For a couple years, my wife and I hosted German exchange students. They all recoiled in horror when they saw I kept my beer in the refrigerator. They would take the bottle out for at least an hour before drinking it. And even then they would complain it was too cold. Yes, these were high school students and they were already veteran beer drinkers. They think the "age 21" drinking laws over here are absolutely insane.

They also asked us to turn our AC down. They all hated air conditioning. They also didn't believe in daily showers, underarm deoderant and not wearing the same clothes more than three days in a row.

Weird how different cultures can be.

You should have sent them down here to central Florida in August 2004 after Hurricane Charley came through. They'd have "gotten religion" on those right quick!
