Chinese guy living and working in Germany. Sharing real daily life, work stuff, and the differences I notice over time. No filter, no performance โ just record.
Itโs the weekend, so letโs talk about something else, a lighter topic. Iโd really be interested in your thoughts. After seeing this chart, I completely stopped drinking spirits and switched to wine only. The positive impact of moderate wine intake is quite well known, but I didnโt expect it to be so significant.
The slightly lower mortality risk among drinkers than non-drinkers, except heavy spirits drinkers, is probably driven by other factors, like moderate drinkers being more social, better educated, or eating better food, whatever.
What do you think, folks? Does this make sense to you?
Germany's industrial power isn't just in Berlin, Munich or Frankfurt.
It's scattered across hundreds of towns most people have never heard of.
These are Germany's Hidden Champions.
Highly specialized companies that quietly dominate global markets.
Many are family-owned and deeply rooted in their communities.
Germany didn't just build industrial giants.
It built an entire ecosystem of them. ๐ฉ๐ช
This is eye-opening. Itโs really hard for Americans to grasp how poor Europeans are. 83% of Spaniards donโt make โฌ3,000 a month gross. The average salary is roughly โฌ2,000.
Europe once led the world in innovation, science, and engineering. Todayโs Europe is throttled by bureaucracy, regulations, overtaxation, and a left redistribution mindset. Has Europe permanently lost its ambition and accepted becoming a poor open-air museum with good wine and cheese for wealthy Americans and Asians?
