Welcome/Willkommen!
âUnderstanding Train Stationâ is a podcast hosted by us, Josh and Feli (aka Feli from Germany), in which we explore the intricacies and pitfalls of living between cultures. The title is derived from the German idiom âIch verstehe nur Bahnhofâ which literally translates to âI only understand train stationâ. It is used to express a lack of understanding - a common feeling when dealing with another culture and living abroad. Feli is a German living in the U.S. and Josh is probably the most âGermanizedâ American youâll meet. We share our personal experiences, opinions and tips about living abroad to help listeners grow from only âunderstanding train stationâ to becoming excited about different cultures. While the main focus is on cultural differences between Germany and the U.S., we frequently have guests from all over the world to broaden the conversation and share their experiences to see where there are similarities and interesting differences.
