    Hey guys

    Im going to portugal to work for the summer (same as last year). Best laugh, 3-4 months partying! woop.

    Was wondering where to go after? I have more or less decided that im not coming back to ireland for a year or so.

    I was thinking germany would be interesting

    I did some reading and some good options seem to be Berlin, Hamburg, Heidleberg and munich.

    I be looking for bar work and sumwhere with real nightlife.

    Any info would be helpfull thanks :)


    An1 know a site simillar to graigslist that i could use for germany,thanks

    Hi, I'm German and would just like to give you an advice on location. Consider different unemployment levels in the mentioned places. From that perspective, Berlin would be much harder to find a job. On the other hand living is cheaper in Berlin than in the other places.

    Berlin is risky if you are totally dependent on finding a job quickly. It is not impossible to find work but not easy, even in irish bars etc. If you're an attractive girl it might be easier though ;)

    Berlin is indeed very cheap to live in though. Rent is very cheap and you don't have to live right in the centre if you use the public transport which pretty much runs all night.
