Remarks by President Donald Tusk at the press conference following the EU-Japan summit in Tokyo

[Götterdämmerung]

Our local beer, very light, as you have tasted before? Plus it's mixed with pineapple juice, so basically, soft drink! But I like it. The new supermarket is really far, but you just need to buy five tins of beer, then the metro ticket fare is saved! EVERYTHING IS SOOO CHEAP!

Yes, I have drank many different brands of Chinese beer, they are much lighter than German beer. I can in fact drink a few liters of Chinese beers without feeling much.

FYI, I don't have a beer belly. I'm more of a wine drinker.

We don't have this kind of maerketing scheems, but fortunately, 95% of my shopping is withing walking distance.

I try different shopping malls every weekend, watching movie and having dinner. Within walk distance, there are at least 3 gigantic ones, but isn't it boring buying stuff in the same place? I just bought a 10yuan coupon for a grand meal worth 200yuan for three in a new shopping mall for tomorrow. I spent almost one hour to choose from more than a hundred restaurant....

I'm old school and love my organically grown neighbourhood. The house I live in is over 130 years old, so are most houses in my neighbourhood. I love it when I go to the grocer, I know the owner, I know that they have top-notch quality, we exchange some chit-chat about life and the food we eat or the wine we drink. A few times a year the store owner would drive to either Italy, France or Spain to buy the products from the small manufacturer, all organic and of fantastic taste. Even the local products are bought fresh from the farms outside the city with impeccable quality and taste. Every single store has its specialty either from my region or from a specific country.

I dislike chain stores where all individualities are being killed, it doesn't matter whether I'm in Germany or in China or in Dubai, it's the same stuff without history, without unique culture, without character, It's vitually a none-place like an airport. You go there not to sojourn but to get away again.

You need trainings to drink a few liters of beer.

You must be kidding. There is zero empirical evidence in that article you sent. It is filled with insinuation, and zero proof. We've been through this before:

Those who oppose TTIP on the basis of standards are a superstitious lot. If we cannot overcome their religious dogma, I would rather not participate. We can continue to regulate based on empirical evidence, while Europeans chant "science, science" and regulate based on superstition.

If a thing is banned in 160 countries (ractopamine-mentioned under #3) then probably it is not superstition but just faulty American food standards (enforced by the bought and paid by the food lobby US agriculture secretary threatening the WHO to withhold funds if it doesn't remove a damning report on corn syrup iirc for example) as you will see later on in the video shared below. Just to what extents the food industry will go and has went since the 70's, around that time when farms were being integrated into large corporations.

At #4, you have request to fast track GMO on which extensive, independant testing has not been done yet. That also doesn't sound too good, call it superstition or not.....there's more, i could go on....

I want you to tell me explicitly, in your own words, what you think the implications of this are. If avian flu is spread by birds dropping excrement as they migrate, then... what, exactly? The scientists aren't sure this is how it's spread, and they are also not sure how the bird droppings get into the "tightly managed poultry houses."

How does this advance your assertion that European standards are superior to American standards, especially since Europe has also been struck by avian flu? Other than superstition, I mean.

My layman's logic says, that if a virus spread so fast and so aggresively, things probably ain't "tightly managed" at every end. For comparison :

On 6 November, German authorities reported an outbreak of H5N8 virus at a turkey-fattening plant in Mecklenburg–Western Pomerania in the northeast of the country. Around 5,000 birds were reported to be infected and 1,880 died, in a flock of some 30,000 birds. On 16 November, Dutch authorities also reported an outbreak of the virus near Utrecht, which killed 1,000 birds in a flock of some 150,000 layer and breeding hens.

Then on 17 November, the UK Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs reported an outbreak of H5 avian flu in a flock of 6,000 birds at a duck-breeding farm in northern England. Further testing has revealed that there, too, the strain was H5N8.

Europe's bird-flu outbreaks pose little risk to humans : Nature News & Comment

If you add all this up, it isn't even half a million (infected/killed), far below infact, wheras in the US just now 40 million were culled. Again, layman logic kicking in, saying the two events almost can't be comparable in scale.

Have you considered that your opposition to TTIP is emotional, based on the relentless propaganda you have been fed by the vested interests opposed to free trade in Europe, and not actually based on fact?

No. Take one hour of your time to watch this. Not some fringe loony TV, but MSM paragon BBC reporting on the machinations of US food industry from the start in the 70's. Is well worth it. If anything, it might compel you to change your diet.

Pineapple beer, 1yuan!

Try Radler of any beer producer. Lemonade and soft beer. Cyclist's drink!

As for the pic you quoted, i only recognized Oettinger. Well known in Europe, top selling brand in Germany.

Oettinger 1.2 euro one tin, cheap or expensive?

Standard more or less for buying in shops. Maybe a touch on the expensive side, beers from other breweries (less renowned) could be as low as 90 c€nts or lower, depending on supermarket. Although i wouldn't drink those. Generally don't even drink beer too, i'm more of a hard liqueur type man, when i drink (rarely).

Maybe because it is imported to China. Some other brands which you cannot figure out is buy 2 for 3. But I still prefer 1 yuan beer...Light, Chinese style. Once tried some beers in a German restaurant in Shanghai Expo, I was dizzy for hours being a volunteer.

Can I use toilet in the middle?

 

[Götterdämmerung]

Can I use toilet in the middle?

Once per hour.

BTW, Oettinger is a Bavarian brand, it's unknown outside of Southern Germany. As I said, we prefer our regional brands. There is one exception, we like weißbier (white beer) from Bavaria, because they are not brewed in the north.

Is Paulaner famous in Süddeutschland? Has some branches in Shanghai.

Paulaner is a well known brand, particularly outside of Germany. In Bavaria, it's of course a big brand, but here in the north, although known, but rarely drank.

Paulaner in Shanghai is a big rip off!

Too expensive? Yes, the most popular German restaurant. I have tried once, don't wanna try a second time. Too much meat

Too expensive. I would get a better dinner for half the price in Germany. On top of that, it's too folkloristic and too tacky.
