schestowitzI've been checking all sorts of flights with the German airlines, starting beginning of November. These flights are cheap considering the distance and if I can do my work remotely, then before actually applying to any job there (haven't applied for any yet) it might be worth checking for oneself what life is like there, even if just for a period of one month.
