This is it how it looks, I broke the plastic thing in the middle when looking at it. There is a single switch inside on the other of this wall for turning it on and off.
Not sure about the fuse,…

There are people here who are experts in the insurance side, maybe they may have a view. State system would be cheaper, and certainly pretty comprehensive. I think any payment is about 14.5%, with a…

Yes, the UK is not a public transport heavy nation of course, compared to here. But since I have moved here and used it more, I've experienced all sorts of things like rail derailments. Last year, my…

No If it was not obvious to you from the title, the thread is about the TG flooding, and how to get the landlord to get it fixed. Not sure that made you think that either the original post or any…

Why not just wing it for 3 months? Book a holiday flat, explore, and look around. Then you can see costs, no Anmeldung needed, and your EHIC card will cover emergencies for the 3 months. Then you can…

It’s not cheap, but you can buy a VRS Monthly Ticket for Zone 7. The cost is a mind-boggling 293.60€/mo. but it will allow you to go in and around Aachen + to Köln and Bonn as much as you like.

In the Darmstadt (inc Dieburg) area, we do appear to have free emergency state stuff - hotlines and such. There are adverts for it around, usually of the "feeling isolated?" sort. I do not know what…

How German has completely fuddled up my English (and how I’ve dealt with it)
