But only if you have worked in Germany for a certain amount of time. They didn't pay for my health insurance until I gave them an E301 form... before that, I had to pay for health insurance by myself. Right bummer.

Hi.
I started a new job today, the people are nice there but the one problem I have is the smoking in the staff room. I'm quite allergic to cigarette smoke (Chronic Asthmatic) and I can't be in a room with someone who is smoking.
Today is only my first day so I didn't say anything. I did mention that I have asthma and can't smoke, but is there anything I can do to persuade them to smoke somewhere else... or will they just tell me to sit somewhere else in my coffee break?

It works alright for me, but the moment I use my boyfriend's german laptop, it has a fit.

I have no problem at all when my boyfriend stands to pee. He always wipes up the drips.
I often stand to pee in public loos - as sometimes, women are worse than men with the cleaning up."If you sprinkle when you tinkle
please be sweet and wipe the seat" :D

I need another bottle of that Blackcurrant juice!! I had a cold last week and drunk the bottle that I was meant to be saving for when my sister visits.

I just don't get it. Are they allowed to stop people accessing gmail.com in Germany? They don't own the URL so how can they control it!
It really threw me off when that came up on my screen the other day... I thought I'd never be able to read my emails again.

Stehpinkeln has been a big topic on my mind of late. Through watching day time TV I have come to realise that a vast majority of people (mainly German women) are disgusted by men who pee in standing.
I can understand that it can make a mess sometimes (I am not a man, thusly, I have no personal experience) but is it such a terrible thing? Am I the only one who seems to think that it's OK for men to stand and pee into a toilet?!

I will hopefully be working in a 400Euro job soon.
A quick question without the jargon:
Do I then have to pay for the AOK for myself or does the employer take it on?
Confuzzled. Kate.

I just had a roast chicken dinner... t'was ok. Shame about the plop of stuffing which I thought was going to be a mountain.
Oh well, back to bockwurst.

I hate the fact that you're not allowed to make so much noise on a sunday... but it's OK for the ooompa pooompa band for the Schützenfest to make a racket!

Does anyone know of an internet site where you can watch actual UK tv... BB1/2, ITV etc?

This is probably why I am now suffering from a stinking cold. First hot weather - then cold. grr!

In England I shop at tescos... Waitrose is only within my reach if I go there with my mum and my dad's money!!!
Here, I shop most of the time at Lidl. Why? Because it's cheap. I don't buy 20 bottles of cola and ready meals, I buy fruit and veg and make something good out of the food. It's convinient because there's only one sort of everything. You can mindlessly shop there. The worst for me is Aldi or Penny Markt. Beh.

"ich hab' kein bock..." I so want to use that when I speak English.
"Es ist mir wumpe.." like "Es ist mir egal"

I'm not too sure if I am glad or not that Jenny won. I mean, she looks amazing - but there's no personality. Wanda or Bambi would have been better.

Thanks for your help, everyone. I always worry about my medication - the thing that keeps me alive! I'll ask about the Large N3 prescription... I have to take my medicine daily so it'd be worth saving a bit of money!
And you say I can get away with not paying the 10Euro charge? I'll enquire about that too. :)

Hi.
I need to get a repeat prescription from a doctor for my asthma medication. My question: is the medicine in Germany the same as in England? I use Salbutamol (the blue one) and a new mix of Flixotide and Serevent (purple one).
It's just so I can be prepared at the doctors. I've been asmatic since birth and have been used to taking the same medication forever.
Has anyone had any experices of this? Plus, how much does the prescription cost? Do you only get 1 inhaler per perscrition?
I am insured by the AOK which I pay for (at the mo) out of my own pocket... does that mean it's more expensive?
Plus, above all that - do I need to prove that I am asthmatic???
Thanks.

My boyfriend's parents want to learn English for when my parents come to visit in 2 months time! I'm prepared to translate everything.

Where to buy a second-hand bike in Germany

Look out for local bike auctions. We got 7 bikes last year for 12 Euros. OK, we couldn't use them all, but with a bit of air in the tyres and tightening of the brakes... they're super!
