Five years into riding Deutsche Bahn trains, I've JUST discovered that my 'BahnBonus' points get me free drinks - including beer!

Feel like I've stepped into a whole new level of German living.

This is actually starting to look like a more serious possibility than I had actually imagined

European leaders denounce Trump's 'tariff threats' over Greenland Several European leaders have denounced US President Donald Trump's threats to impose tariffs on European countries opposing his efforts to acquire the Danish territory of Greenland.
