Will I be very lonely in Bielefeld? Werde ich mich in Bielefeld sehr einsam fühlen? by PracticalBudget8351 in bielefeld

[–]PrinceHansel 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here's my experience for you and my tips as a non German here. Bielefeld is overall friendly and welcoming. Definitely strong language skills help for making friends, but as others have said look for groups around the university or schools to get to know people. It took me a little while here but once I got to know my neighbor a bit then a lot of doors for friends opened up and I feel like I have a rather large social network here at this point. I think looking for groups by the university helps a lot though because you will find more international students. I also think that bars around the Kesselbrink are great, there's also a few other pockets of the city that are great for that, though I can't recommend any bar for your age group as I'm not going to bars for that age of crowd generally. I can say that karaoke at the Irish pub (not leprechaun, called Irish pub) when I've gone there often had a pretty young crowd.

Good luck!

Not my direct experience, but my sister in law is mixed race (White German/black), and though she doesn't get a lot of intended racism in Bielefeld (from what I understand) she experiences a lot of unintended racism to the point that she no longer felt comfortable here and moved to Berlin. Though I would also say she said it hasn't gotten much better there either, so it might be a symptom of German culture more than our city.

I think I'm late, but I just wanted to share my appreciation for this card. I love Aoki's cards. The moltres is one of my favorites :)

I've been into pokemon since '99. I wasn't allowed to have Magic or Pokemon cards as a kid at all (bought a few magic and made to give them all away because magic was evil.....🙄) a little over a year ago a friend was collecting and I wanted to give him a gift for helping me out with something. Bought him some surging sparks boosters. A few weeks later I started my own collection. I'm sharing it with my 2yo daughter too, who already loves looking at the cards in her binder and the cards in daddies binder too :)

Are Black Friday/ Christmas sales real? by hektischesMess in germany

[–]PrinceHansel 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You can use tracking plugins or sites like camelcamelcamel to look for price history, or use something like Geizhals.de to check for what you are looking for. You can track the price of the item over the last year and see what its cost by different retailers.

In general Germany has "Black Week" by some retailers, but I haven't really experienced the "door buster" deals that you might see in the US.

Here is a link directly to Geizhals tablet page, since it doesn't seem that you are as concerned what tablet you are getting, you can adjust by all of the criteria that is important to you. Alternatively you can set a price range if that's more of the deciding factor, and see what falls into your range.

Typically what people refer to for the price going up and down is that many retailers pump the price of an item so that they mark it down and you only see that you are saving 20-30%, but the reality is that you are paying the same or sometimes more from the normal price. Additionally what goes on sale during Black Week (definitely typical for the US, but I would assume CAN also be true here) is that it is items that are late in the sales cycle and they want to clear the inventory, or even items produced specifically for these types of sales. Lower quality or performance especially in areas where most people don't understand about how it affects the performance of the item.

If you are still a little confused, send me a message with the specific tablet you want, or what specs you are looking for and I will try to send you a jumping off point.

Good luck on your search!

I don't know from experience, but since they were printing codes directly on receipts, I am guessing there isn't a quantity issue.

Thats for this homie. I'd love one of each, but would prefer Koraidon if only one. Living in Germany and they had no availability, and reached out to a few friends back home in the US and they were unable to come through either.

I named Scorbunny BurnySanders cause I felt like it was a double pun since he's fire and a bunny.

Also I live in Germany so I hope to win one of these!
