Germany – These Are A Few Of My Favorite Things

Introverts Make Better Bloggers

I have always been really bad in interviews.  I think it has to do with being introverted.  I am not shy to answer questions, the problem is I just can’t answer the question.  It has to do with slower than extroverted processing.  I can get my answer but most people don’t want to wait on me.  Blog posts are good ways for introverts to express themselves because we can take our time to draw out the answers.

Why I Like Germany

No Seriously.  Why I Like Germany In Bullet Form

• The sky is closer.  When I sit in the church building wondering what it is that Randy is preaching about, I look up and see clouds drifting by that seem to float right above my head.
• The sidewalks are more interesting.  A lane to walk and a lane to ride.
• I like the little grocery stores.  I still find I like to go to Aldi that is right up the road from our apartment in Joplin.
• Backyards.  When kept they are greener than anything over here in the south/mid-west.
• Trains!  In Missouri trains are used for hauling vehicles and coal.  I like riding trains.
• No smoking laws!  Yippee! (We are starting to do this but each state is different)
• Hannover Zoo.  Best zoo I have been to.  That being said its only competition is the Tulsa Zoo.
• Pizza.  Pizza Taxi makes a mean pizza.
• Johannes Duckeck.
• Wetten, dass..?
• History.  America has history but nothing like Europe.
• Architecture.  Beautiful buildings.
• Streets that curve.  Most streets the middle of the US goes straight and is more efficient which is boring.
• Brötchen
• Assigned seating at the movie theater.
• The cold weather.  This gives me an excuse to cuddle with Amanda.
• Less tornadoes.
• Not likely that Germany will experience temperatures at 43 degrees Celsius!
• Game night.
• Bicycles.
• Country side while riding a Bicycle.
• 10,000 different types of trashcans.
• Church family.
• And other friends who live in Peine.

I am sure this is not an exhaustive list.  Also this list is not in order at all.  People would be up top if that were the case.  Hope this helps a little.
