Off topic. Europe was great, but I need ego help..
first.. can someone translate how fast 200 Km is in mph?

I was doing 200 in my rental on the autobann at 4:30 in the morning
looked in my rear view and saw these new off color high intensity lamps well in the distance coming up behind me. My first thought was cops! Speeding. then I remembered where I was.. in just that much time those lights turned into a car that went past me so fast that it nearly pulled the paint off the left side of my car. In a count of ten it was out of sight.. so my question is more ufo I suppose.. how fast is fast.. it seemed like it was twice my 200.

I was surprized also by the economic exchange with Thailand. Very active such that in evening conversations most Germans expressed the notion that because of their active trade Thailand wouldn't succumb to the problems other Asian countries were exposed to. A lot of travel between the two countries also. In the shopping plaza I visited there were three languages posted .. German English and Thai... Just a side note and probably a very local opinion.

Otherwise business and pleasure were good. Perhaps I'll study their language, not speaking is a major deficit.
