Notes from Germany
I am an American expat living in Germany. It's a far away land on the other side of the ocean. It's interesting and often weird here. If you read this and want to comment then email me at nate(the at symbol)chillmost.com. If you find any spelling or grammar mistakes, you can keep them.

Why does the USA insist on pissing the world off? And Americans wonder why other countries hate America. Well let me tell ya. It's not because they hate our freedom. Actually, if this were true, with the way things are going with the systematic sweeping away of America's civil liberties and all, these people won't hate America anymore in the future because there won't be any freedom. Ohhh. Now I see how it works.
But seriously folks, not only do we invade oil rich sovereign nations, who don't play by our rules, but we also make sure they are provided with lots of tobacco so that they get hooked thereby creating a new market. Yeah capitalism! Smoke 'em if you got 'em.
Interesting story about why the Iraqis love American soldiers.
peace out yo!

I biked my ass off today. I went with Jens, Steffi and Sio. First we biked along the Illmenau River here in Lüneburg and then sort of took a detour completely off the beaten path through a field when the trail came to an end. Then we went to a cafè and had a few drinks before we headed back to Lüneburg. I went to the apartment where I used to live, where Jens and Steffi still live, and enjoyed a nice spargel (asparagus) dinner cooked up by Jens. Spargel with potatos, white wine, and hollandaise sauce. Mmm-Mmm. Now I'm going to bed. Tomorrow is Monday:-( But it is also my dad's birthday :-) Actually it is Monday already here but not in Connecticut where they are.
