In the past when I have been to Germany I have not found the people exactly warm or fuzzy. Quite the opposite. While I wouldn't call them warm here and now they are definitely less gruff and sometimes downright nice. I don't know if this is true in Germany generally these days or if it is just in this area with the base and so many Americans around. But is has been a pleasant surprise. They also have improved on their hygiene. It used to be that you could smell people as they walked by on the street. But now, they are using deodorant!!
I don't see as many tattoos. Evan at the spa where I could see lots there were very few tattoos. And the rare person who had one had one fairly small one. And there were lots of young people at the spa too! Also many of the girls and women (of all ages) have streaks of magenta in their hair. It looks odd. One doesn't think, "Wow, she went to some chic hairdresser and did this exotic thing." It is more like, "Why does she have this blob of color on the side of her head? Did she let her 8 year old do it to her?" A group of 6 or 8 women in their 40's and 50's will be sitting around a table and they will all have this magenta thing going on. It is interesting.

I've been seeing that blob hair color thing around here too? Why? At least I've put the bright red hair color all over my head! How chic am I? Many of your pics could be printed and framed as art - maybe you can be a professional photog in your next life?
