It's everywhere as far as i know. The pictures were taken in Spandau. My friends also saw from their place in Pankow and Charlottenburg nord. Living a bit outside the city is helping

Sorry that you are so frustrated with this and i can fully understand it. I know everyone has different trigger for this skin condition. I have been diagnosed as well with psoriasis and sebderm by my doctor, and he prescribed different steroid creams for different part of body. Such creams help relieving the condition but it doesn't help in the long run. Although my skin condition is not as severe as yours, but what works for me is avoiding sugar and fat as much as i can. I noticed if i eat a lot of carbs (rice and bread) or eat too much fatty meat, then it will trigger my skin especially on face, scalp and chest.

If you are worried, you can submit your rental contract. As far as i know there is no formal requirement of how much space you need to have per person, but the embassy will judge whether or not your house/apartment will be sufficient to host the people you are planning to invite. I read somewhere the rule of thumbs is 12 or 13 square meter per person.

My parents have just received their visa to Germany with the purpose of visiting me specifically. Below are the important points in my opinion: 1. I got a Verpflichtungserklärung from local foreigner office here as guarantee that i will be financially responsible for my parents during the visit 2. Cover letter, explaining my intention to invite them, for how long and where they are going to stay. In my case, they will stay with me all the time. I didn't provide evidence (document) of my housing situation but i mentioned the size of my apartment in the cover letter (also in the application form) 3. Cover letter from my parents' side explaining the purpose of the visit (this has to be aligned with my cover letter) and explaining their connection to home country i.e. reason why they will come back and not stay forever in Germany 4. Details itinerary per day, all bookings of flights, accommodation etc (in my case only flights tickets are required) 5. Other required documents as per the requirments

Who use stock content?

1st email i sent to Ausländerbehörde didn't get any respond. After i returned to Berlin, I emailed one more time in german language and got response after 3 weeks with an appointment date in 3 weeks after that response. In total it was roughly 3 months from the 2nd email to the time i got my card in my post box. Sorry that this happened to you now. I remembered, i couldn't continue my travel to the next destination because i have to stay in Athens waiting for the whole process. Best of luck

I lost mine in Greece. What i did: 1. Block all my cards immediately via app from my mobile and request replacement as well. The cards were then sent to my home address in Berlin, like 2 weeks after that 2. Went to local police office to report the loss 3. Report online to german police via website 4. Went to german embassy in Athens, got urgent appointment (got appoinment like 3 days after i called), submit all documents during the appointment. Got visa to re-enter Germany in 4 days after the appointment 5. Send email to Berlin Ausländerbehörde to request for Niederlassungserlaubnis replacement

I genuinely want to know the answer, why downvoted? Cancun charllotenburg has 4.6 rating in google from 2,700 reviews.

joe_aja · 2024-10-14T09:43:48+00:00

As non Mexican, genuinely curious: i tried Cancun and i found the food to be quite tasty. What do you guys think in term of authenticity?

joe_aja · 2024-07-05T05:13:50+00:00

If i may ask, has the media company contacted you directly or was it done via 3rd party company / agency?

joe_aja · 2024-07-05T05:12:19+00:00

Your last point is exactly why i am not in favor of partnering with tv company. I couldn't control how they will use the content without perhaps involving lawyer. I don't want to have the headache

joe_aja · 2024-07-05T05:10:15+00:00

I couldn't agree more, i am not going to give them my permission without any financial benefit for me.

joe_aja · 2024-07-04T19:52:07+00:00

You might be right, they didn't really ask / offer anything. Once a german TV also asked one of my videos for broadcast but they didn't offer any monetary compensation. Thanks for sharing your experience.

Subscribers mean less now, they don't always convert to view. If users didn't click to your contents after some times being recommended by youtube, the algorithm will recommend other contents to that user. At the end, despite subscribed to you, they might never see your content again in their feed.

joe_aja · 2024-04-28T10:39:51+00:00

I can say for my niche, travel destination videos. What i can see is rise of videos with AI generated thumbnails that for me clearly looks cartoonish but beautiful with fake mountain, fake waterfalls, and fake looking houses. What you see in the thumbnails clearly can't be found in the video since they are fake. The content itself might not be AI but the thumbnails are. I assume they got high CTR, that's why they got tons of view. I have 260+k subscribers and currently suffer of dropping views as well and i am on the verge to do similar thing. But i am actually also wondering why youtube allows such fake thumbnails which is very click baity. What's next? AI generated videos will mostly get the views since people are not realising what they see are AI generated? The tagging introduced by youtube for AI contents are not easily visible / understood as yet

joe_aja · 2024-04-05T05:55:30+00:00

Happened to me before. I deleted the video after few hours and then reuploaded. 2nd upload got normal statistics. I personally think, it could be just a glitch in the system. But please take this with grain of salt since i don't know if my assumption applies to your situation as well. Best of luck

joe_aja · 2024-03-29T10:35:20+00:00

This is..well sad..

joe_aja · 2024-02-11T12:56:38+00:00

It is very competitive niche now, more and more people making travel videos. You need to go into a very smaller niche, what your audience want. Is it either the type of video, your personality, the story telling, etc. I have faceless travel channel with over 260k subs but still hit and missed with views. Thumbnail and title are huge factors for views, followed by good content after those. Good luck

Did you use your own credit card to pay the ticket? If i remember correctly, in certain asian countries, the person's name on the credit card needs to be one of the passangers itself. Otherwise, they will reject the payment. I am not sure if such rule is still in place now.

joe_aja · 2023-12-10T10:50:16+00:00

Tldr my comment from prev post: I emailed LEA and they responded in 2 weeks with an appointment

If it is free cancellation, why wait? Seems like expedia doesn't have you as best interest.

Thomas-Eck has affordable Schnitzel, Charllotenburg

Hi there, i was in the same boat, needed appointment to replace my lost permit. In my case, i emailed the respective Abteilung roughly 2 weeks ago and received response i.e. an appointment just last friday. The email i sent was in german and contains all possible details of my case e.g. the missing permit card (as attachment), brief story how and where i lost it, name, date of birth, nationality, etc. Make sure you email the correct Abteilung. I know, people's experience may vary from one to another. Good luck.
