First complaint: Almost nothing is open on Sundays except for restaurants and Internet cafes. So if you need to buy groceries or get an extension cable on that day of the week, you’re mostly likely out of luck and will have to wait until Monday.
Second complaint: The nine-hour time difference between Germany and the U.S. West Coast is painful. For example, last week I had to wait until 7pm local time for the Apple press conference to start at 10am PDT. There are also only a couple windows of hours a piece where both me and my family back in California will be awake if we decide to talk on the phone. It’s just a hassle that I will be glad to be rid of when I return to America.
