@samir lol, pick any random 21-year old German and their English will be up to that level.

@SamRo He is obviously a student blowing all his savings on a once in a lifetime trip (as he should!).

This 2026 @LowyInstitute poll shows how Australians feel about other nations. Trumpian politics led to Aussies almost liking China as much as the US. The Kiwis remain the most beloved nation for Australians.

Migration is a complex system. Anyone pretending it can be fixed with a vague slogan and a big cut probably isn’t serious about solving the actual problems. In The New Daily I argue that migration reform is needed but any political leader deliberately avoiding to go into detail isn't really interested in solving problems: thenewdaily.com.au/opinion/2026/0…

France pulled off the fastest large-scale power sector decarbonisation in history. After the 1973 oil shock, it replaced a fossil-fuelled grid with nuclear power in only 15 years. Electricity is cheaper and cleaner than it is in Germany. The current challenge for France is to renew its ageing reactor fleet as quickly as it built the original one.

Is there a Messi-equivalent in another sport? Someone who’s so obviously the goat, who’s just so good, never washed and so clear of everyone else?? It’s just unbelievable watching him still play like this

Good basic history knowledge visualised. The earliest civilisations.

Will more air conditioning turn Europe into Singapore? 😉

Lee Kuan Yew: “Air conditioning was a most important invention for us, perhaps one of the signal inventions of history. It changed the nature of civilization by making development possible in the tropics. Without air conditioning you can work only in the cool early-morning hours or at dusk. The first thing I did upon becoming prime minister was to install air conditioners in buildings where the civil service worked. This was key to public efficiency."

England v Ghana is the World Cup’s only group-stage match where both countries' capitals sit right on the Prime Meridian
England has London, where the Prime Meridian was fixed. Ghana has Accra, the only other world capital to sit on the zero degree longitude line.
Stay tuned for more cutting-edge, geography-based World Cup analysis.

When was the last time European nations made it to the World Cup? I am actually missing Italy. Come back next time, please. Also, Finland needs a local Haaland type player to carry them to the World Cup!

Poland went from Iranian living standards to Japanese living standards in just a few decades. Not bad…
English
@VanPetio Oh it’s obviously not a like for like comparison but it shows how different the paths can be of two nations.
English
@simongerman600 This comparison is absolutely foolish..Iran is under economic sanctions and suffering embargo and unwanted wars from 1980 while Poland benefits from the European economic and financial support from 2004.

This is our plan for the coming days. The next game we’ll attend is Germany’s Round of 32 match in Boston on the 29th. Since we have 7 days to get there, we decided not to take the direct route and instead make a huge detour through Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and a few other states. Any recommendations for places or cities to visit along the way are very welcome!
