		<title>You speak German&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[and what other language? That seems to be a valid question here if you were interviewing someone for a job. I say this because of the amount of diverse people I have met that speak another language. So when I had to get oil for our house I was a little worried about talking with [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[round here, are ya? Last week I made my yearly trip to Oktoberfest, I say yearly because it has been 2 years in a row now (and it sounds cool to say I make a yearly trip to Oktoberfest). For the most part it was the same wonderful time as it was last year- beer, [...]]]></description>

Guy at the house says &#8220;uh he&#8217;s my neighbor&#8221;.  Delivery guys says &#8220;Yea, whatever. sign here.&#8221; Apparently this how it works for the Germans when it comes to delivering a package.

		<title>Back from the dead&#8230;..</title>
		<description><![CDATA[once again. I can&#8217;t believe that it has been over a month since my last post and I apologize for this. I haven&#8217;t been sitting around enjoying the beer gardens (or biergartens) the whole time though &#8212; just most of the time.       I have just moved to a new place in Deutschland and [...]]]></description>

		<title>The customer is&#8230;..</title>
		<description><![CDATA[never even close to being right at most of the stores here in Germany. I have learned that the term &#8220;Customer Service&#8221; is more of an afterthought and not the standard here. This is totally different then back in the states where you are greeted with a smile by virtually every employee, asked if you [...]]]></description>

		<title>The slogan for Germany&#8230;&#8230;</title>
		<description><![CDATA[has been created by 2 Americans who recently visited Munich. It sounds improbable, I know, but it&#8217;s true and I am living through it to confirm this. The official slogan of Germany should be &#8220;Anything Goes&#8221; (kinda like THIS). Why you ask? There are so many reasons that I would probably overload the blog if [...]]]></description>

		<title>It&#8217;s July and&#8230;..</title>
		<description><![CDATA[it has not been over 65 degrees for the past week or so &#8211; with about 4 of those days raining most of the time. I have complained about the hot weather before, but know it&#8217;s time to complain about the cold weather. I actually would choose cooler weather over hotter weather (especially without A/C) [...]]]></description>

It&#8217;s been at least high 70&#8217;s to mid 80&#8217;s for the past 3 or 4 days and you&#8217;re probably thinking that&#8217;s nice weather. Well it&#8217;s not nice when you don&#8217;t have any air conditioning in your house or even your office. The past few days at work [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;home&#8221; with my recent trip back to the USA and it was interesting the things I noticed since this was the first time I have been home since I left. In some respect not much has changed, afterall it&#8217;s only been 9 months since I left. On the other hand though, I noticed many little [...]]]></description>
