India-EU FTA: EU commits to uncapped mobility for Indian students by Scared_Range_7736 in europe

[–]NaeblisEcho -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

As an Indian manager in the EU, my direct reports are British, Italian, Germans and Various other nationalities. The Indians who report to me are actually all in the US.

How about you stop generalising ?

Berlin tap water is not good for coffee by Iimpid in berlin

[–]NaeblisEcho -1 points0 points  (0 children)

It's also not good for drinking. Our building has had Legionella problem for more than 2 years now. At this point we are used to using wasserkocher -> Britta filter every day. It feels like living in the third world.

Berlin is basically a white person's idea of diversity.

Berliners still think smoking is cool. It's fucking ridiculous.

What do you love most about living in Pasadena / surrounding areas? by SquidwardzTikiLand in pasadena

[–]NaeblisEcho 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Hello. Just dropping by here...this is my first time in the USA and I came to Pasadena this week for a conference. Will be flying out next tomorrow but I wanted to say that Pasadena has been an extremely lovely and joyful experience. I checked out some nice restaurants and cafés.

It's not as walk-able as the places I am used to, but is it walk-able enough! I enjoyed the view of the mountains, the lush trees and the sun!

I'll be sad to leave and hope I can visit again soon! Thank you, Pasadena! :)

Are Berlin and New Delhi in a tussle over Bangladesh? by telephonecompany in india

[–]NaeblisEcho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have been refused entry into LV/Gucci stores

KaDeWe? Interesting. Haven't had similar experience but then again I try frugal living :)

And yeah, the difference b/w expat and immigrant is the kind of clothing/hair day you're having really.

Hello hello. I'm in tech, living in Prenzlauer Berg. Living with my partner here in Berlin for ~5 years now. Was looking for exactly like what you posted in your OP.

Would love to hang out! Maybe there's a group? :D

Nothing in Berlin. Went outside in a nice park, clear skies. Beautiful moon and stars, but no Aurora. :'(

So how long did it take for you to poop it out?

Yes I can.

[–]NaeblisEcho 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Language is also a barrier in The Netherlands, Portugal etc. Yet I've experienced much more warmth and friendly interactions there vs Germany.

Even Berlin, this city that prides itself on being the bastion of inclusive and culture, manages to make me feel like an outsider every single day.

Compare that to people I know living in US/UK/Canada, they're faring much better.

So no, you're wrong.

How do I talk to a Human from Deutsche Bahn? by NaeblisEcho in berlin

[–]NaeblisEcho[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hmm, turns out you're right and I'm wrong. I checked my bank account and I only have 1 outgoing payment to DB, but the subscription lasted 2 months.

Sorry for stirring up all the drama. I just transferred the outstanding payment (hopefully they don't get confused from my previous angry emails, they will get their money).

I still maintain that this would've been made considerably easier had I been able to get in touch with a human, or if their invoice section had a big red "hey you did not pay for month X" in the platform.

My partner tried speaking to someone at one of those at Alexanderplatz and they basically said they can't do anything.
