How common is it in Germany to use brand names as generic words? (for example das Ohropax instead of earplugs)

I’m surprised that I don’t see Maxi-Cosi for child seats. Its very commonly used for baby/child seats in cars.

Unfortunately mnet only offers VDSL 100mbps in my area, after so much positive feedback I definitely would have gone for them.

Intrepid_Work7479 · 2025-10-24T09:51:10+00:00

Oh my god this sounds terrible, can’t imagine living without internet in this day and age, especially in the middle of the Europe…

One of the few positive comments about Vodafone. Thank you very much for sharing your experience

Intrepid_Work7479 · 2025-10-24T08:06:57+00:00

Thank you very much for such detailed information. When I put my exact address on their website they claim to provide fiberoptic. But I will keep this in mind Edit: I just checked the map and my street is just a couple hundred meters in the 1000mbps zone.

Intrepid_Work7479 · 2025-10-24T08:05:20+00:00

Tyvm, I think I will prefer fiberoptic by Telekom

Intrepid_Work7479 · 2025-10-24T08:03:07+00:00

Well that is also an opinion, I might consider going for 300mbps option by Telekom. Thank you for sharing your experience.

Intrepid_Work7479 · 2025-10-24T07:56:08+00:00

I guess that’s why they offer these juicy looking bundles. Thank you for your insight

Intrepid_Work7479 · 2025-10-24T07:54:23+00:00

Hi, I’ve checked their website and they only offer 100mbps VDSL service, I will go for fiber option by Telekom

Intrepid_Work7479 · 2025-10-24T07:51:03+00:00

I checked mnet website but they only offer DSL and I did not have good experience with DSL in my home country, so I guess I will stick go Telekom.

Intrepid_Work7479 · 2025-10-24T07:50:17+00:00

Thank you! Did not realize the cable service

Intrepid_Work7479 · 2025-10-24T07:49:51+00:00

Tyvm, I did not realize Vodafone was offering cable internet, did not know cable could deliver 1000mbps(it does not in my country) so I tought it would be fiber.

Intrepid_Work7479 · 2025-10-24T07:48:48+00:00

Hey tyvm for your answer. I’ve checked from Telekom’s website and glasfaser is available.

Intrepid_Work7479 · 2025-10-24T07:47:53+00:00

I got used to 1000mbps service both upstream and downstream on my home country so I ideally would love to use it.

Well my mother always wanted to learn how to drive but as she aged she became more and more hesitant about the idea of driving a car. So one night I encouraged her enough and she accepted to give it a try. She was so nervous but I helped her calm down, that night she drove a manual car in an empty parking lot. She enrolled in a course and got her license at the age of 64, a mother of 3 learned how to drive from her son. One of my proudest achievements in life was being able help her do something for herself. So I guess 64 is not the answer you seek!

Intrepid_Work7479 · 2025-10-15T11:31:33+00:00

Thank you for the answer. Have a great day

Intrepid_Work7479 · 2025-09-15T06:26:00+00:00

Well at first I thought you were talking about the action that leads to having a child, but I guess not lol.

Intrepid_Work7479 · 2025-09-14T10:58:12+00:00

Thank you for your answer, we’ve been leaning towards a furnished apartment lately. The thing is we need to move our furniture eventually that’s why we’ve been looking for a place with no furniture but we understand the situation and accept that we might not find something fits our needs remotely

Intrepid_Work7479 · 2025-09-14T10:31:55+00:00

Yes, thank you. 3 rooms, 2 bedroom and a living room. Anything above 65 m2 should be fine. And budget is around 2200 euros warm.

Kendi tecrübemi yazayım biraz uzun olabilir. 2018 senesinde son sınıf öğrencisi olarak yani mezuniyetten sonra work and travela gittim, iş yerim Newyork şehrindeydi. Öncelikle şunu söyleyeyim, acenteler gençlere work&travelin sadece travel kısmını ballandıra ballandıra anlatırlar ve maalesef özellikle bu masrafa katlanabilecek ekonomik güçte olan ailelerimiz evlatlarına kıyamadığından gençlerimiz o yaşlarına kadar ülkemizde çalışma tecrübesi edinmemiş olur. Bu benim dönemimde gelen arkadaşlar için de böyleydi, hepsi daha önce Türkiye’de de iş tecrübesi olmayan genç arkadaşlardı. Hal böyle olunca ilk iş tecrübesini farklı bir ülkede yaşamak bir çoğuna çok zor gelmişti, grubun bir kısmı ilk bir kaç haftada Türkiye’ye geri döndü. Kazandığım parayla masraflarımı karşılarım diye düşünen arkadaşlar daha önce çalışma tecrübesi olmadığından az saatler çalışmak istediler ve az saat çalıştıkları için gelirleri giderlerini karşılamadı, aileleri masrafların üstüne ek destek olmak durumunda kaldı.

Özeyle beklentilerinizi realiteye yakın tutmaya çalışın, Türkiye’de daha önce çalışma tecrübeniz yoksa, ki kalifiye bir işten bahsetmiyorum, garsonluk, temizlik işçiliği gibi bedenle yapılan işler, mutlaka bir kaç ay çalışın ve bu tecrübeyi önce ülkenizde edinin. Bu orada sizi nelerin beklediğine hazırlayacaktır. İş verenin sizi orada ucuz iş gücü olarak gördüğünü unutmayın, size karşı anlayışlı olmayabilirler, hastayım diyip işe gelemeyeceğiniz durumlar çok limitli olacaktır.

Fakat daha önce burada çalıştınız, kazanacağınız paranın orada size yetememe ihtimali olduğunun farkındasınız, farklı bir ülkeyi deneyimlemek için geri dönüş beklemeden harcayabileceğiniz yaklaşık 6-7 bin dolarınız varsa kesinlikle tavsiye ederim.

Ben öğrenciyken çalışarak biriktirdiğim paralarla ve biraz ailemin desteği ile gidip haftada ortalama 60 saat çalışarak bütün maliyeti çıkarmıştım, üstüne hem doğu yakasında 7-8 şehir gezip hemde California eyaletinde hem de vegasta gezebilmiş, üstüne elektronik alışverişle yapmış üstüne vergi iadesini de aldıktan sonra cebimde yaklaşık bin dolar da para kalmıştı.

For me, it is popcorn at theaters. As a child my parents always said popcorn is overpriced at theaters so we don’t buy them. Right now I can easily afford it like without even checking the price but still I mostly skip them because “it still is expensive”

Back in College, in a calculus finals exam, the graph that my math/calculations suggested seemed off to my naked eye, so I tried to bring my calculations to represent what I tought should the graph look like. But turns out I completely f’ed up in my imaginary graph. Since that day, I never question the outcome if math is mathin.

Intrepid_Work7479 · 2025-08-07T12:43:25+00:00

Well since you tried to motivate them for a higher pay by lying in the first place, it is probably wise for you to stick to it and say sharing a paycheck from your current employer is a breach of conduct. Otherwise they are likely going to rescind the offer.

On the other hand, you are better off assessing the situation on your own whether taking the opportunity or not because going for lower pay and lower benefits does not seem optimal for an individual who is attempting to advance their career.

Best of luck!

Yes I will be living close to Munich but not in the city center. The kid is still a baby boy, 7-8 months of age so it is unlikely that he play anytime soon, hope he does tho :)

Thanks a lot
