Das Bier
ist sehr gut hier. Ich solle wissen. Ich bin jezt wohnen in Deutschland. Mehr Bier bitte!
On another note, I have noticed that Europe is pretty close to North America when it comes to the size of the people.

i think if i ate like we did there last month every day
i would definately have a weighty problem. we were
yelled at, at every meal, for not cleaning our plates.
waiter: “was there something wrong with the food?”
us: “nope, it’s just way too much food”

The food ain’t bad either. I would not mind some Jagerschnitzel about now. And that beer to wash it down.

When I stayed in Germany for 6 weeks in 2000 working for my company and the German Air Force, I gained 20 pounds, most of which was beer!........ Now I know what Bier Gut means!........(Pun in two lanuages!).......
