Unprovoked attack!

Hi! Today for the first time in Germany I saw one of the weirdest thing! I was together with my friend rushing towards U-bahn in Hauptbahnhof, and while we walked on the left side of moving stairs and were careful to not disturb anyone, than out of nowhere I see my friend in front of me getting a powerful hit on his chest by one moron! He turned toward this weird man totally surprised only to be punched again in shoulder while the man shouted “Aufpassen” couple of times!

While my friend said nothing and was getting ready to return one on his face, I intervened and took him forward as nothing happened bcz we really needed to catch that train. In meantime we saw the bahn securities and he wanted to report the physical attack while this guy was right behind of us, but again I stopped him bcz If we lost anymore time we would lose the train connection and our booking! The whole day he was very off bcz of this incident as he rightfully says he got attacked and only bcz of our travel situation we couldn’t afford to manage it properly… I feel bad that I intervened twice and I’m in dilemma if i did good or harmed my friend!

Who ensures the safety and healthy environment in trains? Where and how to report smoking?

I’ve encountered a very unpleasant situation on a train where a very young boy was smoking just in front of me (e-cigarette) and acting arrogant when I asked him not to do it. I’ve been in these situations before and seen many people smoking right inside trains next to other passengers despite the fact that it’s prohibited. How does one tackle it? It’s a small train between two small towns somewhere between Augsburg and Ulm, so there are no staff here besides the train driver.

Unique smell in all ubahn stations

I don't know if anyone noticed, but al ubahn station in Munich has a unique smell.

It doesn't smell bad or something.

But just curious, what causes this unique smell? Other cities in Germany don't have it

Name of Ubahn station with music playing

I remember back in 2016; there was a U-Bahn station where they had constant music playing.

I think the music was either by Beethoven or Mozart.

I don't know if they still play the music. Does anyone remember the name of the station?

Thinking about moving to Munich

Hello everyone, I need suggestions. I am an immigrant in Germany. I came here 4 years back as an international student. It has been one year since I finished my masters degree and I'm unable to land a job..I have been living in Bonn for all that time. Now I'm extremely bored and I feel stuck. I am thinking about moving to Munich for a change. Does it sound like a dumb move given Munich is expensive and all I would get readily would be a job in some restaurants.

Thank you!!

Where to Watch Valencia vs. Real Madrid Game Tomorrow?

Hi everyone,

I’m looking for a bar or restaurant where I can watch the La Liga game between Valencia and Real Madrid tomorrow. Ideally, it’d be a place with a good atmosphere for football fans, and if they serve food or drinks, even better!

If you know of any good spots that regularly show La Liga games, especially in Munich, I’d really appreciate your recommendations. Thanks in advance!

War Jemand an Silvester (mit Hund) am Flughafen? Erfahrungen? Tipps?

Es gab den Post https://www.reddit.com/r/Munich/comments/1hocfq2/invitation_dogs_who_are_afraid_of_fireworks_on/

dass der Flughafen feuerwerkfreier Bereich ist und sich deswegen Hundebesitzer dorthin mit ihren Hunden "hinflüchten"

mit relativ vielen Reaktionen.

War Jemand da?

Wie war es?

Gibt es Tipps für nächstes Silvester?

"the world is a hearing aid" sign in a bar

Super long shot question but if anyone knows it I would be so excited. About 8-10 years ago I went to munich, I visited a bar where after entering you'd walk to your left, there were seats on the right with a mirrored wall. Opposing the seats on the wall were signs and posters, one of which was large and metallic and said something something "the world is a hearing aid".

Anyone got any clue what I'm talking about? If so, is the bar still there, is the sign still there?

Otherwise no biggie sorry for the silly question but it generated a cool memory with the friend I went all those years ago, and I'm visiting again these days and would love to find it if it still exists.

Have a good day and new year. Cheers

ELEMENTS Fitness Wellpass

Liebe Community, ich gehe normalerweise ins ELEMENTS Fitnesstudio in der Balanstraße mit Wellpass, aber ich kann es nicht mehr auf der Karte finden. Ähnliches Fitnessstudios von dem Franchise kann ich auch nicht finde . Leider habe ich vor kurzem erst dieses Band erwerben müssen, sodass dieser Umstand natürlich jetzt besonders ärgerlich ist. Hat jemand ein ähnliches Problem?

Advice on kitchen studio

Hi everyone!,

My partner and I have been trying to purchase a kitchen from IKEA (most precisely from the one in Brunnthal) for a while. We decided ourselves for a METOD kitchen for a cost of ca. 3500eur (without household appliances, as we would buy them separately). However, we ended up having quite a bad experience.

We visited the mentioned IKEA shop during Christmas break, in order to finish the kitchen and make the purchase. However, the IKEA employee wanted me to close the order of the kitchen, without having made a few modifications that we asked them to do, which were also required to made for the IKEA kitchen furniture in order to fit perfectly in our kitchen. In the own words of the IKEA employee; "it was strange that we had so many questions and requests about it, being it only a kitchen".

He proceeded to call his boss, who told us to either close the order of the kitchen right there or just leave. We of course left, as we felt extremely pressured to make a purchase of an unfinished product with which we knew that we would have problems with as soon as it would get delivered.

It also seems that we are not alone, as there are quite a few reviews in their google maps review page, mentioning the IKEA kitchen department of this shop being pushy, rude and making pressure on customers to purchase unfinished kitchens. It seems like that they do not provide any support later on to solve the issues that arise of this matter, once the kitchen is being mounted.

Do you guys would have in mind any recommendations of other kitchen studios in where we could order/configure a kitchen for our flat at a good price?

Did you have similar experiences with IKEA kitchen studios?

Baum stutzen lassen

Servus, das ist eine ziemliche Dulli-Frage und ich bin mir der Antwort auch schon relativ sicher aber ich wollte trotzdem mal nachfragen. Ich hab einen Baum vor dem Fenster, dessen Baumkrone mir gerade so den Blick auf die Frauenkirche versperrt. Der Baum steht nicht auf Privatgrund. Ist es möglich die Stadt zu bitten gegen einen bestimmten Betrag den Baum zu stutzen? Wahrscheinlich nicht, oder?😅
