smoothvee: There are different types of bicycles here and they can cost as much as 2000 euros, these are electronic ones though. We got a neatly used mountain bicycle(it has about 10 gears) one from[sub][/sub] an app called shpock for 70 euros. And you could ride a bicycle without owing one for free with NextBike as long as you are a student and the bicycle is returned within an hour of renting it. |

Jigba:I have tried many times while I was still in Nigeria but I failed woefully. I never expected it tho Do not give up and when next you try, learn how to balance first and never look at the floor while riding else you will end up falling. Just keep trying and have an open mind. |

Braket:well too bad. in my case, I'm learning arabic, and sometimes i don't get to practice it. but then i made friends with this gurl from saudi, and I tell you, when we are talking, the words just come out from my mouth and I'd be like wow! so I'm this good. she understands some english so anytime i struggle with a word she says, she translates for me. but it doesn't have to be a girl, make a lot of guy friends, and i mean cool chill guys. even if they speak english, insist on speaking german with them, although you will flop most of the times, but that's how we all learn... from our mistakes. 11 Likes 1 Share |

Braket: Chaiii Bicycle we learned how to ride when I was 10yrs old lol u try no be small. As at then I can carry a full Gallon of water at the back and ride it.

I bet my brain could not carry how to ride a bicycle while I was young tho . Something foolish just happened. I have been experiencing a lot of theft here. One will think the almighty white skins do not steal The bicycle that I borrowed from a fellow Nigerian so that I could learn how to ride has been stolen between yesterday and today. The craziest thing is that I still saw the old bicycle yesterday evening when I was parking the bicycle I went out with. I think I need to mention that there has been a lot of petty stealing going on here. Some months ago, the head and rear lamps of all the bicycles in the parking lot were stolen. Even on my floor, there have been cases of missing Yoghurts, cheese, cooked foods and thankfully only my almost finished orange juice has been stolen and I am very sure deep down their heart, it is the Black man that is doing the stealing because I am the only coloured one on this floor 25 Likes 4 Shares

Braket: I'm sorry, I laughed out loud .... Hope your bicycle had lock?. Stealing of bicycle is really common here!. Also, how many roomates do you have?. Is there a possibility to keep your fruits in your room and only buy what you need at a time? |

Jigba: Yeah. The bicycle that was stolen had a lock on it There are 18 flatmates on my floor. 9 to the left and 9 to the right. Yes fruits can be stored in my room but then I need to keep them refrigerated. Sometimes I do not go out or end up at the store so it's pretty difficult buying what I need at a time. Plus the thief has made people to start dieting no ice cream or yogurt 16 Likes |

Jigba:We have discussed this several times someone even reported to the house mistress she said nothing she can do. Funny day was the girl they stole her cooked food. She knocked everyone's door that very day The thief hasn't stopped. He or she wants to die fast (which I came with rat poison ) just discovered one of my apples has been stolen and it got replaced with shey cheese abi sausage (I only it the rubbish when I am served outside). 7 Likes

Re: The Adventures Of A Village Scholar In Germany by Nobody: 3:45pm On Jun 19, 2018 |
Braket: Lol, I could imagine how she felt. Do you cook and store in fridge or the thief doesn't like Nigerian meals?. I wouldn't even keep anything edible in the kitchen anymore, cause I'm not sure if someone had tampered with it or not. If I were you, these remaining apples are going straight in the bin!.. It's cheese not sausage . Since the thief left cheese for you, I don't want to assume what he or she looks like! .. Your mistress should really do something about it. I'm sure every one of you is accusing each other secretly.. |
Re: The Adventures Of A Village Scholar In Germany by Braket: 4:04pm On Jun 19, 2018 |
Jigba:All my foods are Nigerian foods and they never for once touch either stew or ogbono not even beans. Recently I stopped eating those because I am tired of it and now my stuffs becomes missing. My only prayer is to be caught in the act. Mistress? She has nothing to do. The only solution is camera and it's not legal in the living room. I bet everyone will think it's mean because I have only complained of missing something once and as per the stereotyping nah. 6 Likes |

Bro , you mean, you live in a house with 18 rooms on a floor and the house mistress cannot arrange a locked refrigerator. You better start looking for something better, because once it is winter you won't like going to the supermarket always. 1 Like 2 Shares |

Braket: That person definitely doesn't like Nigerian meals or isn't used to it. If the person had stolen your beans, he/she would have regretted it, lol . I too get bored of Nigerian meals sometimes .. Like willy stated earlier, look for another place to stay. I know it's hard to find an apartment here but you should really try!. Also, try to keep your fruits in a tray in your room!. I don't really keep mine in the fridge and nothing happens to it.. 2 Likes |
Re: The Adventures Of A Village Scholar In Germany by Braket: 9:56pm On Jun 19, 2018 |
willy2000:Sure. Will be canceling my contract soon. But I think that idea of locking refrigerator sef will narrow down the search for the thief |
Re: The Adventures Of A Village Scholar In Germany by Braket: 10:01pm On Jun 19, 2018 |
Jigba: I won't even be sure the person hasn't tried my Nigerian food. But trust me he or she will regret it because my foods are spicy I am moving out of here very soon. What do you often cook apart from Nigerian dishes? I am tired of rice and bread every glorious day. In fact I am tired of chicken. Fellow housemates have mocked me tire each time I fry chicken (Chicken again or rice everyday? ) the fish skinny fishes in Lidl costs €4.99 for two. Henceforth no charity again. Every fruit stays in the room. 11 Likes |
Re: The Adventures Of A Village Scholar In Germany by Nobody: 10:30pm On Jun 19, 2018 |
Braket: I don't eat anything except Nigeria meals. Though I get bored sometimes but I don't really have any alternative. I'm even tired of chicken. Haven't eaten it in like two months. The chicken here isn't tasty, I'm sure you've noticed that. Buying fish is cheaper in Asian stores. There is an Asian store around the main station. I think, there are actually two..... I cook yam and also Irish potatoes. Spaghetti and plantain. Also Nigeria soups. Don't tell me you've only been eating rice .... 10 Likes 2 Shares |
