Not from Europe or East Asia, but lived in Hong Kong for 4 years and now in Germany for the past 2 years. Yes, safety level and public transport is better but that’s about it. There is such a huge cultural difference and language barrier that you need to get used to if you’ve otherwise been used to western culture. You can meet other expats, but those circles are limited and you stand out in a highly ethnic Chinese population and it’s not easy to integrate and feel at home, especially if you’re non-White. You can manage with English but many locals aren’t great at speaking it and mostly socialize in Cantonese. Whereas in Germany, there are far greater range of ethnicities who are better integrated and speak German fluently, so if you just put effort into the language, then integrating is far easier.

Since you know for sure you want to leave, you can simply relax and just focus your exams with a decent grade. And find ways to have fun by yourself

This exactly! OP should mention what type of town/ city she has been living in. Germany is fairly diverse. I used to live in a mid-sized city and hated it. Then I moved to a big city and started to have a much better experience- met people from different countries, friendlier Germans who were more than happy to socialize in English as well as at the same time, improved my German substantially by simply hanging out with German speakers in social gatherings and nightouts by learning the colloquial phrases. Life in Berlin vs South of Germany are like two diffeent worlds.

Yes, exactly, doesn’t get any better, land of English and HIGHLY international. If this guy were in proper Western EU like France and Germany, then he’d get to know what struggle is.
