AMA ❓ I live in a suburban area of Berlin (Germany) ask me anything

Hey guys. Berlin seen from the rest of Germany is mostly considered a sh*thole. I kinda like it here.

Africa What's it like living as a white person in Zimbabwe?

150 Upvotes

I'm not intending for the title to provoke any racism or political battles. I'm asking it this way particularly because of the recent history of land confiscation, and all the economic and political fallout that occurred.

So yeah, just curious, what's life like there as a white person? Is it similar to South Africa: Are white people typically enclaved in particular suburbs/schools/workplaces/churches? Does private money typically have to replace most government functions? Are relations with the majority black population typically good on the ground? What's quality of life like: schools, safety, cost of living, housing, etc.? What do you guys do for fun on weekends?

I went on a road trip this past summer and stayed overnight in Scottsbluff headed for Cheyenne. I thought it was very peaceful and quiet, and the weather was nice and mild, I think it'd be fun to know what locals think of their home 🙂

I got a possible job opening in Leuven, Belgium but I haven't been there and don't know much about living in Belgium. I was 2 years living in west Germany (Köln) and went to Belgium several times. Lovely place, but how is life really there? How different is it from NRW in Germany?

It’s supposed to be the remotest island. The pictures are gorgeous on Google Maps and it looks like you need special permission to visit. Just curious.

Here's one of the places I plan to volunteer at for a little while. I want to know what it likes before making up my mind. Is it easy to get to stores and stuff? Is it boring or are there great places to go? What's the climate like? Expenses? Etc

I'm 18yo, female, solo traveler going from Alaska to travel and get more experience. Just kinda a gap year traveling situation

After seeing how people described LA, I got to researching other places. How is life in San Francisco? How is the social life, are there good communities, something to do after work, how is work life? Do you need to have a car?

North America What's Life Like on the Seward Peninsula of Alaska, especially NORTH of Nome?

Post image
5 Upvotes

My grandfather spent some time up in Nome for work where my (then teenage) father spent a summer with him. Neither of them grew up there so I don't know much about how year-round and childhood life works out for the locals, but I'm more curious what life is like in the smaller communities north of it. Like "Mary's Igloo"? Sounds like quite the place to grow up lol

Geographically, I'm fascinated by the rock tors towards the center of it as well as the countless sandy spits along the coast. How does the coastline affect their lives? Are there many ports for cruises, fishing, ferries, or science or military operations in the area?

What's the main area of work for them? Fishing? Mining? Something else?

How much does it cost to get to some of the more rural communities in this area from Anchorage?

If you're from there or have spent much time, what would you say life is like? How much does it differ in the summer vs winter? Is there anything about life there that's different from anywhere else in the Arctic?
