I was passing by the music section in a store the other day, I thought I was back in the nineties. If it is there, it is because it sells, and I guess it is sold to my millennials contemporaries. I hate nostalgia, I want new stuff and new m

Situation 2 is default in France, except on busy junctions. Its advantage is better throughput for both car and pedestrians. Funny thing is that situation 1 is now allowed for bicycle with the new M12 sign

I hate them for that. It's winter time now, so I have my car heater blower on all the time. Whenever I start smelling diesel in my car, a TDI engine is in front of me.

We are printing a photobook every year, giving copies to parents as Christmas gift. It retraces the event of the year It takes effort to choose photos and make the book, but it is pleasant to see ourselves quickly over the years

My breakfast consists a cup of coffee (no sugar) since my teens. I'm just not hungry in the morning. I eat a good breakfast only if I need to do an intense effort, or if I cannot control when I'm going to eat for lunch (business t

I speak both german and french, and I don't like being addressed with "Du" or "Tu", be it in letters, email or whatever. It is for me a lack of respect. In France the etiquette requires that you ask permission to us

Germany is a big user of the trick "lemme change the unit from €/kg to €/100g in this part of the shop", for example at the cheese counter, which is what the parent is saying. It was the same trick used in the UK. I beli

I don't see it adopting it myself, because that would also means pronouncing it differently. Anyway, good luck with qwerty keyboard. I'm using azerty, so it is not so painful.

I did places with 300k, 8k, 1k and 150 (industrial companies). Believe it or not, but the places I slacked the least was (obviously) the 150 employee company and the 300k! It was really well organised, you had no time to spare. I'm now

I don't get where you're going. Your initial take is that your ICE route in Germany was slow. Indeed because Germany has not a lot of dedicated high speed train track and it has a lot of stops. That is why the TGV example is broug

This is the old track, with normal train (around 130kmh). The TGV track is 406km and has just a few stops: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/LGV_Est

I understand that denigrating a competitor is a defense mechanism to remove your unease, but really I would not bet against the Chinese. They improved so much in the last three decades, taking advantage of western smugness, that the only qu

It is a pop culture thing, I really wonder when such misconceptions will end. German are striking as often and sometimes more than the French, and their train are very often late, meaning a high chance of missing your connection. When I ca
