The European Championship 2024 is about to begin – what better time to share fun facts about different cultures and countries than now? ⚽ Germany and Scotland play the opening match – let’s start there: Both countries have a rich and varied history and share beautiful landscapes and a love of soccer. Of course they also have their own distinct festivals and traditions: Germany 🇩🇪: Oktoberfest: the world's largest folk festival takes place in Munich. It attracts millions of visitors who want to experience German culture, beer and traditional Bavarian dress such as lederhosen and dirndls. 🎡👗 Beer culture: Germany has a strong beer tradition with over 1,300 breweries and more than 5,000 different types of beer. In 2023, the average beer consumption in Germany was around 91.6 liters per capita. 🍻 Sunday rest: In Germany, it is forbidden by law to mow the lawn or hang the washing on Sundays. So, if you need a really quiet day, move to Germany! 😴 Scotland 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿: Highland Games: These traditional events include competitions such as log throwing, hammer throwing and rope pulling. They are an important part of Scottish culture and take place annually all over the country. 🔨 Whisky: Scotland is famous for its whisky. There are over 120 active distilleries and the whisky trails in regions such as Speyside are very popular with tourists. 🥃 Kilts in everyday life: It is not uncommon for Scottish men to wear their kilts on formal occasions.

Food, transportation issues hang over 2024-Paris Games — French daily The Organizing Committee also stated that they have increased the volume and portions of food needed to nourish the participating athletes PARIS, July 29/ The organizers of the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris are aware of the athletes' complaints about problems with transportation and food and are working to resolve the issues, the press office of the 2024-Paris Organizing Committee announced to French daily Le Parisien on Monday. "The organizers assure that they are doing their utmost to improve the punctuality of transportation serving the Olympic Games," the press office told the daily. "A significant amount of staff has been mobilized in order to provide better bus service and to support athletes." "Moreover, an additional fleet of motor vehicles and buses have been organized as well," according to the organizers. The Organizing Committee also stated that they have increased the volume and portions of food needed to nourish the participating athletes. "Some of the foodstuffs, for instance eggs and grilled meat, are very popular among athletes, so we increased the quantity of this food," the organizers continued. "For example, the portion of grilled meat is now 900 grams [31.7 ounces] per athlete per day." Athletes participating in the Games previously complained repeatedly about insufficient food and that some foods were unavailable at the Olympic Village. For instance, members of the German national field hockey team called the food offered at the Olympic Village a disaster, while athletes from the British national team opted to eat at their team’s headquarters after an extra cook was invited for this purpose. Athletes from various countries also voiced their dissatisfaction over delays with transportation, as well as trips to reach sports facilities from their places of accommodation taking way too long. As an example, six swimmers from the South Korean national team decided to leave the Olympic Village, saying its location was too far away from the swimming facility in Paris that hosts the Olympic competitions. According to the swimmers, they had to spend almost two hours instead of the previously promised 45 minutes to get to the sports swimming facility, so they decided to move from the Olympic Village to a hotel, which is located just a five-minute walk from their sports facility. The 2024 Summer Olympic Games are hosted by the French capital of Paris between July 26 and August 11. #business #finance #financialservices
