Fellow Americans,

some of the best fun of my first stay in your country I probably had in your shopping facilities.

Example #1: Obviously the U.S. are a country of plenty. You got ‘em SUVs and huge buildings and fridges and you wouldn’t bother to switch off the lights when leaving your apartment. Also, a good dish is either deep-fried or comes with large amounts of cheese or butter. I grant you the grease, dear Americans but this is just too much:

I mean, who in the world needs butter on green salad? Is this too healthy without loads of fat? Anyway, here comes example #2: Hopefully not even Americans will try to eat this although it’s certainly greasy enough.

No offense. I guess Germans are - especially thanks to some Bavarians - not really known for their fat free cuisine and slight build. Some more on Bavarian cuisine can be found here.

I still got no CVS card but I love you guys anyway and I miss seeing you every night!
