When it comes to work-life balance there is a really big difference between
Germany and the U.S.
Hey everyone! I'm Dana and you're watching Wanted Adventure Living abroad.
In English we have two sayings: live to work and work to live.
And in America I always got the feeling that companies often expected people to live to work.
The job was often supposed to be their number one priority.
Everything else came second.
Sometimes the company even came right out and expressed this sentiment.
Whereas other times it was just sort of implied within the company culture.
Of course this is not the case in all companies.
But from my experience, it was like that in many places.
In Germany I would not say that people just work to live, because work is still an important
and valued part of a person's life here, but it just seems like work is more balanced with
life in Germany.
It's like, yes, I work and I put effort into my job and I care, but at the same time,
employers seem to recognize that it's important for the employee to be rested and healthy
and have free time to relax and recharge as well.
Speaking of relaxing and recharging, let's take a look at vacation.
Right out the gate, my first full-time job in Germany: boom, I was given 30 vacation
days, paid, per year.
Not only that but I was expected...or rather actually, kind of required to take them all.
I don't actually know what would have happened if I hadn't taken all my vacation days.
All I know is that around September, October I started getting reminded by my boss that
I hadn't taken all my vacation days yet, and I needed to do so soon.
In the U.S. there is no standard minimum amount of vacation days required by law.
Each company can give their employees however many they want.
Which does sometimes mean that some companies give no paid vacation days at all.
But at some companies you start with, maybe, 7 days of vacation per year and then after
a certain amount of time at that company you slowly get more and more days.
Or maybe at other companies, you get 14 days per year paid vacation and that never changes.
Or at some other companies you get more, you get less.
So, it really just varies in the U.S. from company to company.
However, just because you're given vacation days in the U.S., does not necessarily mean
that you are encouraged to take them.
I always noticed in the U.S. this underlying, sometimes unspoken, sometimes spoken, feeling
of like, you're a more "dedicated employee" the less of your vacation days that you took.
So it was sometimes like: oh, well, look at Paul.
He only took 5 vacation days last year, and you took all your vacation days.
Maybe if you were more like Paul, then you would have gotten a raise too.
And at some companies I remember that you could even cash your vacation days in that
you hadn't taken for money at the end of the year.
So another incentive not to actually take the days off.
But it's not just vacation days that's different.
It's being sick too.
In the U.S. I learned to feel bad about being sick.
Guilty for it.
Like as though I needed to rush back to work as quickly as possible, even if I wasn't
fully healthy yet, just to show the company that I was in fact a dedicated employee and
to stop from getting side-eye looks.
In Germany I could not believe it!
Not only did I not have to feel guilty about being sick.
If I went to work sick that is when I got the side-eye glances and was asked, like,
what are you doing here sick?
You're going to get the rest of the office sick, go home!
And what about when you're having a baby?
In Germany both mothers and fathers are provided by law paid time off after the birth of their
children and mothers are even given paid time off before the birth too.
In the U.S. there is no federal law mandating paid maternity leave, and this actually makes
the U.S. one of the very, very few countries in the world to offer no paid days off to
new mothers.
So my question for you is: How do you feel about work-life balance?
Is there anyone out there who prefers the way that it's done in the U.S.?
And people with children, what's the parental leave been like where you've lived?
Please let me know in the comments below.

What's the parental leave been like where you've lived?
Where you've...oh yeah, that was right.
There was this often...
It's like, yes, I put work...I put effort and into my work.
The job was often presented as supposed...
How was that?

Love What Matters - Duration: 3:25.
Robert was a librarian at the University of New Hampshire.
and he was a librarian there for 50 years.
Robert was a pretty frugal guy.
He never went out to eat.
He ate TV dinners.
He drove a 1992 Plymouth,
and he loved, he loved to read.
At one point, he decided to read all the books in the library.
He started with the books
that were written in the 1930s
and didn't stop until he had read 1,938 books.
He had read them in chronological order.
Robert died in 2015
and a couple of weeks after he died,
the University of New Hampshire received a check from his estate for
$4 million.
Nobody was expecting it.
Nobody thought that he was worth that kind of money.
And he left only one instruction.
He, he wanted $100,000 of the four million dollars
to go towards the library that he loved so much.
But he said the university was free to use the money,
the rest of the money, in whatever way that they wanted.
And so the university, knowing his great love of reading,
knowing his great love of books,
knowing his severe dislike for anything extravagant,
they decided to use the next million dollars of his estate
on a new scoreboard for the football stadium,
a football stadium that they had just spent $25 million renovating.
Now, the university didn't do anything wrong.
Other than the request for a $100,000
to go towards the library,
he really did say that they could use the money
in whatever way that they wanted.
But there are a lot of people who were very upset with the university
because they felt it was very obvious what Robert loved,
and it seems like what he loved
didn't really matter all that much to anyone.
This week we're going to go through a section of scripture in Luke chapter 16
that shows us very clearly that what you love
really does matter
and it matters to God.
In Luke chapter 16, Jesus told the story about two men,
a rich man and the guy named Lazarus.
And this is how it goes.
This is how it starts.
Two very different lives,
two very different descriptions of what people love during their lives.
And as we'll see during the week,
two very different outcomes for each of those lives.
But the story illustrates the principle that what you love really does matter.
It means something.
And that was the case, even for the person who's telling the story.
Well, what Jesus loved most in his life
was you.
It was you.
"Greater love has no one than this," he once told his disciples,
"that he lay down his life
for his friends."
He considered you his friend.
He loved you
and that made a difference in his life.
It made a difference in how he lived,
in who he spent time with,
in what he taught.
And also made a difference
in how he died,
and why he did.
He died
loving you.
What he loved made a difference in his life,
and what he loved also made a difference in your life.
And that difference is what we'll be talking about this week.
Jesus was excessively rich in his love for you.
Do you have a story about how someone in your life
was excessively rich in their love towards you or for someone else?
We'd love to hear about it and celebrate that love with you.
Leave it in the comments below
and I look forward to seeing you tomorrow.

Walpurgis Night - Duration: 7:13.
hello friends my name is Arith Härger and
why do you always do that?
what?
Saying your name, everybody knows that by now
I'm being polite, introducing myself first
bah! that's a waste of time . . . anyway what
what are you going to talk about today?
yes I was about to say that before you
interrupted me
humpf
well I'm going to talk about the Walpurgis night
ah!
there are probably hundreds of videos about that
yeah most likely
but I want to give my contribution to the subject
bah! rubbish!
and also a waste of time
you know what you should do?!
what?
including me in your videos
more often hehe heh
yeah well, yes yes I suppose I could
one of these days I will
give you a little surprise
hmm I have a bad feeling about that what are you up to?
heh, you will see hue hue hue
alright
right let's get started
Walpurgis night is a celebration that
takes place during the 30th of April
to the first of May and its origins date
back to the pagan fertility rites and
the coming of spring but with the
Christianization of the northern peoples
of Europe this celebration was combined
with a celebration of Valburg or Walburga
which is a celebration held in honor to
a nun with the same name
Walburga, she was a nun who lived in the
8th century and she was born in
England and at some point in her life
she moved to Germany where she founded a
católica convent
it is believed that
she cured the illnesses of local
residents therefore she was canonized by
the miracles she performed she soon
started to be worshipped in a similar
way the pagans worshipped spring and
since the two celebrations are very
close together on the time of these
celebrations are practically the same
the two celebrations
soon
were mixed together and create- and it was
created this Valburg or Walpurgis night
celebration in ancient pagan times this
festivity was often celebrated with
dancing and huge bonfires it was very
similar with the Halloween festivity
in a way that it has to do with
supernatural spirits of both ancestors
and gods but also the land spirits and
the bonfires in in this celebration are
a warm welcome to spring and to receive
the heat and to say farewell to the cold
and harsh winter times
this night also
represented the time when the boundaries
between our world and the world of the
spirits were a bit shaky much like
Halloween or Samhain, this was a time
where when it was possible to
communicate with the spirits and the
spirit world
during this time bonfires
were traditionally lit to keep away
malevolent spirits and those who might
do us harm so summarizing before the
coming or the introduction of
Christianity and the celebration of
Valburg this was a festivity to
celebrate the coming of spring and also
a time to begin a new cycle of farming
and herding
now you have to take in mind
that climate changes a lot and in
ancient times in northern Europe between
winter and spring there wasn't much much
difference it was just the melting of
the snow slowly and animals waking up
from hibernation so as you can see this
celebration is very close to summer so
that was exactly the time our ancestors
our northern ancestors will- would see
the changes in nature and so it was
closer to summer so it was a sort of
spring that they will start their
farming and
the cattle herds would go out there to
into the fields to graze so it's not
like in southern Europe where spring is
just spring and summer is just bloody hot
for instance our Norse ancestors
would not only lit bonfires to keep away
malevolent spirits but also to keep away
wild animals so that the livestock would
not get harmed they would also lit
bonfires to hurry up spring and to purify
nature and they would also mark this day
as the day their are cows their goats
well, their cattle herds would go out
there into the forest at the 1st of May
to begin their summer grazing
nowadays we can still see these pagan
celebrations somehow disguised in the
modern celebration of Walpurgis night in
Sweden for instance people still gather
around bonfires to to dance and to sing
songs to welcome spring people tidy up
their gardens and the leaves and the
branches are a good material to feed the
the bonfires and so are the Christmas
trees that some people keep at home or
keep somewhere to feed the fires at this
very night in Germany this holiday is
still celebrated by dressing in
customs playing pranks on people and
making very loud noises to keep evil at
bay some people still hang blessed
sprigs of foliage in houses and barns to
ward off evil spirits and there are even
those who still leave offerings of bread
spread with butter and honey - to whatever
it is out there that needs to be
appeased
so this harks back to the pagan origins
when people would leave offerings to the
gods and to the ancestors and when I
become a spirit I hope to be in in
Germany during this day because it
sounds delicious and
want to feast like a king
so that's it friends I hope you have enjoyed this
video and this is my little contribution

social media are down below at the

Simen i England - tough times (EPISODE 4 - norwegian and english subtitles) - Duration: 12:57.
So, this is not going great...
-What do you think of his first half? -Average.
-Did you expect more? -Yes.
About scoring goals... They learn this in England:
Hit the f***ing target.
F***ing hell, man!
Five matches and no goals.
Five matches and no goals in the ninth division...
It's at times like this you have to show your worth.
Do you just lie down and cry?
Or do you stand up and show them what kind of viking you are?
Hopefully he'll be scoring more goals.
There are days when I wonder why the hell I agreed to this.
Unlucky, Simen! It's coming, mate! It's coming!
Final preparations.
It's always exciting. I've got butterflies.
It's the kick-off soon.
Eriksen. He shoots... And scores!
With Harry Kane off pitch, the Dane of Tottenham assumes responsibility.
Pochettino's team keeps on winning.
How are you? Simen. Nice to meet you.
I have to tell you, I play for Guillem Balague's team Biggleswade Utd.
-Ah, yes? -Yeah.
-Who took the penalty..? -Oh, don't...
-Who took the penalty? -I did. I missed it.
He told me. He sent a text to me. "Ask him about the penalty."
-But you play professionally, no? -I did.
-Clap? -Yeah.
Mauricio Pochettino. So nice to see you.
I've got homework. Which is weird.
I've never been given homework by a coach before.
How to behave on the pitch...
With ball, without ball.
Strangely, Norwegians have been turning up at the matches.
What do you think of the level?
-Well... Interesting. -Yes. A lot of creativity.
And it seems you're allowed to go after the player, not the ball.
Congratulations, Antonio. A big win. It was a tough game.
Yeah. But we certainly won.
Full of surprises, this country.
We've got an away game against Hoddesdon.
We should be able to beat them. We're better.
And we beat them in my first match.
Terrible pitch. As usual. They haven't got good ones.
But... It's possible to score here.
Christian, our coach, has high professional standards.
It's not always easy to understand him. He talks a mile a minute.
Simen will attack, then second player arrives on the second line. Just do it.
A lot of movement in the last three. The last three being explosive. OK?
We've got Spanish coaches.
What's interesting with that is that we play completely different football
than other teams in our division.
We play very technical football with a lot of short passes.
We go out with passes from the rear instead of long balls from the keeper.
It's very ambitious. And it's risky football too.
Not least because the pitches only allow the exact opposite.
They like to play the Barcelona way. I don't think I'm a Barcelona player.
-And it's not a Barcelona pitch. -It's not a Barcelona pitch.
But they do very well, and I think they're very close.
I think this year, or in a couple of years,
you can slowly see them progress up the league.
The teams we face play horrible football.
No one is even trying to make three or four passes within the team.
It's all just booting, smacking, and kick and run all the time.
I'm positive I should've had a penalty in the first half.
Ref!
I got room and was about to shoot when someone pulled my shoulder...
I fall down.
Was it a penalty?
I don't think it was. I think Simen fell over.
F***ing ref.
I've been having negative thoughts about
what my fellow players, surroundings and the coaches think of me.
That I should score more goals.
-Close in on the thrower! -Too easy!
F***ing get out and help him! Well done, Charlie!
They get a very easy penalty.
I was looking right at it and didn't see anything.
Just a bit of shoving between two equal players.
Hey, let's go! Again, let's go!
And then I shoot far, far over.
A shot that was more of a danger to air traffic than to the keeper.
Aw, f***ing hell, man!
It was an ugly loss.
It was probably the worst game and experience so far.
We've got to grow the f*** up, some of us. Seriously.
We're out there, crying like f***ing babies,
getting rolled over by a sack of shit because we're not on our game.
Decisions go against us. The referee was shit. Both ways.
And we've let that turn into the biggest shower of shit I've seen.
And then of course Hoddesdon
had to pass by our locker room on the way to theirs.
So, because we sang very loudly when we beat them...
Are you honestly f***ing at it?
You're better than that!
You're f***ing better than that, you gobshite!
Boys, it was what we did at their place, and we can't take it.
We're winning and we're screaming our heads off.
We thought we were Billy- Big-Bollocks, and now we don't like it.
We all need to f***ing grow up.
They sucked, I sucked, the referee sucked.
Everything was shit.
It doesn't get much darker than this.
How are you?
Good? OK.
Jamie Carragher. It's so nice to have you here.
Thank you.
I'm a striker. Can you give me some tips on what to do..?
-Me? A defender? -Yeah, to trick defenders.
Who was your worst opponent?
The best opponent was Thierry Henry.
-So I should study him? -Yeah. Can you run? Very fast?
-Fast. -Are you physical?
-Quite. -Well, defenders don't like that.
-People who can run and... -Elbows and spinning around?
Get the defender before he gets you.
-Thank you so much. -Thank you.
-What are you doing? -Studying.
Carragher gave me homework.
I'm studying Thierry Henry.
I think he's the best Premier League striker ever.
If a striker starts to overthink a dry spell
it will continue.
The next time you put on that Biggleswade United shirt
you will be the best version of Simen Stamsø Møller you can be.
That's all you should be thinking about. Peace out!
It's the semi finals of the North Beds Charity Cup.
I never thought I'd be a part of that.
A Tuesday evening match against a team one division down.
There were a lot of spectators. About 400. That's really good.
My buddy Dave and I were in striker position.
I pass the ball to Charlie who volleys it in.
Dave secures the goal.
I think the 2-0 was because of him as well. I passed on to Charlie again.
And then... I always like to get in behind the defence.
That was a nice pass.
Simen!
Just there on the left the grass is quite good.
I'm glad I was able to show what I can do.
And after that first goal, I get a few more, of course.
Simen! Finally!
-Was that Simen? -Yeah.
So good! So good! So good!
We beat Baldock in the semi finals.
Next is the final match, which is also my last match in England.
I've never won anything at senior level before.
It would be nice if the first time was in England.

Ferrari 488 GTO would be fastest V8 car ever from Maranello - Duration: 3:29.
Ferrari 488 GTO would be fastest V8 car ever from Maranello
This is rumored to be the return of the storied GTO moniker.
It should surprise absolutely no one to learn that Ferrari may be cooking up an even hotter variant of the 488 GTB.
If a report from Autocar is true, the new car will resurrect the hallowed GTO moniker and pack more than 700 horsepower from its twin-turbocharged mid-mounted V8.
It would be the successor to the wild and wonderful Ferrari 458 Speciale, the swan song for the naturally aspirated V8 in Maranello. This will be the fourth time Ferrari has used the name GTO.
The first was in the 1960s on the 250 GTO and then again in the 1980s on the 288 GTO. Most recently, a more track-oriented variant of the 599 GTB was released as the 599 GTO.
Each of these cars eschewed most pretense of comfort and civility in the pursuit of power and performance. While they didnt carry the GTO moniker, the 430 Scuderia and the 458 Speciale were designed with a similar philosophy.
Since the standard 488 GTB already makes 661 horsepower, it doesnt seem like a stretch to up the boost and strengthen the internals to move the needle past 700.
Ferrari cant let the new 710-horsepower McLaren 720S have all of the fun. The 488 GTO should use lighter components and lose some interior trim and sound deadening to drop weight.
Autocar believes the new model will dip below 3,000 pounds, absolutely svelte for a car this size. The car should have better aero, a revised suspension, and higher performance wheels and tires.
For non-Ferrari comparison, think Porsche 911 GT3. Weve seen some spy shots of a new Ferrari recently, but at the time we thought this might be the rumored Dino.
Its unclear if thats still the case, but either way, look for something big from Ferrari sometime later this year.
