Notes from Germany
I am an American expat living in Germany. It's a far away land on the other side of the ocean. It's interesting and often weird here. If you read this and want to comment then email me at blog(the at symbol)chillmost.com. If you find any spelling or grammar mistakes, you can keep them.

While I've been sick here I've read three books that I highly recommend.
Nickel and Dimed: On (Not) Getting By in America
The author enters the minimum-wage work force to see for herself how the people who have to work in that sector fair. Makes me grateful that when I was working in restaurants I was living with parents and had a support network.
Fast Food Nation
The fast food industry is evil. So evil. The one phrase that sums it up: There is shit in the meat. Vegetarians, I totally understand where your're coming from. I'll try never to eat fast food again. I say try because mmmmm..... burger.
And finally, The Da Vinci Code
I read it in about a day straight through. Totally awesome. My Dad and siblings weren't kidding.
