Included Are some truisms and suggestions that both american to atoned in this Beautiful country and tourists visiting Here should know about our hosts. Customer Are normally the main focus of attention by smiting sales personnel and cashier in the states. I Germany Inch sensitivity to customers parting with their Money is not a commonplace. Imagine your reaction Back Home if after having your groceries rung up at the checkout counter they were brusquely pushed out of the Way by an expressionless cashier whose Only apparent aim it to make room for the next person s groceries. No bag Fork up 10 pfennig suggestion learn to bag fast while Smil ing. Develop the Fine Art of gracefully popping your Toyota into Neutral White being passed by supersonic Mercedes on the autobahn. This Way you can save a Smidgen of Gas by having your car virtually sucked along in the powerful aerodynamic drag created by this close encounter of the Ger Man kind while on your sunday excursion on the autobahn Don t be revolted upon observing one of our Host performing a bodily function in Broad Daylight on the Lide of the mad.

Since that Day there have been Many false leads Many hours and tears put into the search for Sarah.
