We moved from Switzerland a few years ago. Prepare for a bit of a culture shock. Here are some perspectives and tips after living here a few years.

It'll take some time to get your head around the scale of things and the vast open spaces. Germany is roughly the same size as Arizona but most of it is totally empty.

Except for the summer, weather is generally wonderful – but that's a good time to visit Europe. Get ready for things like this once in a while: http://imgur.com/a/QDQUO

I think Germany might be one of the few countries that Arizona recognizes as having a valid driver licenses. We had to redo our written and practical driving test to get ours. It's as if we had never driven.

Unlike Germany, it is very common for people to buy houses instead of renting and the choices are huge in the valley.

'Patriotism' is a big deal here. If you try to discuss things like Jeff Daniels says here and suggest things could be better, prepare for some folks to get aggressive with you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1zqOYBabXmA It's best to avoid it except amongst close friends.

Cars and gas are very cheap compared to Europe. So is eating out except for wine which is expensive (but the American practice of happy hours softens that pain).

The service industry is generally fantastic compared to Europe. Want your garage door repaired on a Sunday? No problem. Need somebody to make your huge outdoor barbecue look like new? Yep, lots of folks can do that for you. Maintain your pool or garden or ???? The choice of service providers and the low prices compared to Europe will spoil you.

Be very careful about what's in the food you buy. Products that look like products you bought in Germany will have a lot more sugar or other stuff added to them for the US markets. It's very easy to put on weight here because of the gigantic portions and what's in the food.

Most banking is about 10 years behind Europe. They don't use IBAN's.

The US health care system is broken. If you are paying yourself, learn to utter the magic words "self-pay" which will get you a big discount (this is related to the practice of jacking up prices with the knowledge that insurance companies will only pay a percentage of that). If you need any health care that is optional or not time sensitive, go to Europe. It'll be a lot of cheaper (sometimes by a factor of 10) and the care will likely be much better.

Massive amount of advertisements direct to the public of drugs for diseases you probably never heard of is rampant. The American Medical Association also thinks it's nonsense. In the world, only the US and New Zealand allow direct marketing of drugs to consumers. Drug prices are super high compared to the rest of the world and US pharma lobbies hard to prevent imports from places like Canada.

The US does not seem to be able to properly regulate telemarketing so spam telephone calls will drive you crazy. Consider getting one of these: https://www.amazon.com/CPR-Call-Blocker-Telemarketer-Solicitor/dp/B00JG02ZEY

Cox is probably the best ISP and their Gigabit is now rolling out (we're getting about 950 Megabits per second on a wired connection).

Have fun! It's a great place to live and you'll realize how much blue skies improve your mood.

Att limits to 10 blocks and charges a monthly fee which is ridiculous. There are a few consumer devices that blocks numbers that you store but they are rather pricey. Was wondering if there was a better solution with an arduino.

Bloody expensive but there is this option

Hey .. io un affare del genere ce l'ho da un paio d'anni questo e ti assicuro che non funziona. Ero arrivato ad aggiungere piu di 300 numeri in blacklist. Alla fine chiamavano lostesso. I numeri di call center cambiano in continuazione e anche solo pensare di bloccarli tutti è pura utopia.

EDIT

Un apparecchio del genere per fare il salto di qualità dovrebbe avere un database cooperativo nazionale (o perché no .. anche internazionale) con tutti i numeri dei callcenter aggiornati dagli stessi utenti mano a mano che li aggiungo sul loro device. Quella sarebbe la soluzione definitiva e senza sbatti a tutti i nostri problemi.

Not sure if this is a viable solution for you, but I use a call blocker at home and it has made a world of difference. The call blocker sits in-between the phone line and your phone/answering machine, and it will intercept and suppress any phone numbers that you don't want to ring through. You just hit the "Block" button to store an incoming caller ID into the blocked list, and the device will prevent that number from ringing through from then on. Works great, and has eliminated nearly all of the unsolicited calls that I used to get.

The exact model that I use is no longer sold, but Amazon offers several models. This one seems to be popular.

I bought this about a year ago: https://www.amazon.com/CPR-Call-Blocker-Telemarketer-Solicitor/dp/B00JG02ZEY

When a call comes in you don't want, hit the "Block Now" button and voila! Only slight annoyance is that you'll still hear the phone ring once before it kills it. Also, runs off of phone jack power (no separate power source needed). Works!
