Another thing they do incredibly well is broadband. Basically every town here has had Gbps fibre optic for like a decade at this point.

So jealous. German internet infrastructure at this point is notorious for probably being among the absolute worst in Europe. Expensive, slow as shit and the coverage is horrible if you’re not in a city. Every time i go to Romania i get so angry at how much faster and cheaper the internet is there.

The sad thing is, that many Spanish people don’t recognize these achievements — they assume that Germany or the UK must be better.

Internalized inferiority complexes are awful. I see this same mentality all the time in Eastern Europe.
