Please read this article about some of the top myths being passed around (mostly by the RNC and other similar bodies).
Foreign Policy: The Most Outrageous Lies about US Healthcare
Just the facts ma'am, just the facts.
I'm a former American expat who lived in Aachen, Germany for a couple years. Now, I'm in The District of Columbia and living as a young professional. I recently moved to the Trinidad/Gallaudet region of DC...an interesting experience for sure. This blog is about my experiences, thoughts and the occasional political article while living in our nation's capitol and my reminiscent memories of the land of Würst,ordnung and good beer.

Dear Tourists
Dear American tourists visiting Germany (and Europe in general),
You are painfully obvious. I can spot an American a mile away and you I can see for ten.
Please also remember that this isn't the United States. Refills don't come gratis and while much more expensive the coffee here is worth that €2,50. Stop staring at your map all the time and let yourself get lost in the city. You'll be happier for it. It wouldn't hurt if you would learn a few words in German, either.
And please, while you're here, buy some clothes and take them back with you (excluding lederhosen). White socks up to your knees is only acceptable while weed-whacking.
Wir danken Ihnen für Ihr verstandnis.
Oh, but outside of that-Munich is nice....English Garden is AMAZING and I look forward to uploading some pictures later.
