I live in the U.S, and I have never been to another Country but would love to travel and see what other Countries are like. Tell me about your Country.

I live in Germany. Basically the way of life here is similar to that in the US (at least more similar than to the eastern/asian way of life). Exceptions are that we aren't as patriotic as the americans and I dare to say that in some points we're a bit further developed than the US.
I know about the common prejudices concerning Germany and its citizens: We don't eat that many sausages, we don't wear leather pants and there are way more things to see here than Neuschwanstein and the rests of the Berlin wall. ;)

Yes, on television in the US that is what they show of Germans. I have a friend in the military and he was stationed in Germany, he said living there was the best experience he'd had outside of the US. Thanks for your comment. People need to know that their perception of other countries is wrong.

I live in the Netherlands (you know Dutch)in Europe. We don't walk in wooden shoes, but we do have a lot of old windmills. Untill a few years ago we had the largest harbor (china is way to fast-growing, to keeping up with them). We do live some meters below the waterlevel of the north sea and we are multi-cultural. We have philips, shell and ahold. But the stocks are surely in the hands of other countries. Bye.
