I decided last week that I needed a German-free weekend. I left to escape to the mountains and enjoy good ole 'Merika. And then there it was... Helen, Ga. An entire town modeled after Germany/Bavaria. My German-free bubble was busted, and busted in a big way. Nevertheless, I took full advantage and had a smooth, yummy German Weißbier and some authentic sauerkraut. nomnomnom
That got me thinking though... is it even POSSIBLE to have a German-free bubble?? Even disregarding the 47 million Germans I interact with from work, I began to wonder what other influences we feel in America from those crazy beer drinkin, 3-course sausage eating folks across the pond.
Mission: 24-48 hours in a German-free bubble in 'Merika.
To be continued...
1. Das Autos.
In order to exist in a German-free bubble, I have to first eliminate cars. BMWs, Mercedes, Porsche, Audi, and of course the pride of Chattanooga - the Volkswagen.
Try again...
2. Everyday sightings
Movie Theater:
(And yes, the Bavarians are a little bit nutty) =)
Restaurants:
Blitzkreig = German for "lightening war"
After drinking that shot, you'd be making some war with the toilet.
An edible German influence albeit misspelled, quite nauseating and no where near accurate...
