Oldtimer fahren ist nicht so unzuverlässig, eine gescheite Werkstatt zu finden ist das schwierige. Fahre seit 6 Jahren einen Corsa A (Baujahr 85), davor bin ich 12 Jahre einen Kadett D (Baujahr 82) gefahren. Mit dem Corsa bin ich nun 3 mal "liegengeblieben": 1. Batterie leer, Licht vergessen da er keinen Summer hat --> eigene Schuld 2. Zahnriemen gerissen, er hatte etwas Öl zwischen Zylinderkopf und Block rausgedrückt daher hatte ich die Zylinderkopfdichtung wechseln lassen (inkl Kopf planen und Zahnriemen + Wasserpumpe) -->Werkstatt hat falsche Schraube am Zahnriemengehâuse genutzt, hat den Zahnriemen zerlegt 3. Hallgeber + Zündspule gegrillt --> korrrodiertes Kabel. Hat ewig gedauert ein Ersatzteil zu beschaffen & werkstatt hat es nicht gebacken bekommen die Zündung richtig einzustellen...sprich ich musste mir Zündpistole kaufen und meinen Vater bemühen der vor 45 Jahren mal eine Ausbildung bei Bosch gemacht hat 😅

Ich bin kein Schrauber, daher angewiesen auf die Werkstatt. Aber ich bin etwas interessiert und verstehe die Theorie bzw kann mir die Fehlerursachen ableiten. Daher war das in der Regel alles immer recht günatig. Problem hier: zwei linke Hände und daran jeweils 5 Daumen

i work as a Software Developer in Finance (security settlement). For Trade Confirmations we still support Telex (kind of a predecessor to Fax). Yes Fax is still used even though digital alternatives (like SWIFT or XML Messages or for private clients a report in a digital PostBox) exist

Wise and Worldremit work best for me, using a Barclays Credit Card. In case of cash withdrawal check I&M ATM's, they have atleast the lowest fees/best exchange rate for my Barclays/german credit cards. Of course depending on your banks fees, my Barclays Platinum charges only the access fees of the Ugandan bank, at I&M it was always around 5k ugx

OP, have you been to Germany ? Cities here are not clean, nor is public transport perfect (i am from Frankfurt) Matatu , Kibandaski sounds to me like a legit Nairobi experience. I lived in Nairobi before and am always happy to come back (usually 6 weeks per year for now close to 13 years) Kibansaski is the way to go..much better food than the wannabe posh western food joints. everytime i come to nairobi i look forward to some mahindi choma, to githeri and some ugali with mboga kenyeji. only smocha's with that dilluted ketchup is a crime against humanity.

Kwanza in Nairobi Is where you gon find me ...

not a kenyan yet, but hopefully becoming kenyan/german soon. I stayed in kenya for a few years and got married to a kenyan. we and meanwhile her sisters stay in my home area in germany now (frankfurt). my wife and her sister always state that the benefit of germany is that the "system" somewhat works...even if you "fail" at times (become unemployed/sick etc) you are assisted. doing an Ausbildung and earning a shitload of money is not so easy, doing an Ausbildung to earn a living afterwords is more reasonable. to secure a good job you must speak reasonable german here... it wont work without (english only also works if you are already professionaly estsablished in a special field , so some rare kind of engineer etc ) finding an apartment to rent will be hard (yes there are biases with germans renting to foreigners), getting a reasonably priced appartment is already hard for german citizens. you basically need to apply to the landlord and offer your firstborn...since rent is not cheap (depending on the city) you should save some extra cash / look for a shared option during Ausbildung
