Difference part 2

Another thing that everyone one probably knows but I failed to know it is that everything is measured differently. Instead of pounds there is kilo´s instead of miles ther is meters and instead of calories there is a Kcal. There are alot more measuring differences such as liters, which brings me to another huge manual, well so far all the cars I have been in. Another thing is how the towns are built, they do not just cut through forest´s or plants, they go with them. Houses are also built close together, so a big yard is hard to find. And I cant forget the pigeons, they just walk right up to you, which ever since my incident with our three geese I am not to fond of birds. There parks here in Germany are absolutley beautiful as well. There is usually a pond with egyptian ducks in them, I dont know how the ducks got in germany but they are there. Also there are fountains and very well constructed playgrounds for the children. Electricity is another thing that I have noticed that is very well saved here, just like the gas. There are great big windows to let the light in, and they also open just like doors to let the breeze in, and the shades are constructed to completly black out a room which is very nice in the night, they also help with keeping sound out. Gas is another big saver, they do not use gas guzzling lawn mowers, they have no need to buy huge mowers because the yards are usually small, so they use electric mowers that cut just as well if not better than the mowers in the US.
Here is a good one for you guys POP. I have not been able to find any pop besides Fanta, Coco-cola, and sprite, and all of them come in zero kcal too. I also have not found wiz-cheese, or doritoes, or alot of junk food in the stores. The only fattining thing I have found here is candy, which by the way is amazing. They also do not freeze alot of things, they keep everything fresh, and the meat is not frozen either. The meat is full of taste here, it took me some getting use to, to all flavors in the meats, but its delicious. Dont tell anyone I told you this, but the beer is also very refreshing, and like I said before you do not drink here to get drunk.
Some of the differences in my school are that everyone does not have a locker, and instead just brings a back pack to school. There is no lunch period just long breaks after every third lesson, and if a teacher is sick there is no subsitute there is just simply no class. I think that its great not having class because then you have an entire free period to rome aroud the school, go on the computer, or finish you homework from another class. Trainsportation is another big thing here, If I have already said this I will say it again, cars are not essential here unless you are driving a long way. In germany there is a great trasportation system that can get you any where you need to go, and all the towns are close together so you could also walk if you chose to. Well thats enough for today, I will write again soon. Tschüss
