Nice move from China and Canada. Hope the EU will do something similar.

What 'place' are we actually talking about here?

That's the general problem for everyone who is not from US here on Lemmy: Everybody from US assumes that everybody knows we are talking about US. I would never say that "the ideal life is being born in 1947" and I was wondering why anyone would say that. That's right after World War 2. Must have been a crazy time.

Fun facts about Germany: No fun in Germany. Get back to work!

However, German humour is very special. Me, as a German, I love it.

Nice!

Where are the boobies?

A better example might be "home" and "some", where only one letter is different, but the pronounciation is completely different. There are many words like these. English doesn't make sense at all.

To me, ICE is a high-speed train. I mean, I could look it up, check what it means in US. But at this point, I am not interested enough.

Firstly, you should think about the area you want to move to. Accordingly, you may need to learn languages. In the UK, the Nordic countries and Germany, you can get by well with English. In France, however, French is usually a must.

There are a few US-Americans working here in Luxembourg (mainly in banking and IT). English is often sufficient for professional purposes here. Privately, at least one other language is important (French, German or Luxembourgish). In a public school, children learn all three languages. There are a number of immigrants here who no longer understand their children.

All in all, it is still possible. Take a look around the job portals and simply apply.

Is this a cultural thing? I have never sent any thank you e-mail just to say thank you after an interview. Only if we agreed that I should send them some more information after an interview I'd start this mail by saying 'Thank you for the interview. As discussed, bla bla bla...'.

Careful. Canvas is way more than a tracking pixel.
