Becks Gold vs. Gold Belt

Things I like about Germany:

Bretzel - This fine piece of essen is the most tasty fresh out of the oven, with lots of salt and a coffee to go (usually around 1 p.m. when you leave the house for the first time going to class).

Schnitzel - Best eaten only once per month, or you end up feeling like a slab of fried pork. Best served with Bratkartoffeln (another favorite), this menu staple is always a sure bet.

Sinupret Forte - Kind of like Sudafed, except it could cure a cold in a 400 lb Gorilla. I can't even count the number of times this stuff kept me from keeling over dying from sinus infection.

Beer - No explanation necessary.

Nivea Creme - I am convinced this stuff could cure cancer if we only tried.

Things I do not like about Germany:

Euro Jeans - This is a severe example of what I see here in Europe, but you can also take parts of these jeans above, maybe add them to the hem, some sparkles on the side. Don't forget to hang them at the top of your ass and wear untied tennis shoes with them. I am in bad jean mecca.

Leberkaese - I'm not quite sure what it is, but I don't think the words "Liver" and "Cheese" should under any circumstances be in the same word. It's always on special here, gee, wonder why.

White Boots - The arch nemisis of any fashion forward woman. For extra effect, sometimes they are covered in gold flecks, sparkles, rhinestones, or have a steel heel. Usually worn over Euro Jeans (see above) and gold belt (see below).

Radler Beer - You would think that any sort of beer from Germany would be good, which is usually the case. Not this stuff though, it's a refreshing mix of beer and....cola. If you're lucky and feeling adventerous, I've also seen it in orange cola flavor.

Gold Belt - What woman's wardrobe isn't complete with a cheap gold belt to match your gold purse, gold headscarf, big gold earrings, acid wash jeans and white boots.
