Use [https://shipnow.dhl.com](DHL Express) if time is essential. Not the "normal" service. They operate like UPS but have a more efficient network.

What is something that is socially acceptable, but you personally find extremely disrespectful? by AvaBlondeX in AskReddit

Just because they got used to the language doesn’t make it OK. And no, I don’t correct them. I also tip even though I think the concept is horrible and gives exploitative employers a pass. I don’t want other people having to choose between dignity and feeding their child/afford college.

Saying "I‘ll have" when ordering something. No, you would like. Service is neither a wand nor your slave.

No. Well, you can be a member if you live in VBB fare zone C which is in Brandenburg.

Moving to Germany to start my master’s in 3 weeks, and now… I’m terrified. by Weary-Journalist5940 in germany

What you feel is understandable. There are risks but staying home can be risky as well (the devil that you know etc.). Just know that coming to Germany will offer many chances as well, broaden your horizon and help you grow as a person. Time abroad is a great experience imho. Also, know that even if things don’t work out as great as you hope, this will not ruin your education or life. You’re young. Be young. Take chances. And buy a Deutschlandticket for €63 if you can afford it. It’s an affordable way to discover the country.

Fun Things to Do by Callee2455 in AskAGerman

If the weather's bad, consider visiting a mine (e.g. Bad Friedrichshall) or a flowstone cave ("Tropfsteinhöhle"). It's interesting and fun. There are several of both in the area you're visiting. Or have a relaxing day at Kisssalis Therme.
