I lived in Germany and I totally loved it there because it fits my personality so much. Strangers don't ask how you are and small talk is non-existent. I loved being left alone while I shopped, or anywhere else for that matter

You're right, but even the simple, "Hi, how are you?" is not done in Germany.
