It's for the better I hope, even though I would not ever want to go back to Europe and try myself in a high-energy business environment, re-adjusting back will be so much more painful...

I was thinking along the same as LIL too but didn't want to say it in case anyone thought I was take a 'pop' at the german people.
That good old german efficiency and it's something I admire too about your race, you make damn good beer too
But I must admit that I have seen plenty of aggression in certain situations similar to what LIL mentioned, restaruants + impatience being the classic example.
I was also shocked on my first visit to los as both hotels I stayed in had some germans that were not satisfied with something or other and were banging their fists on the reception counter and shouting a lot, this happened in 2 hotels, bangkok and patong and is something I'm not so used to seeing.
The poor staff were cowering and I was too
But one thing I often hear from people around me is this ..'you want a good hotel' ?
'Look where the germans are staying'
