Schadenfreude: pleasure derived from the misfortunes of others (Merriam Webster online) Now I don't know if the original designers of the modern day Deutsch porcelain throne are still alive, but I'm willing to bet that there is a healthy amount of Schadenfreude going on amongst existing whitegoods distributors…

The strangest place you've ever slept
Well, that's not far from where I slept once, same altitude (2135 m) - Călţun. By then it looked a bit better anyway and there were even military blankets. But we froze to the bones. I also slept in a window of a ruin of a medieval castle in France once. Not so special by day, but it was really scary by night:…

Buying a house / flat.
There is no right and wrong answer. And the two year thing is utter bullshit - even for the UK. Buying a house/apartment is just a bet on the future in terms of asset portfolio management. First differences: Germany vs UK 1. The costs of buying a house is higher in Germany: tax, estate agents, legal fees is the maybe…

The quality of food in Germany
Even the wonderful little markets, and local friendly grocery stores (the ones that SmallTownBoy loves to bang on about in an almost misty-eyed romantic fashion) ship alot of their produce in from abroad, not just in winter, but throughout the year.

Teenager dies, family finds out on Facebook
Facebook does an incredible job of connecting people all around the world and allowing you to find out what's happening with loved ones in a way that just wasn't possible only a couple of years ago.

Malta - tourist tips
I'd say it's kid-friendly. One of our group was 10 months old, and she and her parents had a great time. Obviously, as a self-catering accommodation, there were no planned activities for kids or anything. They did supply a portable crib at no charge. This particular villa had a kiddie section to the pool (you…
