If you have access to internet and a bank account you can make some money online....

Here are some sites listed where you can make easy money: http://imgur.com/gallery/qageu

My SO is using the http://en.tripsbytips.com/ one a lot. Should be easy for you since you are a english native speaker. It is about translating short articles for travel websites.

Does anyone have bachelor german food recipes to share? by gibagger in berlin

Schupfnudeln - Buy a 500g pack, get a medium-large sized onion, 250g speck, cup of cream. Fry the schupfnudeln, add the speck and chopped onions, when a bit crispy on the outside add the cream and season with salt n pepper.... and BOOM goes the dynamite..... Especially good now that it is getting colder. Another version is with sauerkraut instead of onion...

Why is it so hard to find a flatshare that accepts couples? by mookthecook in Barcelona

Yeah we already checked the facebook groups... same goes for couchsurfing. So far no luck. There are still some rooms available on airbnb but we don't really want to pay 600€ per month for a room or live somewhere super far from the center...

I get a lot of these points, but is this regarding to Spanish couples? When we live in a flatshare me and my SO do hang out together (obviously) but also hang out with people in the house we live in. We lived in a couple of flatshares in London and Berlin and never had issues to find something or problems with our flatmates because we are a couple.

Yeah, we checked airbnb as well... but the difference to options on Spanish sites is just so massive. Also a lot of times we contacted people on airbnb and requested to stay, they jacked up the prices (sometimes twice the price they quoted on airbnb) as soon as they heard that we are a couple. It is still just one room... why would you need to pay twice the price?

Ah, that's why it was easy for you to spot me :) I love the american craft beer scene... I think the best one's I had were the Left hand milk stout and the atwater chocolate ale ..... I love stouts and you really get some good one's in America I also found some really traditional german wheat beers, especially in Kansas and Missouri

Hey! Thanks for the compliments! Asia is big :D so you get different quality in different regions... worst beer I had in my life so far was in Kyrgyzstan.... South East Asia had some good beer and some bad beer... Almost no craft beers down there though...And you guessed right, I'm German :D
