1. ZDF (Channel 2, public TV) featured a documentary piece yesterday.....today's Bundeswehre (Army), and how recruitment goes. Worth watching.
As much as a anti-military sentiment does exist in Germany (they actually talk to people about this feeling).....the military goes on with recruitment and finds people who want the experience.
2. All this hype over FC Bayern's championship win, and firing of the manager (Oliver Kahn) is building up. I'd say there's a massive amount of anger building up within Kahn....he's not taking this in a pleasant way.
On soccer theatrics, I'd rate the present situation as a 'ten' (scale of 1-to-10).
3. Erdogan won the Sunday election in Turkey.
4. There is some massive upgrade planned for the Bahn (railway folks)....amounting to 88-billion Euro. Oddly, the Bahn folks will admit that the four-year plan has one problem....they currently only have half of the money. Best not to talk about where they expect the rest of the money to come from.
5. Some poll done....of Germans over 50 still working....one out of five want a change...either due to money or stress in the job.
