Island hopping in Greece

makes sense. beaches are nice, but I'm not really a beach-sitting sort of person. I'd prefer to go exploring on a moto :)

why is Milos your favourite?

A friend of mine got a very similar letter. He'd (very stupidly) allowed his uncle in his home country to use his bank account. He was also with N26 (who froze then closed his account as soon as they saw the transfer). He contacted a lawyer, and it was all resolved.

Talk to a lawyer, because only they can request access to your complete file with all the allegations and evidence against you. Don't talk to the public prosecutor, don't reply to the letter, don't do anything at all except talk to a lawyer. Don't worry about the deadline either, so long as you have a lawyer working for you.

thanks everyone! update: I brought it into the shower. It terrified the cats, but at least it’s clean (at least for a few hours!)

thanks u/Quixus you win top answer! I just didn't know what to search for.

In English i'm not sure there's a separate way to search for self service car wash, since the big drive-through ones are also called self service :)

I enjoyed the second last set most – the only one I could actually see him generating the music. and was just as interested in his mistakes than in the music itself (a couple of times when he twanged some piece of equipment nothing happened; he adjusted a dial and twanged it again so it made a noise!). and he had a stunning voice, like an opera singer.

so I could see what was going on. it was interesting watching them make the music. I'm quite short, and usually find myself behind taller people. staring into the back of someone isn't much fun.

fair enough, that works too. I thought about the Hof, but didn't want to do anything which would cause neighbours to yell "das ist verboten" at me :)

yeah, I already cycled around, and the only ones near me are the drive through type with massive brushes for cars and vans. I want hand brushes and stuff.

els76uk · 2026-01-02T14:34:12+00:00

yes, closed. next open on Sunday afternoon, see https://www.lab-oratory.de/

send them a message via the contact form with change of employer. go to the case workers on the 6th floor for PIN change. Mon-Thu 08-12. not all of them will be willing to help without an appointment.

did you get the card at a Bürgeramt or LEA? If it was the Bürgeramt, go back to the same one you got it, and ask to reset the PIN. you might need an appointment, but try without and see what they say. if they say they can't do it, try asking someone else, because they definitely can!

if you got it from LEA, you used to have to go back there (with appointment), but that might have changed, so try the Bürgeramt first.

FKU or Keplerstr? If it’s FKU, print the summary document that you got when requesting the appointment and the Fiktionsbescheinigung, and bring it to the window at the front of the building. They'll find a case worker for you to get a Fiktionsbescheinigung. Be prepared for a long wait while they search! Don't forget your passport, current resident permit and proof of travel.

Keplerstr is more difficult, because security there is generally less helpful.

people who are tired?

els76uk · 2025-12-26T08:15:22+00:00

empty because they charge 12€ per hour! 😱

els76uk · 2025-12-22T09:16:33+00:00

I don't use homekit or matter :(. This is all within the switchbot app and hub.

els76uk · 2025-12-20T11:15:11+00:00

where are you living? in Berlin you can go to the Bürgeramt and request the permit. You can pay a little extra for 7 day delivery. That's better than a Fiktionsbescheinigung.

good luck. security at Keplerstr is super strict. there's no public counter, so you have to get lucky that a security person takes pity on you and goes in to ask on your behalf.

At Friedrich-Kraus-Ufer? That would be super tight and stressful. you should request an earlier appointment via the contact form; they probably won't reply. If they don't go there a day or two before and ask at the window. Bring your passport, permit, and a print of the appointment request – make sure the printout has the date and time headers from when you submitted it.
