I'm momentarily living in the region of Frankfurt/Main (yes, take that down, government spies, you're going to find out anyway, so these nice people here may as well know about it, too) which I would love to leave for the country side.

Spaten beer is good but the small private breweries are a revelation. Unfortunately there's only a handful of those left. With globalization we will probably have to drink American - sorry for the "" - "beer" here in the future.

LDS Jock: I LOVE that kitten thing. Will make a postcard from it.

imenja: I know the sadness you speak of. I wish I could be proud of my country at all times - I cannot be. But believe me that you are doing good here on this board and that I'm spreading the word that the other America DOES exist :)

Hope I haven't forgotten anybody/anything :)

Feels good to be here :)
