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.

Global German

Gedownloaded, Gesplitted, Geinterviewed
These days, German youths don't just act "cool," they are also "gestylt," "designt" and find things "super easy."  A German brewery markets "the Beck's experience." Even Germany's most venerable TV news program, the Tagesschau, talks about "jobs" rather than Arbeitsplätze, "statements" rather than Stellungnahmen and "Erfolgsstorys" rather than Erfolgsgeschichten.
I'm curious as to what goes on at The Great Ding-Dong Festival.
