130 kmh...thats about 80 mph isnt it?

Why don't you talk to German veterans from World War 2 about your M1? lol

Lived there for a while. It's very Americanised.

But Remember all the shops close before 6 o'clock though, it's a pain in the ass getting groceries after work.

Simple German is quite similar to English, so communication is not hard. The only German I really needed was 'Ein Doner Kebab Bitte'. Man those Kebabs are lovely. Those Turks really know how to cook.

OORAH, hope you are enjoying the German experience. Have a sip of "Papst" beer for me - it is beer they sell with Pope Benedict XVI on the bottle's label, as it is made in his home region.

May the Lord and St Christopher bring you home safely.

Yeh I think so (maybe 90 M/h). What's the max. speed limit on American freeways (I heard it's quite low compared to most European countries)?

I'll teach you some more: "Ein Dürüm, bitte". It's like a regular Döner Kebap...but better. Apparently it was "invented" by Turkish immigrants (or their descendants) in Germany, rather than Turkey itself

in texas, the highest ive seen is 75...

I heard in West Texas will have up to 80 MPH on 10 highway only.

How come anyone buys sports cars in America?

Btw, roy75 what exactly do you mean by "americanised"? Most western countries are pretty similar at first glance. But IMO theres quite a lot of differences when it comes to how people interact, how they work, their attitudes, etc. As for attitudes I'd say Americans in general have a much more positive outlook on things. Americans say "Thats a great idea you should do that.." while Germans say "That will never work because of...". And there are lot of other cultural differences, like the whole male-female dynamic works differently here. "Dating" is pretty much unheard of, there are no strict rules and less social pressure.


Oh and groceries are now open till 8 o'clock, most of them.

we prefer to think of speed limits as a guideline....the speed you should go when you're low on gas...got it now?

So the highway patrol officer doesn't care too much if you're breaking the limit as long as traffic isn't too dense?
