Oh! My Loves in Germany

---

I just sit back and laugh. We call her little H — for you know who… This is funny. Being a very sweet lady, she indulged us. When we were going out on dates she told us how to flirt in German. Ah, you brought back some memories! Hugs to you and your wife. That is so cool! Oh man, I make my wife repeat herself all the time. I just stumbled upon this blog and the Denglish entries cracked me up.

Made me think of my grandfather, who was from Austria but sounded like he was from Transylvania and routinely made us laugh with his vociferous pronouncements on just about everything. Thanks for making me laugh. Looking forward to reading more.

My Love's in Germany

I am about to marry a German myself and actually participate in a German wedding. Since I am the Braut, I am also in the planning committee. Your entries describe what I think quite often when it comes to certain German traditions. My daughter has a bachelor degree in music from, of all places, a college in Texas. She quickly moved to Germany to study music from where the only true music came from. She lives in Hong Kong only because her boyfriend PhD in theoritical, computational, physics, think Einstein works for a Swiss bank there.

From all I have gathered about why Germany is so much better your blog is right on. Glad to have found it. See here for more information — http: I get the impression you have quite a zest for life, taking it with a grain of humor.
