German politics. While in San
German politics. While in San Diego I was talking to a few people about what goes on in German politics - and we were comparing scandals. Well Germany has a new one - bonus miles! That's right. Several German politicians have had to resign from their various positions because of Lufthansa Miles and More. You see they collected the bonus miles on business trips and then used them privately - which is streng verboten! Most of the revelations are coming from Bild newspaper and seem to be aimed in a certain political direction. Did I say there was an election coming up in September? Having a UK passport means I can't vote here - but I can still gaze in awe. As if there weren't enough real problems...
