1. German gov't says that if you are a ethnic Turk in Germany (either born here or holding a visa).....if you have relatives in the earthquake area of Turkey and want to bring them to Germany for a period of time.....the visa can be done in five work-days.
Yeah, I'm shocked they could wrap up in such a short period of time.
As for how many will take the relatives in? Anyone's guess. It wouldn't shock me if half-a-million Turks were to arrive in the next six weeks.
2. One odd aspect of the Berlin election.....if you take a district by district graphic map, it'll show all of the outer neighborhoods (the outer ring) with the CDU as the winner (meaning right-of-center political scene). The inner-ring? It's split....50-50, with the SPD or Greens as the primary winner.
The inner-city leaning more toward left-of-center? Apparently so.
3. I watched a N-TV business segment over Russia. The 'push'? Oil-wise, Russia is headed for trouble in finding customers and ways of moving significant oil around. They were left unprepared for the trouble they now face.
4. Interesting statistic talked about this weekend for Germany. By 2030, they expect a national shortage of 87,000 bus drivers. Some companies are calling for a radical amount of changes in the training program....to fill the vacancies expected.
