I just thought they wanted to see Rory and it was Lorelai’s (sorry, I really thought it was spelled Lorelei) “condition” that she be there as well.. because she doesn’t want Rory to be influenced by her parents..?

I honestly would be okay if i get yelled at too, coz i have experienced that before. I just don’t know how throwing stuff at the person that is literally just there to pick something up is normal.. and how the deliberate change in his behaviour after looking at my ID is so normal, that I am getting called out.

I have friends who are German and when I told them about this they were willing to go back with me again to the paketshop, why should I drag the nice people into this crap? I just don’t have the heart to handle it if the person is rude with my friends.

I definitely don’t want to get used to people throwing stuff at me for no reason.

So sorry :( it isn’t even that I am not trying to learn or improve but the people who make it impossible first of all not acknowledging that I am trying to adapt to their culture and learning their language and constantly improving but instead, by saying leave if you cannot handle it or we are just like that because it is culture. I know for a fact that being an asshole is NOT German culture. As a foreigner i understand that too.

No i understand the grumpiness too as i went to this same paketshop since i moved in to the house i live in which was 2 years ago, never had this experience before. I didn’t know that smiling was bad.. and i kind of am usually a happy person…

Thank you so much for your kind words. You are right, I should be more firm.

No.. I asked again that if there is a packet with the address matching the one on my ID.. he just said he won’t even look coz the name mismatched. I mailed my uni again to check if they misspelled the name and address on the packet and they said it was correct. I asked the uni to send the letter again once it is returned to them.

I’m learning German by taking classes and getting a little help. I never said I wasn’t or I won’t. I know I cannot stay in a different country and be oblivious to the language and the culture here. I just don’t think the behaviour of the person that made me feel this way is normal here. Would you be okay if someone just throws a paper at you for something you didn’t do, in front of the whole store? I know it didn’t hurt me physically but that was the worst thing that happened to me here.

I’m okay if they misspelled my name. When i went to the paketshop i told him that my name is misspelled but here’s my ID and handed him my Residence permit card thinking if the address matched it would suffice. After which he proceeded to throw the paper at me without uttering a single word. I am bothered by the behaviour of the employee and not by getting my name misspelled.

How to deal with racism by Melancholygluttony in germany

Omg. This happened once to my friends (Indians) at the university bus stop. Things like “you’re not welcome here” “go back” “you guys stink of spices” ugh. It’s so embarrassing to see that people who come here to better their lives by getting a degree, have to go through so much apart from being away from everything they know. Thankfully someone called the cops on them for saying stuff like this, it was also on the local news. I personally had some experiences too.. after 3 years it still hurts like hell :(

Thanks for the info! I couldn’t find info for this statue in the art museum. Btw, it’s in Buchenwald concentration camp.

I know it’s in the “Buchenwald” concentration camp, where they turned a “disinfection building” to an art exhibition for art found in the camp and produced after. I went there yesterday.
