A friends daughter went on school exchange to Canada last year. If she would have stayed the full winter, she would not have gotten credit and would have lost a year. She had another option which was to come back in Feb. which would allow her to complete the school year here without a loss so that i...

There is no housing shortage where I live but that's because nobody wants to live here

Nearby larger towns already have a problem. Desirable cities like Berlin, Munich, Stuttgart etc. forget it.

Side note - why is everyone in such a manic hurry?? That drives me crazy. I see retired people like me rushing around like crazy and trying to carve 20 seconds off of everything. I let rushing people go in front of me almost every time I shop. Not just the ones with a couple of items. The ones that...

I've never noticed the cashiers expecting cash as most pay with card and it is always faster than cash. I'm one of the few cash people left but I pack my things before I pay. Always have. Nobody seems to mind. Except when my change purse doesn't close properly and all of my coins go rolling around....

My point is that any cashier will be doing their best to serve you correctly, and to not get in trouble, so it would be very much appreciated if you don´t make their work even more difficult!!! I actually like to go through as fast as possible because if everybody does, it also cuts down on the tim...

It was 36°C here yesterday. Went up to 28 inside. I open up early morning to cool the house down and when it starts to warm up, the shutters come down. Today it's a nice 23°C so the windows are open.

I I take out the bicycle, it tells me transporting a bicycle on the ICE is actually possible. But if I ask to take it, it says it is NOT possible. I travel to Italy, normally 13hr with IC. Without IC I would have t spend a night in between, so depart morning, arrive afternoon next day. I travel thi...

It's because bicycle transport is not possible for this route I think the problem here is the ICE+bicycle. If you change to local trains only, you get prices but it would take twice as long. Also if you take out the bike, you get prices for ICE as well.

Ouch, I was missing the fact that the DT must be canceled by the 10th of the previous month. My wife bought the June DT ticket on 14.6 for a family trip, and now we're stuck with July too. This very German way that everything is subscription based, and on purposely difficult to cancel, is extremely...

I also have problems with the app. I would appreciate knowing the cost of a ticket from Passau HBF to München HBF on June 22nd. I get 29€, which means a RT ticket just hits the 58€ DE ticket price. Before pulling the trigger for the DE ticket I would like to be sure the 29€ is correct. Since the DE...

How about one of these? No motor, easy set up, easy cleaning.

I can’t get the gas supplier to reduce my monthly payments for my mum‘s former home. They still insist on charging me 250€ per month despite only frost protection since last October and completely switched off since end of March. I’m still having to pay the amount my mum used to to super heat her h...

Yes! Weirdy weirdo vibes. No-one should be trying to see you inside your home unless they think your life is at risk. I remember stories of your close-by neighbours from the past. Strange people, calling the police and taking out court orders against each other, if memory serves. I'd say get blinds...

I got into hospital on a really short notice, couldn't really pack a decent suitcase for the upcoming days. Anyway, there is that nurse that I really fancy and I felt the need to shave my private parts. Lacking a handheld mirror I used the camera and screen of my mobile phone to improvise. It all w...

I got this neighbour, I don't know exactly where she lives or her name but she walks past my house every day on her way to work. Initially she started talking to me because of my cat who since died. Another neighbour told me that she had asked him if anybody still lived in my house and that she want...

They probably have the money and they are not getting 8% on it in the bank. I would say no to them. You're not getting 8% in the bank either. Also there might be some sort of obscure law you don't know about. In Iceland, if you pay in advance, you gain the right to stay 4 times as long with the same...

And now another health problem. Should I have my gall bladder removed? I had a recent ultra scan and was told my gall bladder was full of gall stones. Removing the organ was a recommendation. I will probably get it removed soon as I can function pretty well without it. People who have had it remove...

I do not understand the logic of banning someone from being in a particular county of UK (for 3 months) after he was caught shoplifting. Seems to be homeless. I would think having him stay in his usual hangout would make it easier to police him? Also, over 200 GBP worth of Cadbury Creme Eggs. Also,...

Having a valid travel document plus visa if you need it is not a guarantee to get into any country. It's always up to the discretion of the visa officer. Previously they might have kept people in airport jail and put them on the next flight home but I'm reading now that people are sent into ICE dete...
