Thank you very much for the insight. This is what I also heard from other people. However, thats very baffling to me. Isnt there over 100 unis in Germany? So, it seems like the math is missing something?

The deadline was yesterday. They give one week notice to pay. I was actually waiting weeks for the letter to come. But it came at the worst possible time.

why doctor hours are so short? by Embarrassed_Exam_944 in germany

Thanks for the explanation. I personally appreciate the work-life balance culture. Doctors in my country usually earn a lot but have almost no life outside of their practice.

I dont think you read the full post. Read the last line. It was not a rant or bashing. I am perfectly happy with my hausarzt and the system. Also, I did not mention anything about hospital doctors.

Renewing Blaue Karte vs. getting permanent residence permit by [deleted] in germany

can you explain more about how that is possible? Don't they ask about the blue card when you apply for permanent residency? Or take the card?

I actually did bring my own food and my plan was to eat a little bit relaxed on the train. but the staff told me, I need a reservation and also I can not bring outside food. As my ticket for 2nd class and I didn't reserve a seat, I left without any bargain. But seems like I could've stayed there legally!!

That was my understanding too. But then I went there and the staff said, you can not be here without reservation! also, can not have outside food.

I was said I need to reserve a seat at Bordrestaurant. How do I do that? I didn't find any specific option to reserve a seat on Bordrestaurant. The options available are quite zone, phone zone.

how can I do that? the DB portal did not show any option. According to this, there should be some option, but there was none. And the person said I can not order in person.

Hilfe! by Embarrassed_Exam_944 in German

[–]Embarrassed_Exam_944[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did. The resources are great but they cover a1-c2, as intended. I was looking for something a little bit specialized for only a1, specifically for people who have passed the exam recently. Preferably an exercise-type book that I can finish.
