Today we were taking a very crowded train, but one seat was empty. When I asked for the seat for my old father, the person sitting next to the empty seat said that his friend will board the train a few stops later. After a few minutes of discussion, I had my father sit down there, but that was not nice. You can't reserve seats for your friends in regional trains - or any kind of trains. His friend boarded 30 minutes later.

Hey everyone, Years ago I read an old blog post about a waterfall near Mittenwald that stuck with me ever since. It described a canyon with teal water, smooth rocks, and a natural swimming pool right under a waterfall. This is the one: [https://farnorthlight.blog/tag/bavaria/](https://farnorthlight.blog/tag/bavaria/) I'm finally going to Bavaria soon, but I have a bit of a problem. Normally I would never ask for exact directions because I really enjoy exploring and finding places on my own. H

There has got to be public health advisory for this at this point. Doing sport generally may be good for you, I get it. But when it's 35°C outside, sustained exercises such as jogging makes it difficult to maintain your body temperature below 37°C. Most of the time the people who I see jogging don't even have water bottles anywhere near them, which further the elevates the risks of dehydration and heatstroke. I have to think that the elevated hospitalization rate in the country is partly caus

In January 2024, I arrived in this beautiful country, Germany Stuttgart. I was welcomed by the company's HR and received a direct blue card. The first week was challenging, with job changes and surprises about the work culture. Later, I was impressed by German grocery stores, the vibe, the beautiful walking tracks, and the peaceful surroundings. I somehow lost my job, but I obtained my permanent residence after 28 months of working here! I can’t emphasize enough how beautiful life is here; despi

I came to Germany from India in 2021 to pursue my Master's degree. At the time, my plan was pretty straightforward: come to Germany, finish my studies, and eventually go back to India to run the family business. I finished my Master's in 2024 and landed a job around the same time. Things worked out well professionally, and early this year I was able to get my permanent residence. Back in India, especially during my Bachelor's, I was a pretty introverted guy. Moving to a completely new country

I’m in the middle of plastering my walls after wallpaper removal so I can paint instead. Im preparing to sand the plaster smooth. Because I don’t want dust to get all over the house I have taped up a tarp on the ceiling to contain the dust. There’s no light behind the tarp so I brought in a flashlight, but all I could find was a blacklight flashlight. When I turned it on, I saw this. What happens during construction of a house that creates these perfectly round circles?

I found this website where you can see the forest of different lands, it is quite interesting to see how it will look like in the future

I was in Baden Baden for a week, did a day trip to Switzerland (Visp) and then 5 days in Hamburg and a day in Karlsruhe. You don't need a car. Regarding the Deutsche Bahn: * The stories are true - for us the trains were mostly late - no joke! If you expect this going in, you will be better off. * The DB app is kinda crap with American credit cards. The work around (other than buying at the station) is to use Paypal as the payment method, and also provide Paypal with alternate credit cards to

I found a ring while travelling to my home in Frankfurt. If you think this is yours, please dm with the necessary details. I speak English along with my mother tongue Telugu and A2 level german.

I honestly feel like I don't really understand German guys, and I don't know how to connect with them. Lately it's even making me doubt myself. A bit about me: I moved to Germany almost two years ago for work. I'm 32 years old. I don't know how attractive I am by German standards, but I'm in good shape because I go to the gym regularly. Back in my home country, I was considered quite attractive and sometimes people would ask for my number, but I guess that's not really the point. I am not that

Hello from across the big pond! I’m sitting here at around 22:30 my time enjoying a warsteiner dunkel and I realized I’ve been drinking a variety of warsteiner for the last few years. I absolutely love them. I’m just wondering how they hold up in Germany? I’ve had a few other brands, but the warsteiners seem to command my areas beer markets. I hope you guys have a wonderful Oktoberfest, thanks for the awesome beer! Update: So I’ve learn some new things. 1. Oktoberfest isn’t as widely celeb

This is lake Eibsee and it's amazing fr. M23 from South Asia. I live in (very close to) Ingolstadt and would genuinely need information about the Radio tax. I have received a letter in the month of may to register/pay the Radio fee, in June I received a letter regarding yet to register for the Radio tax. Now it's the first week of August and I'm trying to complete this process. I want to know about the penalty if any and the amount. If yes, ways to avoid the penalty and how should I resolve thi

I have an African grey inherited from a German family and I was wondering what ukmush means. Roughly transcribed of course. Whenever it comes to feeding time he doesn’t back up. One day he told me ukmush when I was sweeping near his cage and when I repeated it he backed up. Now whenever it’s feeding time I tell him ukmush and he backs up. Does it mean back up in German?

I just spent the past five days in Germany, I've visited the country a few times now and always found the food scene to be so impressive. I've really enjoyed Berlin in particular, some photos from the trip are attached here. The city has such a diverse range of cuisines, during my most recent trip I had Sri Lankan food and vegan Vietnamese food, neither of which I could find back at home. I'm also a big fan of currywurst. My exposure to Germany is pretty limited as I've only been to Berlin and
