Understanding Train Station

Josh and Feli

80 episodes

1 week ago

In our podcast “Understanding Train Station”, we (Josh and Feli) explore the intricacies and pitfalls of living between cultures. The title is derived from the German idiom “Ich verstehe nur Bahnhof” which literally translates to “I only understand train station”. Similar to the English saying “It’s Greek to me”, it is used to express a lack of understanding which is an all too common feeling when dealing with another culture and living abroad. Feli (aka “Feli from Germany” on YouTube) is a German living in the U.S. and Josh is probably the most “Germanized” American you’ll ever meet.

▸Moving to a foreign country, even if just for an exchange semester, can be daunting and confusing. For many, it is the first time they are confronted with the complexities of dealing with foreign governments and applying for visas. While it all can seem really scary and almost insurmountable, we wanted to help provide a light at the end of the tunnel and share our experiences with immigrating and applying for the necessary permits and visas that allow us to live in the U.S. and Germany. Please keep in mind that we aren’t official advisors on this subject, but we hope you all can gain some inspiration and insights into how it all works. :) We really covered it all in today's episode: From what it’s like to have an interview at the consulate to being interrogated at the border after an unintentional overstay. We would love to read about your experiences and questions on the topic in the YouTube comments!
