A priest, a rabbi, and a mortgage broker were all caught in a shipwreck. Sharks were soon circling around. The sharks eat the priest. The rabbi starts praying fervently, but to no avail, as the sharks eat him as well. The mortgage broker is really getting worried, as a shark is coming for him. But, instead, the shark puts him on its back, carries him to shore, and lets him off. The mortgage broker asks, “How come you didn’t eat me too ?”

And the shark replied, “Professional Courtesy!”

Youtube site is banned at my workplace and I wonder if there is any work around?

In my office(Germany), in this building, on my floor, there are 5 Americans working. I am not sure, if they are ranchers or if that figure speaks for anything. In my daughters Kindergarten, there are many American kids too.

About the work permit in Europe, it is easy to obtain, if one can find job. and finding job without native language skills is a challenging task. Best way to land here is to work for firms having operations in both continents and eventually request transfer.

Usually, I request my boss to approve flights on Fridays in both directions. Atleast that buys a weekend to recover. However, mere weekend is not enough. A study suggest, human body adjusts 1 hour of jet lag per day.
In fact, I returned today from Mountain Timezone to Central European timezone. I know, coming Monday in office, will be horrible again especially after 15.00. Sometimes I am embarassed.

Does anyone have tips for free business class upgrade? My boss is not generous enough to sponsor me a business class and economy class offers very limited space for a 11 hours of transatlantic journey.

There may be couple of factors.
1) Local taxation: The state taxes a lot to its citizens and business.
2) Labor costs: The cost of labor is one of the (if not the) highest in the world. In manufacturing industry, very high productivity of German workers compensate for high labor costs. It is likely that efficiency model of manufacturing industry; do not readily fit into a logistics company. And consequence is rise in unit delivery cost. On the contrary, very backbone of logistic industry is one of the (if not the) best in world. German infrastructure, notably its autobahns, airports and rail network, should more than compensate for high labor costs.

3) Regulated Market: Upon posing a question of volume discount / loyalty program to Hugendubel saleswoman here in Frankfurt, I got a reply, there is German regulation that forbids book being sold under certain amount and book prices are set by an authority.

Some nationalist idiots here also try to become more accepted by riding the anti-muslim wave. Dangerously following letal old propaganda habbits by just replacing word jew with muslim. They declare themselves as good friends of Israel. Of course their warm feelings are not returned by jewish community.
Western Germany is safe, but currently if you have a darker skin and go to eastern regions of this country, you might better ask for some security advice.

The bigger issue is, men in authority are living in denial that the problem exists. The mayor of town where the violance against foreigner took place, simply downplayed it.Yes, in western Germany, foreigners are (relative to its east) safe.
I wonder, why politicians are helpless(or unwilling) to tackle the problem which has THE darkest past in known human history.

Note to moderator: I am not sure if meaningless/meaningful boundry is crossed here. If yes,please delete it.

Some Germans gleefully brag.
"We exported sex to America and imported violence(gun-culture) from them." I,along with my american colleagues, chose to ignore from time to time.

Thanks all..
