I have a friend who's parents came from Germany |

I use to work with a German girl, who would be talking about someone, and instead of saying, "they want to be in lime light", she would say, "they want to be in the lamp light"!! |

and yes I love to say 'COCOA' |

I have a German friend who speaks very good English. The only place she goes wrong is to swap over W's and V's. |

I loved Austria and Germany, though I wish I had seen more of Germany. |

Did you enjoy Munich? I feel very comfortable in that city. |

Sounds so lovely!! Something so simple, to make one feel so rich!! My neice travels out of the country at least twice a month for her job, and comes back with tales of these wonderful cafe's. She was in Paris recently, and was telling us of a Vegitarian Festival she came upon. She is a veggie, so for her it was like heaven! This week she is in Panama! |

My German language skills are horrific, but this brings up a good point. |

I've never been to South America. I used to long to go there when I was younger but I think I have got the travel bug out of my system ... for a while, anyway. |

I love Munich, and for both trips I was there in early December when everything was gearing up for Christmas. |

The furthest South I've been was Mexico. We went to Cancun in the late 1980s. |

I've had the same problem with New Orleans. That city is one of my favorites to visit, but for half the year it's so hot and humid that I want to burrow into an air-conditioned room and never leave. |

I have a habit of apologising for my Deutsch before asking any question. It always surprises me when the reply comes back in English ... from bank clerks to shelf fillers. |

English is a requirement in the schools there. I was amazed at how well they spoke it too. |

Two years after my first trip to Germany and Austria I returned but with a couple friends this time. It was a lot of fun and because we shared a room everywhere it was quite economical. |

Mmm ... much more difficult in France ... unless your French is very good. |

Even simple things are wondrous. I went to a restaurant in Germany and an older man came in with his dog. The dog sat quietly by his side for the entire meal. Can you imagine that happening in the United States? |

But you're right, Europe is much easier than most people expect. The Dutch speak excellent English. |

Baldur really should learn French. |
