  • Some of my favorites are:

    “Bist du deppert”

    “Bist du gscheit”

    In Austrian German, both are expressions of astonishment.

    The fun aspects are: while they have nearly the same usage, the literal meanings of these expressions are the opposites of each other (in English “are you crazy” and “are you smart”) and depending on context they can adopt all kinds of subtle additional meanings.












  • You can’t have it all.

    For example, there are countries that honor human rights very good, 100 times better than Usa for example, and everybody is like a king there. But where everybody is a king, there are no servants. Everybody earns average, with healthcare included, but only basic, and nobody gets rich. Appartement, not house. You have to be organized. You have to clean up yourself etc. and nobody looks after you.

    For example, there are countries where you can be rich, and feel special, and have a nice house with several poor servants who take care of all your shit. But you can’t be trans there, and only bad guys are rich there, and you can’t be chronically ill or special needs, and maybe you can’t even originate from Usa.

    And then there are countries where you really don’t want to go.

    I recommend to get some of your issues solved and become stronger and then think again about moving.
