My friend used to commute from Bristol, UK to Munich, DE. Wake up at 04:00 Monday, drive to Heathrow, fly to Munich airport, get a lift to work, in by 13:00. Then do it in reverse on Friday. It's no 6 hours a day, probably a bit better, but still seemed crazy to me... Not cheep either

I had an ex-colleague who did the same thing from Brussels to London. Not as crazy as it sounds - half-hour walk to the train station, 3 hours on the train, 20 mins walk to the office in London, and she had a 30-min commute over the week while staying in London, so a total of around 16hours/week spent commuting - less than if she'd had a 1 hour daily commute.
