I thought in Poland they are called: ‘‘Nalešniki’’? So now I’m confused.

Actually, I KNOW in Poland these are called ‘‘Nalešniki’’ because I used to eat them in pancake restaurants called ‘‘Nalešnikarne’’… the most notable for me being ‘‘Nalešnikarna Fanaberia’’ in ‘‘Svietojanska’’ (St. John’s) street in Gdinya.

Sorry if I didn’t write ‘‘Nalešniki’’ 100% correcu, but… I use slavic phonetics, so…

That is actually for the whole Yugoslavian area. To pronounce this correctly in english, one would have to write it like this: ‘‘Pallachincka’’ (singular) or ‘‘Pallachincke’’ (plural)… and greetings to all ‘‘Palačinke’’ lovers (had to scroll quite a while to find the comment, but I knew there had to be one…good job). :D

LOL :D

Does it not mean Portuguese-Brasilian (Portuguese)?

And it is a Google translate add-on… or am I wrong?

In Germany, it is possible to ‘‘make a deposit’’ with the bank, so the landlord gets only the confirmation (Bürgschaft). Furthermore, it is also a thing to pay that deposit in rates (installments), not to burden the new tennant immediatelly.

I think it works a lot like insurance: you pay a smidge every month, but you also get no money back at the end, so… not really a deposit. However, it does satisfy the landlord and the deposit is legally provided, so… to give up one or two coffee’s every month (for a couple of years) is worth it at the rough beginnings.

For comparisson, you pay some 20 € monthly instead of 3500 € on hands of the landlord. You are moving, you are already burdened with the costs and expenses, so instead of having a financial blow on top of all the misery, you simply walk into the bank, make ‘‘Bürgschaft’’ (depost confirmation), agree to pay 20 € monthly, beginning from next month… and you exhale. It is a practical guarantee that the bank wil cover your deposit.

You give that ‘‘Bürgschaft’’ (deposit confirmation) to your landlord and all is good. If your landlord later, turns out to be an a…hole, he has to claim the deposit with the bank. If you contest landlords claims (bank will 100% contact you in that case), then it is a direct war between him/her and the bank… and good luck with that. To you it is all the same anyway, as you pay (paid) monthly installment (rate).

If there are no disputes and you are moving out earlier, then you can simply cancel the ‘‘Bürgschaft’’ contract (based on canceled rent agreement) and you don’t have to pay anymore.

The downside is - no money back.

It is not really a hype thing here, but I’ve done it and it worked OK; (no disputes though).

I still play this a lot… and it is wonderful every time. 😊

This is underrated comment. XD

I literally did not buy/straightout refused to buy new Golf because of this crap. It does not get simpler than that: other producer got my money, VW group did not. Period.

Volkswagen should be forbidden to produce anything. There were even touch-SLIDE commands on the steering wheel. God only knows how many lives were lost in accidents, because someone ‘‘touched’’ something and switched something off or on. Horrible.

I find this to be rather healthy sacrifice attitude. You pay a few cents more, but the world gets that one micron more normal than it was a second ago. Works for me.

Haven’t bought almost anything from Amazon in decades. No subscriptions or fire sticks either. I think Jeff Bezos got like 13 $ from me. Ever. Period.

There have always been better or just as good deals elsewhere (i.e. eBay). And I think that people do not realize that more than 50% of offered stuff can be obtained CHEAPER when bought directly from the seller/producer.

Just write an eMail and… off you go.
