Ted, > You'll be surprised.......they are actually cleaner than Germany and Switzerland......but they have the worst weather. Germany was by far the cleanest and most prosperous (for lack of a better word) of the three countries that I visited. But even their standard of living did not match up to that of America, from my point of view. Maybe I'm spoiled by the highly-planned nature of California communities, but even compared to NYC, Berlin and Munich were a notch lower. On the other hand, driving on the Autobahn was pure joy. Everyone knows how to drive. Everyone knows how to stay on the right and pass on the left. It allows most people to drive at the normal speeds of 120-150 KPH while not interfering with The Fast and The Furious going at 200 KPH. God, if only those driving on American highways did the same thing. (The rental car that I drove also had a very tall 6th gear which I believe is uncommon for American cars.) By the way, anyone know why it's called "Germany" when they call it "Deutchland"? Even the Korean word for Germany is "Doh-Gil", which sounds more like "Deutchland" than anything else. How about "Munich"? That hardly sounds like "Munchen," no? Tenchusatsu
