Talk about a herzlich Willkommen. I recently found out that Germany is going to give me 100 euros just for coming to live there.
It's called Begrüßungsgeld (beh-GROOCE-oonks-gelt) and Wikipedia, the omniscient narrator, says it used to be offered to East Germans as a way to entice them into the West.
Now I guess they use it to entice foreign students. All I have to do is fill out a ream of paperwork, anmelden (register) with the local authorities, and collect my money. Vielen Dank, Deutschland, and ashzlan!
