Deutschland

• keep in mind that as you go from place to place within a country things can change as well, be it state to state, bundesland to bundesland, city to city, or block to block. i am from albany, ny and i've been living in wuerzburg, bavaria for about half a year. the scenery is different... the houses are built differently, the city's streets are laid out very differently, the food is different, etc. the people in wuerzburg, however, just seem like regular people to me; they're not that different from the people back home. people who hear me speak and realize i'm not german often come up to me and ask me about what i'm doing, how i like studying here, etc. my point is... i came to europe thinking it would be SO different from the us. in some ways it is. but after being here for a while, my opinion is that everywhere you go people are the same. it is definitely wrong to say that all germany is a country full of nazis. the right-wing parties here are vehemently hated by 95% of people. on the whole (at least in bavaria) politically, things are shifting to the left. not everyone is miserable. you can see misery anywhere - i see it when i go back to visit albany, and i see it when i am out here in wuerzburg. germany and the usa are different, but one is not better than the other.
