Hi bigbeerbelly!
Yes, I am German. Nürnberg is a very nice city. I was already there a couple of times during layovers. We had our hotel right in the middle of the city. I like the Christmas market there and it`s great for shopping!
I think ANA has a more difficult recruitment process, because their interview lasts a whole day and they have group disscussions and much more what JAL doesn`t have. So it`s probably easier to get a job with JAL. But that`s just a guess, I will see how the interview will go.
