Why I like Germany...

1. Everything is within walking distance, or within walking distance of an SBahn or UBahn station: I've been eating stuff like toast with butter and nutella on it every morning, but I'm still losing weight because I walk like, 10 or so kilometers per day!
2. Bread and most groceries are really cheap: Garrett and I bought a loaf of bread for 65 cents. Brötchen cost about 10 cents. I bought some nuts today, which cost 1.86 Euros. In the US, they would have been at least $5. Produce, however, is a little more expensive, which is sad...
3. Everyone recycles.
4. You HAVE to save water/electricity: It's expensive.
5. No one will come up to you in the store and make awkward small talk, but once you have a reason to talk to someone, they are the sweetest people.
6. There's so much history here: most of the buildings/churches are really old, and there are plenty of art and historical museums. (Yes, I realize this one isn't Germany-specific, but since I am here, I will count it among the reasons why I like Germany!)
