#

but it also depends on where you study anyway

#

you should aim for apartments for about 300-600 per month, depending on location

fleet pelican Feb 1, 2018, 1:00 PM

#

That's for a bachelor's

#

Yes?

alpine hollow Feb 1, 2018, 1:00 PM

#

?

#

that's general prices for someone who is not earning money

#

depending on location

fleet pelican Feb 1, 2018, 1:00 PM

#

No

#

Aigh

#

Or a masters

#

That's for a 3 year uni course

#

Is that*

surreal ermine Feb 1, 2018, 1:14 PM

#

It only took me about a month to get accepted into a Studentenwohnheim thinking_cat

brisk lotus Feb 1, 2018, 1:15 PM

#

@surreal ermine which city

#

in Munich I'm still waiting and it's my 2nd semester

#

still have one semester to go

surreal ermine Feb 1, 2018, 1:15 PM

#

Bochum haha

brisk lotus Feb 1, 2018, 1:15 PM

#

oh 😅

surreal ermine Feb 1, 2018, 1:16 PM

#

That explains it doesn't it mmlol

brisk lotus Feb 1, 2018, 1:16 PM

#

When I get a place from the studentenwerk I'll pay half what I pay now -.-

#

yep haha

surreal ermine Feb 1, 2018, 1:16 PM

#

Isn't Munich hella expensive

brisk lotus Feb 1, 2018, 1:34 PM

#

it is super expensive and hard to find a place

#

the Studentenwerk is your only hope here

#

But it's kinda worth it

Is it possible to take Investigative Journalism in University in Germany?

#

I already tried to look for it on the internet many times but it's always inconclusive

#

Wait why am I orange

#

When you take >Getrole Level A you become orange

Does it work now?

#

Oh

#

Ohhh

#

:D

#

Okay now that this is out of the way

#

I'm considering going for engineering but I'm afraid it'll be too much of a mental strain on me so I'll take Investigative Journalism as well but idk if I can do that only in a training school

#

I'd like to take it in University as well for the sake of practicality, besides idek if with Abitur I can attend a training school

brisk lotus Feb 1, 2018, 2:30 PM

#

There's some difference between journalism and engineering, so you might wanna make up your mind 😄

#

What do you mean

#

oh yea

#

true

#

totally opposite

#

hehe

#

shoot

#

Same I believe

#

I mean whenever you wanna change uni

#

you have to get accepted

#

and after you enroll, you show your new uni the credits you already have

alpine hollow Feb 1, 2018, 3:03 PM

#

really big protip

#

unless you have no life

#

or two brains

#

don't do two majors

alpine hollow Feb 1, 2018, 4:11 PM

#

if you can split your body in half

#

sure do it

#

there's just no reason to do it

solemn bay Feb 1, 2018, 4:12 PM

#

Are double majors common in Germany?

alpine hollow Feb 1, 2018, 4:12 PM

#

no

#

do them after another

#

not at once then

silent pilot Feb 1, 2018, 4:13 PM

#

don't sleep then

alpine hollow Feb 1, 2018, 4:13 PM

#

if you wanna have an about 70 hours per week working schedule

#

sure

solemn bay Feb 1, 2018, 4:13 PM

#

The difficulty may depend on how good the specific uni does their double majors... You might want to look into that if you are going to do it.

alpine hollow Feb 1, 2018, 4:13 PM

#

no

#

i mean during studying

#

without getting any money

#

good luck pulling perfect grades with no sleep

#

then

brisk lotus Feb 1, 2018, 4:14 PM

#

going to work, ending your shift and going home isn't like taking care of several courses

#

once you're home after work, that's it. done. sleep.

alpine hollow Feb 1, 2018, 4:14 PM

#

yeah good luck with that

brisk lotus Feb 1, 2018, 4:15 PM

#

In order for you to achieve your full potential, it'd be a better idea to focus on one major. it's for your own good.

solemn bay Feb 1, 2018, 4:16 PM

#

Even one major is hard. 😦

alpine hollow Feb 1, 2018, 4:16 PM

#

yeah

#

how about you study one semester first

#

before deciding for two

silent pilot Feb 1, 2018, 4:16 PM

#

at least on my uni, there are several double-Bachelors for social sciences - dunno if that helps you

brisk lotus Feb 1, 2018, 4:16 PM

#

@exotic barn you might be able to pull it off eventually after some hard work and sleepless nights. but no matter what, your results won't be as good.

alpine hollow Feb 1, 2018, 4:16 PM

#

see if you can even survive one semester

solemn bay Feb 1, 2018, 4:17 PM

#

My uni doesn't even allow double majors because it's not the best way, in their opinion, to do a degree.

#

Which isn't really a scientific example, but it's something?

#

That's up to you how your day would look like xD

alpine hollow Feb 1, 2018, 4:18 PM

#

you decide your own schedule

solemn bay Feb 1, 2018, 4:18 PM

#

There are a lot of other options though for adding stuff to degrees, depending on the uni.

alpine hollow Feb 1, 2018, 4:18 PM

#

also don't forget that you will have double the courses

#

and there will be conflicting schedules

solemn bay Feb 1, 2018, 4:18 PM

#

Like do German unis have diplomas and stuff too?

alpine hollow Feb 1, 2018, 4:18 PM

#

so you have to decide for one or the other

#

tbh the worst part will be that all the courses will conflict

#

and you will never be able to visit all of them

solemn bay Feb 1, 2018, 4:20 PM

#

I think part of deciding your studies ends up being that you have to learn to make sacrifices. No matter how much you want to study, you have to be selective.

#

And, also, most similar degrees will lead to the same place in the end.

alpine hollow Feb 1, 2018, 4:21 PM

#

some stuff can technically work tho if they are closely related

#

if you do math/physics major for example, a lot of the maths stuff overlap

#

so you can save a bit of time

solemn bay Feb 1, 2018, 4:22 PM

#

Maths/other can work pretty often.

alpine hollow Feb 1, 2018, 4:22 PM

#

at least in bachelor

silent pilot Feb 1, 2018, 4:22 PM

#

at least here it is this way: you'll spend about 20-25 hours/week actually attending lectures and then the university expects you to do twice that amount at home in excercises or studying (depending on you and your degree, that is variable). So just going by that, you'll have a pretty busy week.

alpine hollow Feb 1, 2018, 4:23 PM

#

our uni expects us to do 30 credit points per semester and they estimate 30 hours spent per credit point

#

so you are expected to spend 900 hours each semester on uni alone

#

you have about 150 days per semester, let's say that

#

so you are already expected to spent 25% of all your time on uni

#

not calculating in travelling, food, sleeping or maybe a life

#

if you do two majors, you gonna need to do 60 credit points per semester

brisk lotus Feb 1, 2018, 4:24 PM

#

37,5 days out of the 150 as Selbststudium

alpine hollow Feb 1, 2018, 4:24 PM

#

so you already load up 50% of your whole life for uni alone

#

not withstanding travelling, food, sleeping or maybe a life

#

and also non-expected stuff like illness

compact slate Feb 1, 2018, 4:25 PM

#

in Israel we have some triple majors but it's rare

#

and really well put together

#

usually sciences

brisk lotus Feb 1, 2018, 4:26 PM

#

@compact slate triple ? got a link for that ? 😮

alpine hollow Feb 1, 2018, 4:27 PM

#

you are crazy

compact slate Feb 1, 2018, 4:27 PM

#

@brisk lotus Not sure if there's one in English

alpine hollow Feb 1, 2018, 4:27 PM

#

but go for it if you like

brisk lotus Feb 1, 2018, 4:27 PM

#

@exotic barn but not 100% of the 50% is what you like doing

#

specially in bachelor programs

#

many extras

#

then go for a triple

#

What? seriously

silent pilot Feb 1, 2018, 4:28 PM

#

what field do you want to study in?

brisk lotus Feb 1, 2018, 4:28 PM

#

Go for a triple.

silent pilot Feb 1, 2018, 4:28 PM

#

and?

alpine hollow Feb 1, 2018, 4:30 PM

#

there's a major in germany called technische informatik

#

that combines both

#

what people like to do

#

is finishing a bachelor in one first

#

and doing master's and bachelor's of the other major afterwards

#

and you don't know what you like to do yet

compact slate Feb 1, 2018, 4:32 PM

#

@brisk lotus Can't find in English

#

but nevertheless double majors are very common here

#

most are CS + Science(Bio, Phys, Chem)

alpine hollow Feb 1, 2018, 4:33 PM

#

tbh, i am not sure how the regulations for foreigners for doing double majors are

#

if they are even any

#

but you will see quickly if it's working out for you

compact slate Feb 1, 2018, 4:34 PM

#

How common is it for foreigners to study for B.A in germany?

silent pilot Feb 1, 2018, 4:36 PM

#

Bachelor of Arts?

#

It depends on the field of study

compact slate Feb 1, 2018, 4:36 PM

#

yeah

#

Like doing your B.A in germany

silent pilot Feb 1, 2018, 4:37 PM

#

Like in Chemistry, you can't do a B.A., only a B.Sc.

#

there are a lot of people from other countries at every uni

compact slate Feb 1, 2018, 4:37 PM

#

Computer Science for example

solemn bay Feb 1, 2018, 4:37 PM

#

Can you do a B.A. in Chemistry in other countries?

compact slate Feb 1, 2018, 4:38 PM

#

Like it's less a problem for me because I have a citizenship

brisk lotus Feb 1, 2018, 4:38 PM

#

@compact slate CS isn't B.A. ?

compact slate Feb 1, 2018, 4:38 PM

#

but still

#

@brisk lotus it isn't?

alpine hollow Feb 1, 2018, 4:38 PM

#

CS is B.Sc

#

🤔

compact slate Feb 1, 2018, 4:39 PM

#

oh

#

I mixed the terms

#

yeah B.Sc

#

we don't distinguish between them here

silent pilot Feb 1, 2018, 4:40 PM

#

it's only in name here too

compact slate Feb 1, 2018, 4:40 PM

#

we just say first/second degree

silent pilot Feb 1, 2018, 4:40 PM

#

i don't know of any degree that has both B.A. and B.Sc.

#

Ah

alpine hollow Feb 1, 2018, 4:40 PM

#

we just say Bachelor/Master

#

:o

silent pilot Feb 1, 2018, 4:40 PM

#

^ yeah

compact slate Feb 1, 2018, 4:40 PM

#

yeah

alpine hollow Feb 1, 2018, 4:40 PM

#

economics apparently can choose between getting B.A and B.Sc

#

not sure how it works there 🤔

compact slate Feb 1, 2018, 4:41 PM

#

my question was how common is it for foreigners to do their Bachelor in germany

silent pilot Feb 1, 2018, 4:41 PM

#

ah, i guess one is more theoretical/for doing research than the other

#

there are a lot of people from other countries doing their Bachelors here, Masters is more common i'd say, but still

brisk lotus Feb 1, 2018, 4:42 PM

#

@compact slate I'm doing my Bachelor in Germany

#

Just like thousands around the world

compact slate Feb 1, 2018, 4:42 PM

@brisk lotus in what?

brisk lotus Feb 1, 2018, 4:43 PM

brisk lotus Feb 1, 2018, 4:43 PM

@compact slate it's easy to convert it

#

compact slate Feb 1, 2018, 4:43 PM

#

mine's a bit above average here

brisk lotus Feb 1, 2018, 4:43 PM

#

Your average can be up to 100

compact slate Feb 1, 2018, 4:43 PM

#

but it means nothing

brisk lotus Feb 1, 2018, 4:43 PM

#

in Germany it gets converted like 1.0 is the best

alpine hollow Feb 1, 2018, 4:44 PM

#

do you know what you wanna study in germany if at all?

brisk lotus Feb 1, 2018, 4:44 PM

What's your Bagrut's average ?

compact slate Feb 1, 2018, 4:44 PM

alpine hollow Feb 1, 2018, 4:44 PM

your grades don't really matter to much for sciences

compact slate Feb 1, 2018, 4:44 PM

#

92.5~

alpine hollow Feb 1, 2018, 4:44 PM

#

except biology and some weird chemistry stuff

brisk lotus Feb 1, 2018, 4:44 PM

That's enough to study anything in Germany, except for Medicine

compact slate Feb 1, 2018, 4:44 PM

brisk lotus Feb 1, 2018, 4:44 PM

compact slate Feb 1, 2018, 4:45 PM

#

🤔

silent pilot Feb 1, 2018, 4:45 PM

#

the averages for getting accepted are different in each uni and field, but if 92.5 is a percentage, you should be fine

compact slate Feb 1, 2018, 4:45 PM

#

92.5 is the avg of all the classes I took

alpine hollow Feb 1, 2018, 4:45 PM

#

your german certificate will be more important at this point then^^

brisk lotus Feb 1, 2018, 4:46 PM

Neil deGrasse is a smart man.

brisk lotus Feb 1, 2018, 5:25 PM

#

He has his moments..

compact slate Feb 1, 2018, 5:26 PM

#

I kinda agree

#

but when people ask they expect an answer

#

not a philosophical discussion

brisk lotus Feb 1, 2018, 5:27 PM

#

Did you get an answer why Agnostic isn't stupid as you claimed ?

compact slate Feb 1, 2018, 5:28 PM

#

no, it's just saying "I don't know"

brisk lotus Feb 1, 2018, 5:28 PM

#

It's saying, we don't have proof and I welcome any proof whether supports the idea of god or is against it.

#

But I don't go around tell people why god doesn't exist.

compact slate Feb 1, 2018, 5:29 PM

#

I have no problem with that

brisk lotus Feb 1, 2018, 5:29 PM

#

An Atheist will argue and tell you why there's no god

tight kelp Feb 1, 2018, 5:29 PM

#

epoché is quite an important concept, especially in daily life

compact slate Feb 1, 2018, 5:29 PM

#

I do think so too, but I don't think there is one so I just say I'm an atheist

#

you can be agnostic atheist and agnostic theist

#

both are agnostics

#

but you lean towards a certain end

brisk lotus Feb 1, 2018, 5:30 PM

#

But I don't believe if there isn't a god just as much as I don't know if there is. that's what Agnostic is.

#

a religious guy believes in the existence of god, an atheist believes the opposite.
I don't believe, I like to deal with actual proofs.

#

We don't have proofs of either.

compact slate Feb 1, 2018, 5:32 PM

#

can you prove then that the chair you sit on exists? can you prove your existence is real? can you prove I'm not a robot?
I mean I know how absurd these questions are but at the end of the day you simply can't

brisk lotus Feb 1, 2018, 5:32 PM

#

Yes I can. and I don't believe in a chair, I KNOW it's there. my conscious is aware of it and therefore it exists.

#

not the same with believing. you're not aware of it and you don't know it

#

You BELIEVE in it. believe that it does/doesn't exist.

#

so Atheists don't know that god doesn't exists. they think so. they believe so.

compact slate Feb 1, 2018, 5:34 PM

#

yeah

brisk lotus Feb 1, 2018, 5:34 PM

#

I, on the other hand, am waiting for proof to support either of the claims. and that is being Agnostic.

compact slate Feb 1, 2018, 5:34 PM

#

I mean at the end of the day it's basically lack of decisiveness in a way

gentle heron Feb 1, 2018, 5:35 PM

take your time

wary pivot Feb 3, 2018, 6:53 PM

#

i am back~

#

damn my intuition is good when it comes to time

#

My main question was about student life if I plan to study a bachelars at a german university

#

I understand the style of learning is more independant, but how is life there?

#

also, being an EU citizen should make things go smoothly right?

exotic barn Feb 3, 2018, 6:56 PM

#

yes it should

#

in regard to your former question, could you elaborate on what exactly you want to know?

#

"how is life there" is a bit broad

wary pivot Feb 3, 2018, 6:56 PM

#

stuff like

#

do colleges typically have sports clubs there? party life? Is social interaction easy etc.

fleet pelican Feb 3, 2018, 6:57 PM

#

that 1. depends a lot on the uni

#

is standard to varying degrees

#

absolutely everywhere

#

the best part about uni I'd say is that if there isnt anything for you, you're encouraged to make spmething yourself

#

the city where its situated I'd say is very much a factor too

exotic barn Feb 3, 2018, 6:59 PM

#

unis generally offer something

alpine hollow Feb 3, 2018, 6:59 PM

#

most unis should have some cooperation with sports stuff

does anybody here go to TUM/other german CS schools?

you typically get accepted anyway when you fulfil the requirements

fleet pelican Feb 3, 2018, 7:01 PM

#

typically

alpine hollow Feb 3, 2018, 7:01 PM

munich prices are probably the highest in germany

so if you don't have money... i wouldn't advise going there

wary pivot Feb 3, 2018, 7:01 PM

yeah, that's why I thought

It might be smarter to go elsewhere

even if I could afford it

undone gyro Feb 4, 2018, 11:30 AM

#

The university I'm looking to go to offers something like this

#

I can assume quite a few offer it but you'll have to look up on each university's site to see if they do

#

I think the universities will ask you to apply normally but then they let you have 2/3 semesters for learning German before becoming a proper degree student

#

If that makes sense

blazing harbor Feb 4, 2018, 12:10 PM

#

Yep, that's how it works in several places. However you often have to know at least basic German to be able to apply. Just check their websites for details, I personally only know about Uni Marburg who offers it (here you should have at least A2) and some who don't offer this like the Goethe-Universität Frankfurt you have to be at least B1 to be able to apply) or the Justus Liebig Universität Gießen (where you can apply with B2 but have to be at least C1 when you enroll). So yea it varies from uni to uni

brisk lotus Feb 4, 2018, 12:35 PM

#

I know Heidelberg offers that as well

#

among many others

#

and it's always possible to learn through a language school

#

which is what I did

#

it depends on how much you already know

From what I know, a lot of unis offer german courses but I thought that you apply for your program after the courses, not that they will hold a place for you. That’s why I’m asking about unis that actually wait till you finish the course.

You'll need to provide more details/context. But it's probably a course that teaches you the German/math/physics/chemistry that you need for uni if you don't know it or didn't take it in highschool.

Usually you need C1 for master degree. But there are english master programs.

You can reach C1 in 1,5 years.

If you're dedicated enough.

I learned with a native for 5 months every second day. Then I had another native teacher (once in a week) but at that moment I was learning kinda alone already. Then I spent a month in Germany what tbh didn't help me a lot. In October- December I was preparing for my exam with a native twice in a week.

when you learned alone, what res did you use?

exotic barn Feb 8, 2018, 10:29 AM

#

In #resources there is a link to my Google drive and you can find there all the books I used.

#

I watched a lot of tv shows in German without subtitles. That really helped me. My first series was Avatar. I chose it because I'd watched it like 5 times already and I knew the plot of every episode. Then I just rewatched series and movies.

Just do everything you need to do. If you want to achieve C1 in this short period of time you must work. Sleep less, walk faster, eat faster, don't go out, don't have fun, become a nerd.

it's in french, but if you use google you'll see the reqs

brisk lotus Feb 8, 2018, 4:05 PM

#

I don't have to google it

#

you don't have to provide B1 in Germany

#

I, alongside many many others have done it

#

You get a maximum of two years visa to learn the language

#

"preparing for uni" is the visa

#

after that they expect you to have a letter of admission

#

otherwise you're out

#

they don't need any language certificate

#

either a confirmation from a language school or uni, stating that you're studying

#

why would they care about your level of German ?

#

the visa is to allow you to do whatever you want, as long as you have proof that you're going to do it

true citrus Feb 8, 2018, 4:07 PM

#

what if it's different from one country to another? like I said, I'm not from the EU

brisk lotus Feb 8, 2018, 4:07 PM

true citrus Feb 8, 2018, 4:08 PM

where are you from ?

true citrus Feb 8, 2018, 4:08 PM

#

Morocco

brisk lotus Feb 8, 2018, 4:08 PM

#

the only difference is the preparation you might have to do

#

like Studienkolleg

#

in which case you show that you're attending Studienkolleg and learning the language

#

then after you're done, you show that you're enrolled at the uni

#

since you are enrolled it directly means you're above B1

true citrus Feb 8, 2018, 4:10 PM

#

So I still have to be B1, and since uni acceptance is a req for visa, doesn't that make the language an "indirect" req?

brisk lotus Feb 8, 2018, 4:17 PM

#

The language is a requirement to get into uni

#

It's not a requirement for the visa

#

that's all you need to know 🙂

#

So if you get into an English course at the uni, you can still get your visa even if you don't have B1 in German.

true citrus Feb 8, 2018, 4:19 PM

#

english course seems best, even if I do get a b1 or even B2, german for business and studies would still be hard

#

Btw how come it does matter which uni you study? Are all german unis really that good? :O

chilly narwhal Feb 10, 2018, 1:33 PM

#

Most German unis are really good, though afaik every uni is shit concernign organisation and stuff.

#

But so are most companies 🎵

#

Cause staff are lazy OR no one wants to pay a lot of money for organisational stuff

exotic barn Feb 10, 2018, 1:34 PM

#

Whoa that’s not very “german-like” :’D

chilly narwhal Feb 10, 2018, 1:34 PM

#

Yeah it isn't 😂

alpine hollow Feb 10, 2018, 1:34 PM

#

it's very german like

#

actually

#

public sector

#

it's normal

chilly narwhal Feb 10, 2018, 1:35 PM

#

well not stereotypical German-like

exotic barn Feb 10, 2018, 1:36 PM

#

How good do you think that german unis are compared to other eu countries? Or is it too hard to compare?

alpine hollow Feb 10, 2018, 1:36 PM

#

too hard to compare

#

in theory every uni is supposed to be the same

#

due to the bachelor/master system

exotic barn Feb 10, 2018, 1:38 PM

#

I feel like the more north you go, the higher quality but that’s just my feeling 🤔

alpine hollow Feb 10, 2018, 1:38 PM

#

in terms of what?

exotic barn Feb 10, 2018, 1:39 PM

#

Education?

alpine hollow Feb 10, 2018, 1:39 PM

#

why do you say that?

chilly narwhal Feb 10, 2018, 1:39 PM

#

🤔

#

Der Norden ist einfach dichter besiedelt

exotic barn Feb 10, 2018, 1:40 PM

#

Cuz scandinavia has this image of elite schools

alpine hollow Feb 10, 2018, 1:40 PM

#

which don't exist in germany

chilly narwhal Feb 10, 2018, 1:40 PM

#

Bayern ist das undichtest besidelte Bundesland Deutschlands

#

People call some unis elite unis, but like, it's not about the quality of the education

exotic barn Feb 10, 2018, 1:41 PM

#

I didn’t mean germany, i mean eu

chilly narwhal Feb 10, 2018, 1:41 PM

#

more about how much they contribute to science etc

#

research**

#

scientific research*

exotic barn Feb 10, 2018, 1:42 PM

#

Oh is it possible to check somewhere how much a uni contributes to science?

chilly narwhal Feb 10, 2018, 1:42 PM

#

Not that I know

#

Guess reading the news a lot

alpine hollow Feb 10, 2018, 1:43 PM

#

research funding :)

exotic barn Feb 10, 2018, 1:47 PM

#

I’m sorry if i offended someone with the remark about education in north

alpine hollow Feb 10, 2018, 2:00 PM

#

no worries, suzu

brisk lotus Feb 10, 2018, 2:01 PM

#

I believe this link has some info about funding and research in Germany https://ranking.zeit.de/che/de/

CHE Hochschulranking

CHE Hochschulranking 2017/18

#

based on uni

#

not sure how much of a difference it makes though

alpine hollow Feb 10, 2018, 2:01 PM

#

the unis themselves also publish their bilance every year somewhere

#

at least mine does that 🤔

#

not sure how complete it is tho

brisk lotus Feb 10, 2018, 2:04 PM

#

btw the informatik faculty in Augsburg is fancy

#

relatively new

#

the city sucks though

#

A startup offers almost only disadvantages compared to "conventional" companies. You have to work incredibly hard at the startups.

#

I would avoid such companies.

#

No works council, no co-determination and the bosses are mostly selfish guys in their mid-twenties.

tight kelp Feb 11, 2018, 9:36 PM

#

conversely, it's probably much easier to be hired there and it does count in your CV, so if you're entry level you might have better chances there rather than by bigger companies

lapis pike Feb 11, 2018, 9:44 PM

#

Do you live in Augsburg? @brisk lotus

livid cloud Feb 11, 2018, 9:45 PM

#

hey guys i am looking for someone with good german who can talk with me. also it would be really good if he has any experience in testdaf 😄

#

it would really help me out

brisk lotus Feb 11, 2018, 11:35 PM

#

@tight kelp exactly what I'm going through

#

@lapis pike I'm in Munich

#

@livid cloud do you have any questions regarding the testdaf ?

sleek abyss Feb 12, 2018, 1:42 AM

#

@livid cloud I can talk, but my German is not that good

#

And I do not know that test

undone gyro Feb 12, 2018, 7:45 AM

I walked past the big church in the first district Vienna and there was some kind of protest/demonstration about free Syria is that normal or? It was maybe 5/6pm

jade helm Feb 12, 2018, 7:51 AM

#

@undone gyro demonstrations in Viennas 1st district are not uncommon

undone gyro Feb 12, 2018, 7:51 AM

#

Thanks it was weird bc I never seen one before o.o

#

They were singing something and waving a bunch of flags around

alpine hollow Feb 12, 2018, 7:52 AM

#

oh, if you are staying for longer

jade helm Feb 12, 2018, 7:52 AM

#

about 50 to 100 per year, and some of them with bigger impact

alpine hollow Feb 12, 2018, 7:52 AM

#

demonstrations and strikings will be happening more often :)

jade helm Feb 12, 2018, 7:52 AM

#

like traffic blocks etc

#

oh yes

#

danke HC sadlol

undone gyro Feb 12, 2018, 7:53 AM

#

Striking?

alpine hollow Feb 12, 2018, 7:54 AM

#

yea, unionized strikes

undone gyro Feb 12, 2018, 7:55 AM

#

Like workers?

alpine hollow Feb 12, 2018, 7:55 AM

#

yep

#

might happen from time to time

#

the trains striking or some others

jade helm Feb 12, 2018, 7:56 AM

#

ich bin für Schwarzkapplerstreiks, das ganze Jahr!

#

😃

alpine hollow Feb 12, 2018, 7:58 AM

#

so if you are living in germany or austria, you should check the news regularly

#

you'll never know when the public transport or airports are striking

#

but you can find out early in advance

undone gyro Feb 12, 2018, 7:59 AM

#

Ooh ty solet and zwirschi

#

:D

tight kelp Feb 12, 2018, 9:36 AM

#

If you don't mind me asking, why do you find the concept of demonstrations or strikes so odd? Where are you from?

Well I live there and it is actually pretty great.@brisk lotus

brisk lotus Feb 12, 2018, 2:26 PM

#

@lapis pike you live in Augsburg ?

#

I don't like it

#

I lived there as well

#

for one semester

#

It felt like a poorer city in Germany

median badge Feb 12, 2018, 2:28 PM

#

you have been banned from r/Augsburg

lapis pike Feb 12, 2018, 2:30 PM

#

poorer city?

#

Where did you live? 😄

#

If you lived in Oberhausen, sure.

brisk lotus Feb 12, 2018, 2:30 PM

#

True

#

I agree

#

Oberhausen is worse

#

I lived in haunstetten

lapis pike Feb 12, 2018, 2:31 PM

#

I know all the great places since I live her for 24 years.

brisk lotus Feb 12, 2018, 2:31 PM

#

near the uni

lapis pike Feb 12, 2018, 2:31 PM

#

So my picture is quiet different.

brisk lotus Feb 12, 2018, 2:31 PM

#

obviously

#

4 months aren't enough, but you know compared to other places I lived in like Munich and Heidelberg

#

actually where I lived was a new neighborhood

#

am silbermannpark

#

so that wasn't bad

lapis pike Feb 12, 2018, 2:33 PM

#

Yeah, it's cool there.

brisk lotus Feb 12, 2018, 2:33 PM

#

maybe I just had a negative experience in the city

#

the Informatik faculty is new though

lapis pike Feb 12, 2018, 2:35 PM

#

Yeah, it's really cool.

#

I had some lectures there.

brisk lotus Feb 12, 2018, 2:37 PM

#

Have they finally finished the construction work in Königsplatz ?

lapis pike Feb 12, 2018, 2:37 PM

#

Yes, everything finished.

brisk lotus Feb 12, 2018, 2:38 PM

#

I'm gonna need a couple of pictures then xD

#

they were opening another place in Königsplatz I believe

#

Schwarze Kiste !!
