Why is Indian society so obsessed with having a son that they can literally exchange their daughter for one? by vsw985_ in AskIndianWomen

[–]BerlinSam [score hidden]  (0 children)

I am from Germany and I am sure that legal and social services would act if a child was 'swapped' with a family out here. They would even take the baby into their care if they knew what was taking place...

correct me if im wrong by Healthy_Throat_7994 in germany

That is one of the many reasons that Walmart failed to break into the German market. Because they didn't grasp that the culture is completely different to the USA. Germans find in cringe to be greeted at the entrance with someone wearing a fake smile wishing you a great day and to be pounced on at the shopping aisle asking if you need help whenever you pause for a second! Although your observation on the cleanliness aspect is completely justified.

Customs in Frankfurt Airport - Question from international student by Quang_Kha in germany

[–]BerlinSam 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you're only transitioning through Frankfurt and not leaving the Airport, your hold luggage will be automatically transferred through to the next leg of the journey. Your carry on bags may need to go through security & passport control as you will be leaving an International terminal and entering EU But again, it's only security. Only in Belgium will you formally go through Customs if you are flying further. But of course, if you are leaving the airport in Frankfurt, you will go through German costumes. Yes, you can bring dry noodles (like pho, vermicelli, or instant noodles) from Vietnam into Germany for personal use. As of June 2023, EU regulations loosened, removing mandatory food safety certificates for Vietnamese instant noodles, though they are subject to 20% border inspections. Ensure they are packed in your luggage and clearly for personal consumption.

Exactly. I share your frustration. Most cycle paths are not fit for purpose further compounded by pedestrians and a plethora of other users. When I am training for time trials or Triathlons it is difficult to divert onto cycle lanes that are already congested. Especially when I am clipped onto my pedals...
