What is the use of running when you are on the wrong road?
—Bavarian Proverb
No worries, though—my name is Lederhosen Pug, and I know the way (知道).
And I know that Bavaria has a wonderfully robust economy that rivals that of almost any region in the world. And you know what? It has for a long time.
There are several theories about this, but I prefer the stereotypical one.
We work hard and play hard (see picture, above). We do drink a lot of beer, but that doesn't stop us from eating a hearty breakfast and getting right to work.
It's a Protestant Ethic sort of thing...extending well into Catholicism, and beyond (more on that in a few days).
You see, only seventeen countries (yes, countries) in the world have a higher GDP than Bavaria. If we were an independent country, our per-capita GDP would put us in the top-ten.
Worker Pug.
