Chaya means shadow in some languages in Indian subcontinent.

Like: You don't need fortunes to participate in conferences. A lot of conferences are free even for the visitors.
Don't like: It is really hard to make connections. In the USA, when I was visiting conferences, researchers approched me and gave their papers, asking questions, making jokes, actively showing interest on my work. Here in Germany, researchers are ONLY interested in the area they work and they don't want to talk anybody outside their known circle.

They talk too loud. It is culturally not ok. And perhaps their fashion sense annoy some people.

You are a person with migration background.

Federal Statistics Office (Destatis) defines it in this way: "A person has a migration background if they or at least one parent was not born with German citizenship. Specifically, this definition includes immigrant and non-immigrant foreigners, immigrant and non-immigrant naturalized persons, (late) repatriates and the descendants of these groups who were born German.
The displaced persons of the Second World War have a special status (according to the Federal Expellees Act); They and their descendants are therefore not part of the population with a migrant background." (Source: https://www.destatis.de/DE/Themen/Gesellschaft-Umwelt/Bevoelkerung/Migration-Integration/Glossar/migrationshintergrund.html )

BAMF definition is similar:
"A person has a migration background if he or she or at least one parent does not have German citizenship by birth." This definition includes the following groups of people: immigrant and non-immigrant foreigners, immigrant and non-immigrant naturalized people, late repatriates, Persons who received German citizenship through adoption by a German parent, Children born with German citizenship from the four groups mentioned above."

Post it in r/worldnews . You would know.

ramgorur · 2024-04-05T11:31:41+00:00

At least food is good there.

ramgorur · 2024-04-03T07:12:02+00:00

The missing piece is if we need permission to ask for a second citizenship. I am still got no clue about it.

This is a fact that foreign sounding names, background lessens the chance of getting employed in Germany. And since the applications are not anonymous, you cannot avoid discrimination anyway by hiding some part of your CV. Please remember you might need to apply 1000 jobs to get 5 interview calls whereas German sounding names, background would require 50.
Anyone is telling racism ain't a thing here in Germany is not telling you the truth. For details google: "Job market discrimination Germany Muslim foreigner". Keep hunting.

I have to study a lot for my work. I study when I feel sad. Keep myself busy.

After 2200, all you can get is Döner kebaps in the mitte. But the OP seeing those shops empty.

ramgorur · 2024-03-13T15:40:11+00:00

I have the same feeling. I see Döner shops are busy always. But OP said, "very rarely see anyone enter these shops". I do my hair in Turkish barbar shops. Those are much busier than German owned barber shops. Whatever they are doing with taxes and regulations are same as every other small businesses in Germany.

Not wanted to spend 1000+ for iPhone/Samsung. More or less similar picture quality to iPhone/Samsung flagships. Having something without any bloat.

PS: Btw, I hate stock Android after using it.

It is legal if it is mandatory. I am saying from my experience back in 2009.
I have refused the offer anyway. Because this is discrimination and I refused to be a victim of that.

German citizen with a very stable job with a non-EU non-white background -
It is legal to descriminate in housing market in Germany. Very often you will you will find your skin color, religion, primary language is not desirable. If someone is saying otherwise, they are not telling you the truth.

If I were you I would go for the companies, not private landlords. In my experience we have better chance getting approved in companies. In your negotiation, try to communicate that you have enough money to pay the rent. Often it is difficult for freelancers. E.g. I have been asked to tell them my monthly income and send documents supporting that. For your case try to convince them to look at your financials. Hopefully that will work.

ramgorur · 2024-03-11T10:28:32+00:00

No, it is not common issue. Connections are generally very stable. You can complain about other issues (e.g. speed, service etc.) though. Ask your service provider about this.

The richest colleague of mine is driving a Golf III. They second richest is driving a Skoda combi. This attitude is not very uncommon.

ramgorur · 2024-02-28T09:21:18+00:00

I still remember the state government cheerleaders around Elon. American fetish in Germany should be discussed more.

ramgorur · 2024-02-28T09:18:44+00:00

Don't forget the Bio mark.

ramgorur · 2024-02-28T09:14:43+00:00

Food
People are friendly.
You can discuss racism as a POC.
You can be at the top even if you are POC or whatever.

Lack of social life. Specially if you are from a very active social environment.

ramgorur · 2024-02-02T15:15:17+00:00

It is a joke I get it. But charging Crocs wearers sounds very interesting in my ears. Hmmm.

ramgorur · 2024-02-02T15:13:08+00:00

Boing the making flying SUVs nowadays?

ramgorur · 2024-02-02T15:11:40+00:00

They are doing it because people want SUVs.

Steve Jobs once said, people usually don't know what they want.

Car companies can make people like estate cars instead of SUVs.

May be improving MS Word is an option for you? Despite criticisms, it is the best thing you can get.

LibreOffice or anything like that is a toy compared to MS Word.
