Have you been? It's a lovely town - all the downtown is blocked off to traffic so there are lots of little shops and ice cream stands.Alanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07507063858936159161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8960279.post-25758108186118077162011-06-20T08:03:20.191+02:002011-06-20T08:03:20.191+02:00@Alana - where have you been in Germany?

I studied in Germany immediately following seven months in Italy and a trip to Egypt, and I went into complete and utter shock seeing how well everyone actually followed the rules. Was particularly drawn to the way bicyclists and pedestrians shared sidewalk space simply by staying on their side of the yellow line. No need for bikes and cars to nervously circle one another, and no need to ding the bell to get pedestrians out of the way. Just perfect, symbiotic order. :)Alanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07507063858936159161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8960279.post-71138274263669974252011-06-19T09:32:41.282+02:002011-06-19T09:32:41.282+02:00@Julie - well Ctrl + Alt + Del is a part of daily ...@Julie - well Ctrl + Alt + Del is a part of daily life, so it was pretty easy :)Claudia Moserhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15749097943320550338noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8960279.post-75327526733037459762011-06-18T20:49:46.483+02:002011-06-18T20:49:46.483+02:00Ctl-Alt-Del I didn't even think of that one an...Ctl-Alt-Del I didn't even think of that one and then you went on to create a very creative and interesting post.
