neahyo: I've actually been there before but that was 5 years ago ![]() Almost every black person lives in NRW lmao. That's the state with the highest percentage of black people. And I also don't know anything about bills. I don't pay them ![]() ![]() |

lovelygurl: It's actually cheaper to live in small cities. Only disadvantage is that not all supermarkets are here and it's still kinda developing. Kaufland just opened recently in my city. Afroshop is nonexistent ![]() |
Re: The Adventures Of A New UK Migrant by Nobody: 12:01pm On Dec 28, 2017 |
Jigba: We don't even have Kaufland or rossman ![]() ![]() ![]() The next city is 1 hour away with the train and they have almost everything, except forever 21, which I think is only in Berlin anyway. |
Re: The Adventures Of A New UK Migrant by Nobody: 12:05pm On Dec 28, 2017 |
lovelygurl: We have Rossmann and dm here. We don't have children's hospital, so we always drive to the next city. The city doesn't have Rathaus, so they have to come to ours. Even Google maps is nonexistent in the villages surrounding my city ![]() |

Jigba: ![]() ![]() We have a children's hospital and a Rathhaus lol. And I thought my ![]() But like you said, it's cheaper and way calmer. Sometime we forget to close the main door, nothing happens (actually most times ![]() One of the disadvantages is that police have more time and are not stressed. God knows how many times they've stopped me on my BICYCLE. I had to pay money the last time because I was riding without light ![]() It wasn't even that dark ![]() ![]() 6 Likes |

lovelygurl: Funny enough, blacks (ladies) are not friendly, immediately you say a simple "hi", I guess the next thing on their mind is "he is an immigrant in need of a residence card". Regarding the bills, I've been receiving mails to pay for TV and Radio which cost about 18€f but I don't own any of these appliances, is it normal? 1 Like |
Re: The Adventures Of A New UK Migrant by Nobody: 12:32pm On Dec 28, 2017 |
neahyo: You can't blame them. Blame the guys who caused it ![]() ![]() If you don't own them then I don't think you have to pay. Probably a scam. Sometimes we get those letters to but just ignore. You can also call the "Anbieter" to confirm |
Re: The Adventures Of A New UK Migrant by Nobody: 12:40pm On Dec 28, 2017 |
lovelygurl: You are right, they are always patrolling up and down. Though they've never stopped me I can't even ride bicycle for nothing ![]() Oops I really need to learn how to, I've tried many times but I just end up falling ![]() ![]() My bicycle is probably for decoration in our parking lot |
Re: The Adventures Of A New UK Migrant by Nobody: 12:43pm On Dec 28, 2017 |
neahyo: Please pay am o. Before it was only for those who have appliances but now everyone has to pay whether you have appliances or nothing. But like lovelgurll said, call them to confirm. We don't even listen to radio but we still pay the tax. Germany probably has the most rediculous tax ever. |

Jigba: Awww I had a tricycle in Nigeria and when we came here, I was able to pick up from there. Maybe your dad can teach you. The earlier the better. I tried to teach mum. I was the one who got hurt ![]() ![]() |

lovelygurl: Still they hiss or frown when you're seen with whites. Anyways, na their problem. By the way, I tried to inquire from them but my German is poor. The letter is from: "ARD ZDF Deutschlandradio Beitragsservice 50656 Köln ". A SEPA form is included in the letter and they expect me to fill in my account details (if only they knew Yoruba blood flows in my vein hence I'm over calculative), according to them my debt is now 87.50€ I'm a bit scared and sceptical of the mail because I would be leaving in few weeks and I don't want anything to stain my 100% record. I would be grateful if you could help me inquire from knowledgeable folks or organization. Thanks. |

neahyo: Maybe you should visit their website https://www.rundfunkbeitrag.de/kontakt/index_ger.html Or call them. The number is also on their website, just to be sure. You can also send an email but I think calling will be better, they shoukd also be able to speak English |
