The autobahn has no billboards. Actually, the only place you really see billboards is in the city (in our case, the 'city' would be Kaiserslautern)
I don't ever remember how to close ellipses
Even when I am bombing down the autobahn at 160 there will be someone coming along behind me even faster, blinking lights to tell me to get my slow self OVER.
The dial tone sounds different here, I wonder if I'd even recognize a busy signal?

That was fun!! It's nice to get the weird little tidbits you're experiencing over there. Miss you lots, though. We should chat sometime.
Are the kids attending an American school?
Yes, the kids are in an American DODDS (department of defense dependents school) school. We're hoping that by next year they will have learned enough German to function in a local school, but we'll see!
Ok, you keep really putting my move to Canada in perspective. I hope you're not too lonely over there, and I'm glad we get to hear about it.
When my husband was in Germany, he kept thinking "einbahn" was the name of his street at first.
