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.

Plop! Plop! Plop!
From The New York Times:
"Fischer also cultivated a good personal relationship with Colin Powell. When the American traveled to Berlin two months after the beginning of the Iraq war, Fischer spoiled him with Wiener Schnitzel and Flensburger Pils beer. The former general learned to love the brand's old-fashioned, ceramic caps during his years of military service in Germany.
It's been a year and half since Powell's visit and since then Fischer has religiously brought along a few cases of Flensburger on each of his visits to the United States. 'Shipment arrived,' he likes to whisper to Powell during meetings, as if the two were part of some conspiracy."
When they get together it may sound like this.
