One of my friends just moved to Ingolstadt..........he just got hired by Audi.

My German home is not too far away from there. Right now snowing a lot again. But with childhood in Stockholm, I actually like snow and ice. Went ice skating 10 days ago!

Anyway, 4 weeks from now I'm back to CA again, 9 hrs difference in time and a lot more in style of living.

Understanding that you spend significant time in Europe and then in particular in Germany, have you ever noticed that "personal space" is so much bigger in the US?
In Europe you need to get real tight, almost touching before you feel a need to excuse yourself to pass by. In the US that happens way before getting close enough to touch.

I never saw anybody writing anything about this.
