On this photo you can see a beautiful footbridge for pedestrians and cyclists in Copenhagen, Danmark. With its location right next to office buildings, for me this multifunctional bridge stands for the work-life balance of the Danes. Each time we stopped by, people were jogging along or taking a break on one of the benches. At the back (the orange spot) you can also see a little „workout to go“ facility. With the help of an app one can open a box containing a variety of fitness equipment. Unbelievable in my opinion to have such a great and free service in Germany; not only because of the digitization, but also I ask myself: „How long would this box including the content stay undamaged in a German city?“

During my semester abroad in New Zealand, it was a must to watch a rugby game with my newfound New Zealand friends. The „All Blacks“ are one of the best rugby teams in the world and therefore the game against the French national team „Le XV de France“ was on a very high level. A quick briefing before the game was enough – everything else became more or less clear to me as the game progressed. In any case, I hadn’t been promised too much: in this stadium there was an unbelievably strong bond among the fans. While in a German soccer stadium, people usually complain about their team’s mistakes, here they were happy about tactically clever decisions and regretted unsuccessful approaches with a huge cheering for the next one to succeed!!
