Episode The E-Scooterpocalypse & Feeling Dumb in Germany
There are a lot of people—expats and Germans alike—who are not pleased about the e-scooter situation in big cities since it became legal for them to share bicycle paths and roads. E-scooter riders are apparently fast, reckless, and they just leave them parked anywhere and everywhere. But surely it can't be that bad? I decided to ask around in forums to get a feeling for the zeitgeist at the moment, and it turns out most people are, in fact, annoyed. Very annoyed.
I also discuss how communicating in German with Germans can leave you feeling like they're not experiencing the real "you" (as well as maybe a little stupid).
Plus: I announce the winners of the copies of "From the Bürgeramt to the Bedroom" books I was giving away. Visit the episode blog: https://expatlifegermany.de/10
