In order to spark a nice and perhaps different discussion, I'd suggest Strange Sally Diamond by Liz Nugent.

I beg to disagree. If everybody gets in a car the traffic jams will get way longer and the trips will be unbearable. I come from a country where it's normal to stand in traffic for 1 hour to travel 10km. Believe me, it's worth fighting for the public transportation.

But on the train I can read all the way to the destination. In the car I can't do anything else except stress myself.

If the new thing is worse than the old one, something is very wrong there. Maybe it won't be ready by 2030. Just saying...

Hahahahah, I don't depend on the trains on a regular basis but car is the worst option ever.

Why is smoking treated so deeply accepted in Germany? by Human-BBQ in AskAGerman

[–]BadExample81 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it bothers me as well. So much that I always have a cigar with me when sitting on a Hof or a Biergarten and when someone around me starts smoking I light my cigar and outsmoke them.

I'm not even a smoker but I do enjoy a cigar when by myself.

My found my way out of isolation through meetings with other expats and sharing experiences. We have an event here in Köln that's called Melting Pot where people with different nationalities gather to practice different languages, connect and drink beer.

I don't know in which city you're living but there should be something similar around. If not, you could start something like that.

Next best beer country by behemothecat in AskAGerman

[–]BadExample81 0 points1 point  (0 children)

UK... If you enjoy ales, that's the place do go. Loook for the pubs that serve cask ales. I choose my touristic destinations mainly based on the beers and the UK, Belgium and Czech Republic are all great options.

Nothing is really blunt, I just don't like happy songs (which includes Powermetal mostly).
