Germany received more than 200,000 requests for asylum in 2014, with the country taking in nearly 800,000 migrants. The number is expected to be even more this year.

Speaking to citizens in a conference on the quality of life in Germany on Monday, the Chancellor Angela Merkel said she would like to work for a culture that would be more welcoming towards refugees.

No worries — for instance, I live in Poland (not Polish, my wife is) and Poles are culturally closer to Italians or even Asians more than they are to north Germans or Scandanavians or English — family is important as is academic achievement
