As I have traveled the world and have been to every country from America to Korea, I can tell you positively that the best country in Europe is Germany. I spent four wonderful years there and I have been to Bremerhaven up north on the sea to Frankfurt the capital and Oldenberg, the most beautiful place you can imagine.

The town of Weisenberg:

I lived in Weisenberg for awhile and it is right out of the encyclopedia with its beauty. Weisenberg is the flower capital of Germany and I had fresh flowers all the time. They are so cheap and so beautiful. Imagine going to the florist and trying to choose from yellow roses, pink carnations, yellow tulips and purple daffodils. The color and the beauty is unimaginable. The lawns are all spewed with colors of the rainbows. Huge trees line the streets and the homes are immaculate.

The town of Bremerhaven:

Taking a ride to Bremerhaven through the wonderful countryside is breathtaking and then when you arrive at the water ferry to go into Bremerhaven, it is dreamy. Just like the movies, as you board your car on the ferry and sail across the water to arrive in the beautiful city of Bremerhaven. Many colors of rocks and cliffs line the passage and everyone goes to the edge to see the water splashing on the sides of the ferry. Of course no trip would be complete without a nice big cup of tea.

Germans just love to drink and be hospitable. When you go to their homes, there buffets are lined with liquors of every kind. It is considered a huge insult if you do not have a drink with them. You must accept their gracious hospitality. They have a wonderful drink called Strawberry Rumtoff. This is 1/3 jar full of fresh strawberries, 1/3 jar of sugar and the rest of course is rum. You place the jar in a dark cabinet to set up for two weeks. Then you pour some of this drink in a glass along with one or two strawberries. It taste like strawberry punch, until you bite into the strawberry. Then wow, the rum hits you full force. Those were the days that I remember there for sure.

The people are trusting and friendly and very helpful. They don't want any deposits or security, everything is done on trust. I remember once I did not have any money and I wanted to go shopping. A woman in the cafeteria handed my 100 dollars and said enjoy your day. I was shocked at her generosity. There was no mention of pay me back tomorrow or anything. When you go to have anything repaired, they don't ask for a deposit. It is all done on trust.
