Wow , sounds awesome ... I agrea the school system in America needs some serious help ... I would love to see what your schools are like ....... and your right about bakeries here ... especially in my town ... I would be so happy if someone would come into town that could make real food, the best food I've ever had was in Club 33 in Disneyland (a secret 5 star restraunt in Disneyland ... made for members of club33) I knew someone who could get us in .... and I have never before or after tasted such good food, I would love to try German bread .... Maybe someday when I'm touring Europe (which I hope to do) I'll drop by a German Bakery and try it out ...

Do try, it's worth it. While we were living in America my dad was so frustrated about the lack of good bread that he baked his own... we've still got the recipe somewhere but don't need it anymore. Would you be interested?
One of the things I love about German school is the (relatively) neutral history lessons. Something I noticed about American history - uncomfortable happenings in American history are not talked about very often. In German history lessons, because there are a LOT of unpleasant things in Germany's history we discuss them. I won't say our lessons aren't unbiased, but they're definetely LESS biased than the school I went to in America.

Yes I'm definately interested in that recipe ... that would be sooo cool .... your right about the bias, its so funny when you go into one of the southern states and their talking about "the war of northern aggresion" and that "slavery wasn't that bad" .... and it kinda makes you feel like people are being brainwashed ..... and I'm sure it's the same with other things .... one of the things I find the funniest, is when people hold grudges against things that didn't happen to them ... that weren't done by someone else, but since they happen to live in the same place as the person who did it "its all their fault" don't you agree ...

[Kaz]

I agree, can't think of any examples though
I still remember the "Pledge to the Flag" with horror (I crossed my fingers while saying it), my brother invented a new version:
"I pledge allegiance to the frog
of the Divided States of America
and to the Republic for which it stands
two nations under smog
invisible and liberty and just rice for all"
I love it. In Germany you do not have to do things like that on account of recent events in German history. I'm considering going to the US again next year in 11th grade. Do you have to do the pledge even if you're an exchange student?

Lol ... thats hilarious .... actually you don't have to do the pledge at all ... especially if your an exchange student ... and if anyone else tells you different their full of BS .... that would go against everything the U.S. is supposed to stand for if you were forced .... if anyone try's to make you do it then they are idiots and just tell them what I told you ..... so anyway ... what part of America did you live in when you were here ... and if you come back where would you go ...

[Bahamut]

HellO! Morn to all of ye!!!

Neb yawned as he was awakened by Bahamut's "good morn!", he then shambled over to the bar and ordered a mug of something with caffeine in it.

Good late afternoon guys! I used to live in Guilford, Connecticut, a town near New Haven. I have a good friend who is currently going to a boarding school in Arizona, she told me that they have an exchange program with Germany called ASSIST - anyone heard of it? Otherwise I'd like to go to a place like Seattle (was there several times). Definetely a larger town in a relatively urban area (I believe the whole of Germany, minus several mountains, qualifies as an "urban area" so I'd probably not like it too much out in the country), but not a large city like L.A. or New York. If I go to the south I'd probably die because Europe has a very mild climate. Did you know this? The only reason Europe has the climate it does although its so far north is the Gulf Current (or hows it called) which brings warm water to us, which in turn heats up the continent. If global warming continues, it's likely that it will change course, which means that we get temperatures like in northern Canada. Joy.
