Germany is a cool place with lots of very pretty smiling faces. Contrary to what I expected Germans love Americans and usually respond to questions with a positive attitude and are very helpful, it also doesn’t hurt that about 80% of the German women that I've encountered are drop dead gorgeous.
As a pedestrian Germans are easy to spot because they will go from 80 miles an hour to a dead stop in the middle of a four lane road to wave you across the street, even when you’re not at a crosswalk. In my opinion that’s a little too courteous.
The few I have actually had the pleasure of talking to know a great deal about America, or have been to more states than I have.
If only there was a Panera Bread here...
