ok, so here is the thing about cologne that nobody tells you when you first arrive with a backpack and zero euros: this city actually wants you to get around cheaply, almost like it feels bad for you. the first week i spent here, i survived on a combination of student tickets, expired coupons, and pure dumb luck, which apparently is a viable strategy if you know where to look. locals will warn you about tourist traps but never mention that the real secret is just walking everywhere because the city is annoyingly flat and the cathedral is always visible as a landmark. i learned this from an old man at the market who told me ‘distance is an illusion sold to children’ while eating a bratwurst.

coffee here costs around 2.50 euros unless you go to the italian place near the university where the guy gives you extra foam if you attempt german. rent for a room in a shared flat averages 600-800 euros depending on how many plants your roommate has. safety feels okay but my friend got her phone stolen near the central station last month. the job market for english speakers is decent in marketing and tech companies clustered around the media park. trains run precisely because germany but delays happen during construction season which seems to be always.
