I did notice it a day or two after I made the post (a typo the spellchecker wouldn't have caught), but it cracked me up so much (yeah, I'm odd that way)that I thought I'd leave it in to see if anyone else would notice. Good eyes! (or maybe everyone else just decided to pretend not to notice!) @ed: Haha!

I'm a US size 16 (or 46/48 here), and while I can generally still shop in most regular stores in the US, in Germany this falls well on the plus-size side of things! Some stores here only carry up to size 42 (US 10/12)! I even found a plus-size store in Göttingen that started at size 8!!! @Shiela: Thanks :-) but it’s true.

It'd be cool to have fresh eggs from your backyard!<br/><br/>@sarah: You crack me up! Oktoberfest - hahaha! I'm 5'8" (so not exactly short) and the stuff is still way too tall for me! I need to get all the pants I buy here shortened. But even H&Ms plus size stuff is less flattering than a burlap sack - I don't get it! And congrats on the baby!<br/><br/>@rita: Yup! We've been out three with the old guy now and today his wife came along. She's really cool and funny! And Oliver is practicing penalties, punting, backflips and breakdancing in there. It's almost too much! I've had to tell him to cut it out a couple times already! @christina: Maybe it’s cause the dog poop is not quite that bad in the villages, but in cities it’s terrible!

How could I have forgotten the dog poop! You're right about the fruit and vegetables. I've also heard so many people say how great they are in Germany, but where I come from they are WAY better. It's all relative, I guess. I just did this meme today. How could I have forgotten the dog poop! You’re right about the fruit and vegetables.
