Thanks. I really don't think there's anti-Americanism in Germany currently, it's more an indifference. Check, for instance, the Yahoo! Germany page on Iraq: de.fc.yahoo.com Lots of reports of what happened in Iraq, no statements by the German government or reactions by citizens. The many domestic problems are pushing foreign events to the background. And even a sports event like the Tour de France with the duel between Jan Ullrich and Lance Armstrong is receiving more attention than foreign policy. letour.fr

Crazy German squirrels... ;0) Squirrel ‘adopts’ man in Germany -- 15 July 2003 expatica.com GOETTINGEN - A squirrel "adopted" a human who strayed into its forest in Germany, refusing to budge from the man's shoulder and forcing him to call police for help. Calling from his cell phone, the agitated rambler told police in Goettingen he was walking through the woods when the bushy-tailed red squirrel scampered up to his shoulder. Repeated attempts to give the furry admirer the brush-off resulted only in the animal becoming more persistent about jumping back up onto his shoulder. "You've got to help me, I can't get this crazy squirrel off my shoulder," the unidentified caller told a police dispatcher. "The caller was given the address of an animal shelter," a police spokesman said. "And if the folks there are unable to separate them, then perhaps they'll both live happily ever after.
