Germans are master bread makers. I don't believe there's a country on the planet that can hold up to their standards.
Much like everybody else, they use flour mixes, which sucks. Bulgarians and turkish are better. Source: many of the big bakeries in Germany hire them and I know some. After all, a native german wouldn't like to work possibly under an illegal contract, be stuffed with 4 others in a rotten house and be paid tenner an hour, yes?
government is very amateur. Almost just as laughable as the American government, just in a different way, and for different reasons.
So America has any better protected free speech laws already in place and journalists are protected by it? I mean, is it already done instead of just huge polarisation of the public with tons of cash invested and nothing done essentially? Also, how is german media standart not better?
Working in Brussels later was like a total breath of fresh air. Loved the Belgians!
The belgians are equally stiff, boring bunch of many, very old people with the same dead expressions..Only instead of a big and strong country once, a has been, it's a small, expensive, irrelevant piece of land whose highlight is playing victim in a world war. Paying that much for a weekend of chocolate and beer with little else to offer outside staring at the ceiling and ugly fat women is just dumb.
The country upholding the EU's values of everything nice has pulled a blinder by falling for flemish nationalism permanently, only as much as it doesn't get international attention, nice.
I also don't think you have to endure 10 years of just saying hi to some weird guy just to catch his name in a low voice. And spend the rest of your life being nagged to death for the smallest thing he doesn't like that you do. Maybe it was you taking a look at your watch too often, and he mistook it as you trying to break early from his party where its the two of you and his post stamp collection.
Sports belgians are good at, other than "korfball" and "indoor cycling"? Nope.
I'm always reserved and quite hesitant when i'm travelling anywhere as a British person but everyone was really nice to me.
Hey, don't beat yourself up. As long as when I say I love Guinness you don't do what any other englishman has done: say it's not the best stout. Although I understand it has always been the patriotic duty of every englishman to say so. Ollie Cromwell said so to harass the Marquess of Ormonde before taking Ireland in 1649 (and imposing a ban on everybeer except Stella Artois), and so did Gary Lineker to Andy Townsend in frustartion over not scoring a second in Ireland's net in the '90 World Cup.
"Not the best beer!" shouted Lineker angrily. "Speculative?" replied Townsend, eventually cementing his career as a commentator on ITV.
Cheers from Bulgaria. And hope you don't hate ALL of us that much (hard not to).
glad that we French and German are so allied nowadays
In being such a failure to step up to Vladimir Pudding? Good luck with importing american gas, or trying to supply with your own instead of Russia's reserve and low prices.
