Germany

[Hawk]

hell yes...go, no thought needed. Germany is a great place to visit, I'd go back in a heartbeat if I had the opportunity! Tell them you're Canadian if you really want to have a good time there!

Expedited passport is gonna cost you around $250 when it's all said and done.

That being said, $1000 for an all expenses paid trip to Germany the month before you go to work for the next 50 years seems like a fairly reasonable price to me.

I did do an expedited passport for my daughter and she received it in a week. I think they come from New Orleans.

[The Saltman]

on the us passport now website it ranges from 100-300 bux.

all depends on how fast you want it.

[PantherBrew]

Yeah I have checked that out.

So basically I would be a retard to pass up this opportunity?

[The Saltman]

if you pass it up you should prbably stop posting on this website.

oh and possibly kill yoself.

[Niner National]

I didn't even expedite my passport and I got it within a month. Obviously can't depend on that though if you actually NEED it within a month.

GO GO GO.

Once you start work you don't get many chances to do fun stuff like this.

I've got plenty of cash to go on vacation, but I just can't seem to get away.

Depends on where in Germany your brother is at.

European cities = the poo

European countrysides = poo

Again, still accepting donations. :p

Was in Deutschland for 6 weeks this summer, and it was an amazing experience all around. The Germans were very welcoming people and loved to speak English with me despite me responding in German to practice their language.

Traveling abroad even if its for a short time is a great way to expand your horizons and learn about other cultures. Personally I feel it is essential to becoming a well-rounded and generally informed individual. Some of the lessons I learned overseas in Europe this past summer will be with me for the rest of my life and I plan on going back and would love to work there if given the opportunity.

Another positive, the beer is some of the best in the world and the clubs are unlike anything you will experience in America.

I spent 6 years there - would love to go back.

do you know where you'll be and how much free time you'll have?

what kind of work do you do? i'm asking because my brother in law, a college professor, visited us in germany and was able to travel by train anywhere in europe for a ridiculous low price - like $10 a trip, no matter where he was going.

Check out your local hauptbahnhof (look for a sign with the letters DB) for discounts that aren't advertised. Almost all of them have specials that other stations won't have.
