"Flea" market

I think the one thing everyone should check out are these little markets. They have all kinds of goods. I went to a particular one that happens once a month. This market had everything. From a place to get a haircut, food (cooked and raw) to Lego stuff.

If you're looking for antiques this is one place to check out. They had buttons, pins, porcelain, coffee grinders. Some of these items were fairly old, some were very well made replicas. 

Does anyone want a game boy?

Germany, Germany, Germany.

Where to begin? As an American, I have to say the USA is the best place in the world...then, there's Germany, it has nothing to do with the fact my German girlfriend reads my blog (wink). I must admit, I didn't know what to expect when I first arrived here. I had lived in Italy before, and I envisioned the way of life in Germany to be very similar. After all they are very close to each other. The more I thought about this theory in my head, the more I realized how different the two countries are. But also how much I feel like I'm home, I think, yeah, wait...does everyone speak German here?

Welcome to my journey. Here you will find my experiences and my views as a foreigner in a strange yet familiar place.
