I always feel living in even normal appartments is a bit like living in cages (which of course I did a lot). When travelling a lot, they are great because you don't have to care about much. But an acre of land or so could always provid

I often get the sense that people value land away from the cities not high enough. Sure I understand why people move to metropols, it is a bit like a gold rush. But from some idealistic point, not thinking about money, I feel that the &quot

Thanks for sharing the article. German is my mother language - and I came to appreciate it as a beautiful language. It has not the natural beauty of Italian, it is more how you can go from sounding harsh to sounding soft, where you not onl

We stepped out of the plane in New York and soon my Iranian wife called her mother. "Mom, the roads are about as bad as in Tehran!". Recently, we were in Tehran again: they had invested heavily in the maintenance of their infrast

See the price point again... compared to the other engines. This is not priced to sell, this is priced to showcase.

Sharing your Opinion. If price is low, then a lower range is ok, too. It is just that for the price of the Smart you could get a real car (Renault ZOE, which in in my opinion has the same revolutionary traits as the Teslas) with large elect

Sure. I would happily pay my 7-10k for it, but not 20-25.

This year marks the 20th anniversary of the Toyota Prius. Yet, German manufacturers have no competing product to offer: cars with electric components are those at the high end of the price list, totally overpriced. And when you ask the sale

I also think that in all the 4 languages I speak, I exhibit a slightly different personality, as you usually not only learn to speak in a language, but also how to behave in another culture.

Let's hope we can keep the pace. Currently, I have a good feeling for the remaining EU.

Ok, not joking now. What Britain and USA are currently doing is giving up power. They have so much internal conflicts that somehow people feel getting on their own will help them. But giving up power rarely made a nation larger and stronger

What you currently see, and I find it dramatic: the anglo-saxon world is in decline. Canada, Ireland, Australia and New Zealand might be alive and kicking, but they represent only a minority of people in the anglo-saxon world. This decline

And then they'll buy back at horrendous prices when the Price goes up again? Seems like shortsighted people do this. At least they could play some tremendous video games in the mean time ;)

Yet it is interesting that it is not 20 years or death penality. Sounds like an offer to talk.

The Iran traveling expert in me says: we can't tell the truth from this article. Let's say: the threat of US spies is real for Iran as too much of its history has somehow been staged or influenced by the British or the Americans.

All those new quarters you mentioned are damn expensive... I also talked to the vendors of those mixed-use-skyscrapers and If you want to invest less than about 800.000 for a 3-bedroom-appartment, they have nothing for you. Prices are flyin

Munich is more expensive. But Frankfurt's housing prices are rising dramatically recently. My wife and I are currently looking at houses (to buy, we currently rent one...) in the Taunus-mountains (about 10 kilometers away from the luxu

Frankfurter here :) Nice to see us on the good side of news more often recently. Frankfurt, compared to the big capitals of the world, is rather small: about 700.000 reside within the city limits. Yet, the metropolitan area is much larger.

Greetings from Europe where we have er neutrality. Good luck to my American friends with voting for a sane government in 3 years. Maybe there are some remainings of the country you could have been.

By the way I know there are those treaty-trader visas that would have allowed us to open/buy a business in the US for a reasonable amount of money. But as it offers no way to a greencard, it does not make sense for us. Imagine operatin

You should not deal with censorshipping countries. Period. That's a dead end road. If you are Chinese - fight for your natural rights. If you are a foreigner: let them alone and try to do business with countries that provide more freed

Relative to the average income, Switzerland has rather unexpensive rents. Of course, in absolute terms, cost of living might still might make your runway on the same budget shorter compared to Berlin.
