[trumpet-guy]

anyone from Germany? or lived in Germany?

[CanadianChick]

err... used to live in Austria, but never Germany. Spent lots of time there though!

[perhaps]

my friend has an exchange student staying in her house thats from Germany :)

[tak86forGod]

i noticed your name was trumpet-guy and i play trumpet. i also know a little deutsch. not enough to carry on a serious conversation but a little none the less. i am from America. (just to clarify that) i just wanted to talk to someone from europe if that is ok.

[trumpet-guy]

well im from the USA i just lived in Germany.
i lived there for 7 years of my life so maybe i can
tell u some stuff about it if u won't

[BROKE HOSS]

I spent 2 weeks in Europe when I was in high school. The choir performed in a World Youth Music Fest. And I lived in Stuttgart for about 1 year right after I got married. My wife & I both had gone through some language training and used to be able to speak German. It takes the 2 of us working together and a dictionary to read letters from my German friends now.

I love that country, I hope that I get to go back sometime. But alot has changed since the wall came down. What really hurts is my friends say "it has become alot like America".

[Jeremo]

I'm currently an american living in germany. My dad's working as a civilian for the U.S. Army, so we get the benefits of the army without the stupid stuff like living in a different place every two years. I must say that it is tons of fun being over here in Deutschland!

[Oddjob]

I know a bit of German, not much, i want to go there someday, oh i'm sorry but i have to say this................ 5-1 :D :p

[Oddjob]

J/k.

So what is the regional drink in Germany?

[Ibanezguy]

Jeremo!! I know you! Anyways I live in Germany too. 6 years today. It's awesome. I love it here. BTW the regional drink... it has to be beer. All germans seem to love it and drink it like water.
Great place :D

[mesabooger]

errr....I lived in Italy but spent lots of time in Austria and Germany. I loved it every time I went up there.

[Jeremo]

yeah Ibanez, I know who you are..... true, beer has to be the country's regional drink, but smoking has to be the country's national pastime. I've gotten more offers of a cigarette (3) on a weekend church youth trip than I've gotten in my 14 years in the states (0)

[glamaricious]

I love germany to bits - I'm going there in the summer - I want to live there when I "grow up".
Mein deutsch ist nicht sehr gut.

[cq dx]

I come from a german family, and had
the priviledge to spend part of my
growing up years there, in Bayern.
(Bavaria.) Munich, actually.

I miss it, a lot.

especially hanging out by the Neues
Rathaus, under the Glockenspiel, waiting
for 11 uhr., or spending all day at the
Deutsches Museum, taking dumb photos
of my friends by the Feldherrnhalle,
or hiking up die Zugspitz. ( 6000 m.)

I moved away just before the Munich
Olympics, 1970. There was a lot of
construction going on, putting in the
new U-bahn.

Do you still ride the Strassenbahn in Germany,
or did they do away with them altogether?
(please tell me they didn't.)

I hope some day to take my wife and
daughter to see where my family came
from ( 3 devastating wars caused our
family to move around a bit over the
last 105 years, i'm afraid. )

z.Gemuetlichkeit!
tschau u. gruess Gott.

[Strummer_Boy]

Hey.
i currently live in Heidelberg Germany. I'm a high school junior and i've been here for i a little over two and a half years. i have loved it. Although i'm moving back to the states in June.
I help lead worship for an awesome youth group run by Malachi.
does anyone else have any connection with any Malachi people??? that would be awesome!

Whoa...i just figured out who Jeremo and Ibanez guy were. Hey guys. man...this is weird...we're in the same building. freaky.

[Remoterocker]

Hey Guys,
I'm also from Germany (parents are civilians working for the Army). I Defiaintly agree with Jeremo and Ibanezguy about the past times and drinks. I'm pretty sure the Strassenbahns are still running in Munich, they are in Heidelberg, although they've changed alot over the years, become more technologically advanced.

I love living in Europe, the opportunities asr endless! For example, two weekends ago, we took a bus trip to Normandy to visit the D-Day invasion sites and the American Cemetary where you see Private Ryan in the movie "Saving Private Ryan" (that was my second trip there). I've been to switzerland and Astria, a cruise in the Greek Islands, as well as a few days in Athens, been to Venice, Ephesus (letter of Ephesians) and Patmos to see the cave where John was exiled and had the Revelation. I've been to Norway, and Italy, Belgium, and who knows where else!!

As you can see I've been able to travel all over the place. I've done this all in less than 4 years! If anyone here ever has the chance to visit or move to Europe, take it. It is AWESOME over here!

I agree with strummer_boy, it's wierd how you end up talking to people over the net when your in the same building! I'll see you three on Sunday!

[Amber]

I lived in Germany for 4 years when my dad was in the military. It was great. I don't know any German though; I was about 8 years old when we left.

[Remoterocker]

Where were you stationed? Alot has change in ten years... I was actually here about ten years ago too, although I was only 6 when we left I do remember a lillte bit form that tour. I do love Europe though!
What branch was/is our dad in?

[Amber]

My dad was in the Air Force and we were stationed in Spangdalem AFB.

[cq dx]

Glad to hear the Strassenbahns are running still.

Hope to return to Germany soon. I want to visit where
our family started, as far as we know, anyway:
Strasbourg. Sometimes German, sometimes
French. Mom says most definately and conclusively
it is and always shall be German. (no bias there, huh?)

Of course, she still calls Charlemagne "Karl der
Grosse" too.

[Jeremo]

all these people that I know! hehe, it is pretty cool here. :kduh: I think it's going to be awesome this summer! the sun's coming out, the rain only comes every now and then...

it's gonna be a bummer once you're gone though strummer boy.
oh, well, I'm sure there are at least three people in virginia, it shouldn't be that bad... ;)

see ya!
