Stephanie Vollmer moved to Germany from South Korea about 18 months ago. I was teaching English in South Korea when I met my now-husband in 2021. In the US and South Korea, I was used to people being friendly toward visitors trying to learn the language. Coming from the US and South Korea, where same-day or next-day delivery is more common, this has been an adjustment. When I lived in South Korea, I was much closer to my dad and my stepmom, who lived in the Philippines.
