Observations from Germany Part 1.
By dad2twins on Sep 30, 2007 in Did I ask for your advice?, Random thoughts..., Warnings
Well I have been in Germany for almost a week and I have made some simple observations that I want to share.
- Boy these people love to eat meat! Specifically pork. It’s cheaper than steak and they eat a lot of it.
- You will be invited to BBQ’s even if it is snowing outside. Oh, and you will eat outside even if it is freezing. I know this from last night’s dinner. It didn’t snow, but it was COLD!
- I dare you to get the checkout lady at the grocery store to smile at you. In fact, I will give you a Euro if you can.
- Everyone knows everyone else in a small town. If you are not from here you will get lot’s of people staring at you.
- If you like pork, you are in heaven.
- If you like eating outside in cold weather, you are in heaven.
Sorry, no pictures to post yet. We are leaving my brother-in-laws house tomorrow and heading towards Berlin. It may be days before I can post more observations or any pictures, but I promise I will.
Oh, and can the U.S. not bomb Iran until I get back to the U.S. with my Family? It is all the newspapers over here that we are preparing to do something. Jeez, give a guy a break.
No tag for this post.
For the checkout lady, try farting next time you’re in line.

Mmm, pork! “It’s what’s for dinner.” Or was that the ad for beef?? I forget. It’s late, I’m sick, and I can’t make heads or tails of anything bc of my Nyquil. Have a blast in Berlin, and hurry back before Bush goes blasting his mojo all over another country!!!

I agree with #1. When I lived there for a summer we had so much meat I think I’m still digesting it…and that was in 1992.
