Foreign workers relocating to Pittsburgh cope with culture shock!

In the summer of 2010, Thorsten Luetzler and his wife, Ariane, were living in Leverkusen, Germany, on the verge of buying their first home.

That is, until one day at work for the Bayer Corp. Mr. Luetzler received an offer for a position in Pittsburgh, with the instructions to sleep on it and talk it over with his wife.

"I don't need to talk to her, I don't need to sleep on it," he answered right away. "This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."
