If you are going to be studying in Chemnitz, expect to pay 5€/m2 - in Munich 10.25€/m2. I think Hamburg is similarly expensive.
That is quite a range. In addition, we do not know what funds you…

Question I usually ask is "What brought you here?" A rather more passive assumption, possibly. But, as others note, I now start with the German setting. Big differences between age groups, locations,…

It depends on how long are they going to drive. The problem with a booster is that they suck if the kid falls sleep. If someone will be seating besides the kid and the kid is at least 15kg and you…

No experience here, but I know a couple of people who have driven to the UK border and been given leave to enter as EU family member, which the treaty essentially requires with or without a visa. You…

@Techsmex, I understand completely your point above. I do truly. But I only offer one point. The five 'nons' were not politically motivated, and that is the separator or additional element that…

An absolute long shot...assuming Lawrence is a surname that may have changed, there are only 3 Marvin Lees that show in a standard telephone book listing. One is quite close to Göppingen...

BTW, the distance between two of these...

We recently got Hybrid and stumbled across a setup which works quite well for us.
We previously had a normal Fritzbox connected to the DSL (only 3mbit/s but fine for most things) which was to be…

One of the things that is easy to overlook about Berlin routes is that you can book right to your end S station and it does not cost any more in my experience. (Do not know about U). It costs no more…

Thanks everyone for your help with my son's apocalyptic toe adventure. It has taken months and a bit of doctor shopping, but it's all better now. Thank goodness!…

Hi, is this still up to date?
I can wash inside my property, with my own drain, but people on the street can of course see me doing it.
If I use a bio-shampoo, then does it make it perfectly…

Yes, their former rather dipped. Not much let up. Just over a week since the last game, ticketing and planning for next season now in full swing. You know, start of August, summer will be passing…

Hey, sorry to bring this thread back from the dead, but I did my research and you can indeed park on the street (as I've been doing for 3 months). It's technically illegal, but tolerated with very…

Sad but true. I know where it went the other way and my friend she had to pay half the house to her ex husband, even though she had inherited it from her family.

If it is critical (you have to repair it for the owner) or you want to invest, you get one of the local Polsterer (sp!) to replace them.
Munich also has a shop where they would probably do it for…

Excellent point. Be very wary of any family, friends, school contemporaries who choose to become offended if you do not fully embrace their habits and schedules as it has always been done. A firm…

Hi Huzz,
As you can see, NOBODY has showed any interest, you and I excepted. So I have no choice but to cancel it AGAIN. (Maybe we're going to have nice weather this weekend.)

One thing I forgot to mention. Most areas allow non-residents to fish their waters if accompanied by a local with a license. However, the problem is that all fishing waters need to be managed by a…

Absolutely. States do not do 80 million personalised solutions. They usually do cookie-cutter "one size fits all" rules to meet their policy aims and balance their budgets. The populace has to fit…

No, sorry. But since you are here for 8 weeks only, none of them will provide you with a full scale therapy (that takes much more time). At most they can advise you 'first-aid'-like to deal with your…

That's a good idea. I won't have asked has Client Office had basic elements available in their Teeküche; but they have a rather lavish Canteen, where external food are not allowed. So basically I…

Many people arrive in Germany without speaking a word of the language. While some put months of their lives into mastering the language, others choose not to.
