in an effort

to further cross border cooperation gulliver, the economist's travel blog, has a few recommendations for doing business with berliners. my favorite:

"berliners are known for their schnauze and can be quick to ridicule anything they see as pompous. don’t be aghast at this acerbic wit, and tread carefully when responding."

and, as i can personally attest, contrary to german superstition failing to meet someone's eyes when clinking glasses upon a toast, though rude, need not result in seven years of bad sex....

I don't know... you may be tempting fate. Seven years is a long time.
