted with new people.

Personal recommendation
If you have the chance, go to Augsburg. It is well situated in Bavaria. You have access to the Alps, Austria, Suisse and many other Central European countries...the roads are open for you to explore!

Buy yourself a good tourbook before you leave and a few rolls of film + camera. Make the most of it! Eat at the local bakeries and experience German clubs (the music is much better than in North America!!).
