von Florida nach Bayern by heza
Hello Everyone, If you asked me 10 years ago if I thought I would move to Germany to learn a new language and study thermodynamics at a Germany University, I'd say no way. I only studied Spanish for 2 years and I was think of Cuba or South America ...
hello Heza I have moved to Germany too and felt kind of the same. I would never have thought i would be living here either. But like you I moved here with my partner. I am still struggling through the language and trying to make friends but ... Read More
Dinner hours by Katie
I have a simple question: What time do you all eat dinner - the evening meal? I was just in the U.S. and the television ads would have me believe that the ideal is to walk in the door (home from work), go directly to the table and eat. When I ...

Hello everyone. I joined a Yahoo Group for those of us more than a little discontented with US politics lately (http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Escape_America/). Someone suggested Argentina as being a bit more like Europe (say, Germany) but without ...

The four-day week challenge by Julien
An article I enjoyed reading: the four-day week challenge What do you think about it? Is it an utopy, an interresting point of view, a nonsense?
Nice idea but I don't think it would really work in the real world. I have never been self-employed my my boyfriend was for a long time before we moved to Germany. It was hard enough stopping customers calling at the weekend and at all hours of the ... Read More
