The closer we get to our move date the more aware I become of the differences between my life in America and the one that awaits me. (*After all, how am I supposed to Live without my Monday night fix of the Bachelor?) To this I owe thanks to all the people out there who have been doing their "research" and filling me in on the details of my soon to be life. Now...considering the majority (ok maybe all) of this information is coming from sources who have never set foot on German soil I am not promising their accuracy, but thought they would be fun to share none the less.
* The majority of people do not own dryers and it is illegal to hang your clothes out where someone might see them (which leads this source to believe that laundry is not done very often)
* Germans are nosey...so it is essential to keep your blinds closed!
* Dogs are allowed EVERYWHERE ( and yes that includes grocery stores)
* There are over 1500 types of sausages....I can see you licking your lips already
* Germans answer the phone with their surname instead of "Hello". Weird!
* If you are looking for an apartment beware. Un-furnished means no furniture, cabinets, closets, light fixtures or toilets!
*I am sure that this is the tip of the ice burg so be looking for more fun and interesting facts to come!
Although, I am taking a huge leap of faith by letting go of the branches, the truth is maybe blowing in the wind is where we are supposed to be.
