I would live in Germany over Greece any day of the week. I think you are looking through the lens of a Greek and grossly stereotyping. One restaurant is not the same as the other. So it can't be stereotyped. What can be stereotyped is culture. Greek culture is known for tax evation so probably those Greek restaurants are not even paying tax and paying their dues for being part of a civilization. It all starts with integrity.
Actually tax evasion is a motivation for Greeks.This is sth Western Europeans do not understand.For example a Greek would prefer to make 100000 euro and evade 80000 than make 160000 euro and pay 60000 euro as tax to the state.The pleasure that you deceived the authorities and operate in freedom gives a considerable motivation to the average Greek.If you put taxes on him he will stop working.This is sth the Westerners fail to understand.
Why Germany is underrated on here + picking a good city
Other characteristics of Germans:
1.Slow.They generally act slow.I am twice as fast as them.Despite the language slowing a lot down I still manage to do double work than them in the same time.This is sth the Greek workers in the 60's in Germany also had noticed that Germans work slow and the Greeks back then tried to speed up production.However they had problems by the reaction of the syndicates and their colleagues back then.
I would say that Germans think fast and act slow while Greeks think slow and act fast.
2.Rational.Germans have classical reason.
3.Critical thinking.They see situations individualistic from a critical point of view.
4.Cold.They are not emotional like us.They do not take things personally.The coldness is sometimes big advantage.
5.Try to pass their work to others if you are not careful.
6.Strict but not to everyone.They make distinctions taking many things into account.
From physical point of view:
1.Many limb with back pains etc.It has to do with hard work while being overweight.Especially by women.
2.Many cannot breathe well due to overweight and the climate in Germany.
3.They generally cannot stand the physical pain.It is strange that the descendants of Wehrmacht soldiers have so little tolerance to pain which makes me suspect that Wehrmacht soldiers took tones of analgesics apart from other medications.
Social:
1.Polite
2.Hypocritical.
3.Sadists.They like when the others suffer.It is similar to Greek paranoia but what Greeks exhibit as paranoia Germans exhibit as sadism.
4.Hierarchical.They respect titles and social position.
5.Daring.They express their opinion bold without fioritures.

Other habits:
1.Eating at work.For Greeks this is totally abnormal as work place is supposed to be unpleasant and eating is supposed to be a great pleasure.Greeks prefer to constantly drink coffee principiell cold strong coffee to keep the nerves in tension.
2.Pauses.Germans make a lot of pauses.For us it is very unusual since the issue is to finish as fast as possible.
You have to talk during these pauses and you are judged according to what you say.
3.Report.They always report mistakes even if you have covered their ass before.This is contrary to Greece where you make the shrewd eyes as we say you notice but never report.If you report you are called a nail and you maybe get beaten in Greece.Generally Balkans prefer to solve their issues between themselves and not appealing to authorities.
4.Gossiping.They gossip a lot especially the women.In Greece they usually gossip about relationships,boyfriends etc but in Germany they gossip about the workplace.
5.Seriousness.They are always serious.They take eveything at face value.Humor is supposed to be about life situations.Greeks are most of the time loose and not serious at all.
6.Concentrated.Germans are usually concentrated on their task.They give to it 100% of their mental power.Greeks are rarely fully concentrated.The work absorbs maximum 50% of their mental power so we may appear as dissociated sometimes.
7.Full of attention.Germans pay full attention when sb is speaking.Greeks listen to 50% of what he says because thee always have other things in mind.I am better understood by Germans than by Greeks in certain cases.
8.Direct.They talk direct meaning what they say.The Greeks talk indirect many times meaning the opposite of what they say.

Anyway I see now so many hot women on the streets scantily dressed I may do a photoshoot but only for the enemies of masturbation.
Kamaki, you are just talking shit.

You mean about the scantily dressed women?I am very tempted to do a photoshoot although it can have legal consequences here.
For young guys I strongly suggest Frankfurt,Berlin and the university towns.Hamburg and Munich are also very good if you have cash.If you are older than 35 forget Germany.Your only chances are the slavic women here.
Most of the philosophical talk about Germany on here is just utter nonsense to me. Not only by Greek Kamaki, btw...
One thing is clear to me, though...if German women were that great, we wouldn't be discussing about German philosophers, taxes, work place etc...there is a lot of frustration on this thread and I know the reason.

Still Germany is an awesome place if you are under 30 and of good appearance.Of course CR,Poland etc are a lot better but Germany is definitely better than the Mediteranean countries.
Post some up to date photos of German girls you see in the street Greeky!
It is a bit dangerous here.Anonymity in Germany is a joke.

Greece would be very good but it is the euro.Euro means permanent domination of Germanics and Greeks are weak so good luck.
Good things in Germany:
1.Super infrastructure.Maybe the best in the world.Everything is built on standards.
2.High end machinery.Unlimited possibilities.
3.Very easy to get things done as everyone does what he is supposed to do.No need to slap,blackmail,do favors as in Greece to get the job done.
4.Typical politeness which facilitates things.
5.Cleanliness.They value cleanliness a lot here.People do not stink.Many places are sterile and cleaning service is 24 hours on.You never see rubbish in the streets etc.
6.Environment.They have kept forests etc intact.You never see the degree of pollution of Greece and the burnt forests of the latter.
Greeks on the contrary have built lower quality infrastructure,create obstructions to procedures,are more rude,dirty and have destroyed environment to a certain degree.It is a matter of priorities.That is for example a Greek would prefer a dirty shop where he could sell tasty products while the German would prefer to have a clean shop where he would sell non tasty products.Greeks regard cleanliness,politeness etc as spending of time while they do not like forests so much they prefer free spaces for housing instead.They also like to reduce competition by any means possible especially by blocking procedures.

Kamaki,
Your comparisons between Greece and Germany reminded me of Monty Python's The Philosophers' Football Match between GR and DE:

^only Icarus would know of some stuff like that
Why Germany is underrated? Other than the fact that the girls are twisted, psycho and often too much work for the value they offer (although there are very notable exceptions), the comments of somebody like w00t praising German intelligence, military might and general superiority while denigrating other cultures (all the while trying to imply that it is in jest) bring back too many memories of stereotypical looking guys doing the same and making a general uncomfort rise throughout my body while they shrug it off saying, we are just like everybody else, then citing a list of 3rd world countries or failed empires that did similar things to whatever you might criticize. To which my response was, well if you want to be treated like them, I'm sure the world will oblige you.

I've seen a sour article about Germany on RoK, and having been to two german cities recently (Berlin & Köln), I'll give my take on the matter.
In my opinion, quality is more or less similar accross Europe. In every city over 300,000, you have
- 10% girls that are really hot
- another 20% that are good looking
- another 40% that are average, would not date but would bang if I have been drinking a few beers.
- a remaining 30% that I would not touch unless completely drunk and no witness.
Then it comes to personal preference : if you like thin girls France is better, blondes germany is better, and so on.
If we agree that quality is more or less consistent, what really sets apart cities to me is the logistics.
In fact in my experience I had hotter girls in cities where I had better logistics, regardless of the average level.
Eastern European capitals offer a low cost of living, but it's tough to find a decent paying job there. On the other hand, it's comparatively easy to find a good job in Paris, but the cost of living is prohibitive. So in both these areas logistics are actually difficult.
But, in Germany, you have a bunch of cities where high paying jobs can be found (if you have the skills) and the cost of living is still moderate. Therefore Germany wins on logistics.
I've heard amazing things about Munich. That city has a very good intellectual and artistic climate, if that matters.
