The longer episodes are just as interesting as the shorter ones, I love how you highlight songs from German bands. I'd love to hear what Germans do for recreation, how Germans stay fit, more reviews of German cities (the Hamburg and Bavaria episodes made me want to go!), how Americans can go about relocating there, German views on American current events, your American point-of-view about social democracy, political differences between the various regions in Germany, where one would want to live to be close to hiking/biking trails for daily use, what industries are likely to hire Americans, how long did it take you to become fluent in German and how did you go about doing it ... but really, whatever interests you, whatever you get excited about, that is something I would also like to listen to.

While I have only listened to the first four podcasts so far, I have found that the time and effort you expend come through as a super product -- well worth listening to over and over again. Last year, my husband and I took our first trip to Germany -- staying at the home of my German cousin and her husband in Baden-Wuerttemberg. (They speak fluent English, I speak a bissle Schwabisch, and my husband knows only English.) My cousin, her husband, and I each wanted to take a brief nap before dinner; my husband wanted to take a walk. So we made plans to meet my husband outside a small inn at 7 PM -- SHARP! (Or should I say -- German Time.) We were outside at 6:55, but no husband. At 7 PM, still no husband. At 7:10, my cousin's husband said, "We must go in and order without him. They will stop serving soon." He opened the door to the inn and immediately shut it. "Augh," he said laughing. "You will not believe this." He opened the door again, allowing us to go through. In the bar area, sitting at a long table with 18 other men, was my husband -- laughing and talking (one man translated). He had been befriended by a German hiking club, and they were all enjoying their time together. This was such a rich experience for my husband. It broke all the stereotypes that he had heard about the German people being austere. So glad I found your site, and thanks for all the good work.

This stuff deserves to be more widely known to prevent prejudices. Here in Australia the Dutch are more of a presence than the Germans. A common view is that the Dutch are arrogant and rude. Now I see that is a misinterpretation of their penchant for honesty and directness, just like their German neighbours. ILove the site, I'll be back for more soon. Very interesting.

Yesterday morning about 5am a full marching band of at least twenty people starting playing outside seemingly random windows in our neighborhood. They were accompanied by two policemen, I think to provide protection in case people became inclined to violence. I asked the parents at my children's school and they said that the people in my city were crazy ;-) and they had no idea what this was about. Do you have any information? We speculate that it was some kind of fundraiser, people paying them to annoy friends/enemies who in turn pay them to go away. What do you think? Vanessa Hi Taural,

She was shocked to see an entire family enjoying the spa...all naked of course! When we found our first apt, my company provided me 1month of extra salary to buy a kitchen.

So I just listened to this one today. I am of German descent but I've never been able to visit Germany. Growing up we always had Advent calendars and Lebkuchen at Christmas time. However it wasn't until a few years ago that I learned that some Advent calendars have chocolate in them. I was cheated!!! I missed out on years of holiday chocolate! :) Now you tell me that they also come with beer?!!? Why does no one tell me these things! I enjoy the podcast. It seems you're on a bit of a break but by the time I catch up I hope to hear some new ones. Brendan Taural,

On Friday the 13th 1307 at the orders of King Phillip of France and Pope Clement V. There is no information found that Friday the 13th has anything to do with the Christ and his deciples.

My wife and I are pretty excited and are gearing up for our upcoming German Urlaub...and really feeling the squeeze of the weak dollar. It must have been nice to be in your shoes, the absolute opposite...I'd be stocking up on MacBooks and Ipods if I were in your shoes, coming back to the states :) Look forward to hearing from you again, soon. Sorry I haven't been commenting as much, been scrambling to adjust to a new job...hopefully after our trip ( march 20-30) we can hook up on skype or do a some email Q/A regarding my experiences and observations. Cheers and happy travels, Jim Nice to hear from you again, Taural (and I mean it sincerely…not just being polite, hehe).
