The dogs don’t have bagels on their tails . – rough translation.
A balkan man went to Germany for work and when he left the airport he saw money on the streets, but he refused to take it because in his own words “I ain’t going to work for those westerners from the first day!”
Greeks
Ahhh. Glorious early 30s
No, we think the streets are so clean and sterile that the dirt evaporates before it falls to the ground.
According to DIN-61137_DE_123, the street line should be closer to the edge by 32 mm than on the picture, thus, it is fake!
Inaccurate. It’s actually 100 Euro bills.
Tell that to the refugees entering Europe by the millions.
In Russia, I heard a story that at New Year Italians throw out of the windows their old furniture.
It’s been so long since I last saw cash that it took a while before I realised that those aren’t flyers…
streets in germany are some of the worst ive ever driven on lmao. do they even fund them? pothole-hell.
Still better than Hungarian Monopoly money
I guess it’s complementary to how Germans see the Balkans
First you have to pay Kirchensteuer ⛪️
Why meme? I just threw a couple thousand Euro on the street as we do in Germany. Purse gets too heavy otherwise.
I thought they are made from gold? Disappointed.
Oh it’s almost like no country in the world is perfect and all have their problems but some have more problems than others and bigger problems than others omg who woulda thought
I wouldn’t consider myself an expert on Balkan countries, but I’m fairly certain that this is utter bullshit.
There are pretty big communities of people with family ties to the Balkans here (both immigrants and their children). They should have a fairly realistic idea of german street decoration fashion.
I recently had a wonderful chat with a Czech guy who moved to Scotland in 2007 (same year I moved to England, now in Scotland). When he first arrived as a fairly young but skilled carpenter he could find work but not any that paid well enough to make it worth his time here. So he considered going back to Plzen and just build his life up there. But he met a girl though and a couple of years he was married and they expected a kid. So he stayed. Went to the local college to learn about electricity and qualified as an electrician.
He didn’t stay for the roads paved in gold, he stayed because he fell in love. He (rightly, in my opinion) reckons his life is pretty much exactly what it would have been had he stayed in Plzen. The location doesn’t matter, it’s what you do in that location to make things work. Money is such a driver for bad decisions.
“In London the streets are paved with gold”
It actually does, it’s not bills tho but Pfandflaschen. Still money tho, just with extra steps
Here in America, as Polish people say, money grows on trees. I have yet to see a tree like that. Maybe I was not properly introduced to America. 🙂
German here: Most of our streets are still decorated with gold coins. Yes, bank notes are more modern, and you can see them in some places. But most Germans prefer the historic look.
It used to be like this, in 1923 tho
Balkan sure….more like somewhere south of Balkan
This is stupid. No they don’t.
Accurate, the Germans do indeed still use cash, in the year of our Lord 2024. Norwegian streets have been lined with debit cards since 1849.
That used to be a thing back in the early 1930s.
But that is literally how it is, at least in Berlin. Go on any street, either empty bottles (money) or a box with free stuff (use or go to a flee market and sell it).
Edit: not to mention the new BER airport, horrible buuut has money on the ground.
Well moving to Germany getting free money and new build homes support that – but yeah “there are no pull factors”
not just balkan people
Uhm, actually, that’s a picture of the streets in Norway.
In Germany, I would get for the exact same job like 6k EUR /m as a software engineer, if I would have been born there. My wage is like 2k in Hungary, I’m working full remote tho
Im german and i can confirm this is Not true on our streets lay Gold Not just some Bills
