I've been here for almost 10 days. The first six in a hotel, we are now in our house. Not much different than America other than the language, food and beer. The best things about 11 am kickoffs is that they are prime time for me.

go eat some gruen kohl and get report back. If you need any 220 to 110 converters, let me know...
I'm set on all of the electrical needs, but thanks for the offer. I'll give your other suggestion a try unless it is a regional offering and not offered where I am at.
Football season is interesting when you get to watch 11am games in primetime. Problem is, the prime time games...end up starting at ridiculous hours in the morning. Makes the usual CFB Saturday marathon a bit more tiring than back home. Really makes the CFB/NFL marathons difficult.
There are some pretty cool things over here and it should get better as I/we learn more of the language. That said I woke up this morning and watched the second half of the Mizzou/ASU game, weird feeling.
My daughter just moved to Germany last weekend. She will be there for the next year on a Fulbright Teaching Grant. She loves Germany (2 [prior trips plus one semester study abroad). Hope you are in the Bavarian section of Germany. They seemed to have more fun there (at least drink a lot more beer). For lunch, for dinner, for bedtime snack Maybe even from breakfast. Let's hope the Cyclones make you evening today.
I don't know about Germany, but I've spent a lot of time in southern Europe and beer and wine are generally a lot cheaper, even when other things aren't.
If Americans sat down for lunch somewhere and a beer or glass of wine was the same price as a Coke we'd probably drink more too ;-) I find myself drinking a lot more there than I do here just because it's more convenient and economical.
This is true. Earlier this year we were in Bologna, Italy and they were pumping wine out of a gas pump and it was actually cheaper than the fuel.
