Cityliner,

Prices over here in the mean time close to the prices in Germany.
Veg. might be a bit cheaper if you buy local stuff.
The thing that frustrates me the most is that most of the vegetable stuff has no flavor. Don't know why.
Ooh yeah : meat. Forget your bratwurst. Pork is so expensive over here. I think 50% more than in Germany.

Gas still cheap compared to EU-Land (controlled by government).
Most cars cheaper over here ( there is no VAT, so that is the difference I think).
And... there is no such thing as Lidl, Aldi or Metro over here. NO COMPETITION on prices. At times frustrating.

But I understand your reasoning. If you're flying cityline and you did not pass LH DLR test, coming here might be the only chance of getting heavy time. If you did pass it then you must be joking that you are considering coming over here. (I do know the conditions at LH).

Not so many Germans here with EK (a lot more at EY). Don't know why. With the dollar woes I must conclude they are very clever....
