The best part about Germans is that they are amazing with metals. Most of the big chemists were from Germany. From the time of industrial era, automobile industry has flourished in Germany and has been nurtured. They have really good facilities and they support lots of research work.
Whichever industry you pick up other than computer its doing great in Germany. SAP is an exception though.
I am staying in Germany from last 6 months and through my knowledge and experience I would say the following things. Germans believe in doing each and every thing perfect and with proper method, even if its the most nonsense thing they will do it perfectly. They don't compromise on quality. They are honest and loyal.
Due to these facts its an amazing place to study and work.
