Week 49: Nikolaus, Expat Life and Housing Situations

In today’s episode we are talking with Nikos. He is originally from
Greece and now lives in Amsterdam, where he co-founded the platform
“I am Expat.“ In our Interview section Nikos will tell us a little
bit more about his website and events and how the Netherlands
somehow cracked the welcome culture for expats. We’ll also dive
into a comparison between Amsterdam and Berlin, discussing not only
the job market and housing situation but also the social dynamics
of making friends in the cities. In our culture segment we will
explore the origins of Nikolaus Day and how families across the
country celebrate this occasion. Additionally we will round up this
week’s news highlights and ask our Germans why shops close so early
in Germany.
