I hope Rob and I can make it there someday. Re: Germany?! That sucks! Why couldn't they just be honest and say, "Sorry, we need to send so-and-so because... " So you've never been then? It's definitely a place to put on your "Must Visit" list! And don't ever apologize for writing to much in a comment! Not a problem at all! :D @Topher – Cool! I hope Rob and I can make it there someday.

I was also there in high school as an exchange student. I love that place, but I haven't been back in about 12 years. I was also THIS close to going to Germany for some training with work a few years back, but my director told me at the last minute they couldn't find the $$ in the budget and I couldn't go. I told a co-worker my bad news a few days later and he said "What? Really? That's weird because she just called me in about an hour ago and asked if my passport was current because there was a last-minute opening in the workshop in Germany and I leave next week." OH I WAS SO.DANG.MAD. Sorry, that's more than you asked, but I thought I'd mention my only almost-been-to-Germany story. @xgravity23 – I was in Japan for two years as a missionary for my church (The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints).

What did you do there? I wouldn't mind a nice, frothy root beer float right now. Mmm... It is available here, but it tastes different. Since this DP came from a military base, it's all American! Thanks for rubbing it in Topher. *humph* Well, I hope you enjoyed <i>your</i> caffeine-free Diet Dr. Pepper. I'll enjoy another DP in about a week, I guess. *sigh* @Topher – I didn’t know you lived in Japan! What did you do there? I wouldn’t mind a nice, frothy root beer float right now. Mmm…

When I lived in Japan, I would stock up on root beer whenever I'd get by the international market in the heart of the embassy district. I'd ration them out as long as I could. I don't care for root beer anymore; nope, it's caffeine-free Diet Dr Pepper for me. Didn't know they make caffeine-free Dr P products, did ya?! It's the BEST! I'll think of you next time I have one (in about an hour from now with my lunch). Am I safe in assuming that you can’t find Dr. Pepper at the local market in Germany?
