Viele Leute hier kapieren den Witz ECHT nicht, selbst wenn sie GLAUBEN, ihn zu kapieren (Luke) oder behaupten, selber Amerikaner in Deutschland zu sein (Sebastian). Und der Blogeintrag macht sich echt so OFFENSICHTLICH über jemand ANDEREN als die Deutschen lustig! Das ist ganz schön traurig. Ouch! A lot of people here REALLY don't get it, even when they BELIEVE they get it (Luke) or claim to be Americans in Germany themselves (Sebastian). And this blog entry is really so OBVIOUSLY making fun of somebody ELSE than Germans! That's quite sad. Autsch!

The solution of how to travel in Germany and not be bothered by German culture is to not go to Germany you americanized piece of [crap].

Sure there is a lot of crap cheap chocolate, just like there is also crap cheap German Beer and awful French wines. Try Vosges or Scharffenberger, Guittard or Dagoba.

However much I like the States there are three thing the Yanks can´t make (well they make them but are all useless) and that´s: cars, beer and coffee. It therefore doesn´t surprise me that so many Americans visit Germany. Enjoyed reading the comments.

This is an test and raceway build in the 1920s, 20,8 km long (about 13 miles i think), used later from the "Formel 1". Now you can still drive as a private person with your private car (bus, motorcycle) on it or use the "Ringtaxi", a BMW M3 driven by a nice racing girl. But watch out, your driving at your own risk. It´s also called "Die grüne Hölle." = The green hell. Greetings from Germany, near the Nürburgring. ;-) @Artur: Also ich finds lustig was er so schreibt. Das ganze ist ja auch nicht besonders ernst gemeint. So sehe ich das jedenfalls. Hi,

You can get Oreos, Hershey bars or marshmallows, peanut butter a lot of ohter stuff in many stores now. American food is considered pretty hip here. So all you guys don't be afraid of suffering from hunger. We do have more than the golden arches. There is Burger King, KFC, Subway and Pizza Hut in almost every city, too!! But keep your hands away from German meats. There is much less drugs in it than you are used to. So you could easly be taken sick because your daly dose is missing. Why do without American treats?
