немец об особенностях жизни в Сибири: well, actually the difference is historically reasonable and also fits into the business environment over here (in Siberia).
over here itґs a little like an own planet. you watch local tv, or some stuff, but mostly itґs about russia or close countries.
читать дальшеbut the thing is, that worldґs financial markets really exists. CNN is running round the clock at home, and whenever something happens, I get to know it very quick.
over here it took me 4 days to discover that the private bank a friend works in, will be sold.
all those things like BMW and Mercedes... they exist! they are being built at home. Itґs just such a different mentality over here. the goals that people have in life are totally different. almost not comparable anymore.
and so, the understanding of the world differs in the same way!!
Over here I have the feeling itґs most important to learn languages, become a teacher and found a family.
Actually I havnґt found anyone in the whole time who did not want to become a teacher. I found some people from yukos, but everyone who was still studying was different...
itґs hard, cos thatґs the last job Iґd ever do! In germany you only become a teacher or something when you are not smart enough for business life. I mean real business...
historically there has never been real business over here as in the rest of the world, and somehow the state is still seen as the one to get employed by. In germany you are the biggest loser, if employed by the state... worse is, that all the people do not know that over here and furthermore they do not see industrie as important. thatґs why they all do not understand what I am doing over here..... they are all angry cos I didnґt learn russian etc. but I just donґt need it. most of them have never been anywhere else for a longer time, so they canґt think of any other reason for me to be here, except learning russian and becoming a teacher too....
