You wouldn't know it from reading most of my postings, because they're mainly an outlet for frustrations, but I do enjoy Germany and thought I'd take some time to list the things that are good:

the food, German food is almost always hot, hearty, and comforting.

the people are in general very nice once you engage them

the countryside. It reminds me a lot of the rolling hills in Ohio.

the public transportation is awesome.

the parks and streets are clean

Wal-Mart is not allowed to sell at a loss by law, thereby preventing them from undercutting local businesses. This is considered an unfair business practice.

the autobahn still has open sections with no speed limits.

good beer and wine are cheap (if you have a palette for good beer)

Now back to the complaints...
