I don't think they trust us.

I don't know who DW is, but maybe it's just the vibe DW carries?

Not so much on this trip, but primarily in French and German airports or train stations that have pay toilets, many times there are women in the men's room actively cleaning while everyone is doing their business.

It's not pleasant for anyone. They are basically clean but never have enough ventilation and smell like, well, an unventillated toilet. How anyone can stand more than 5 minutes is beyond me. To have to do it on a regular?

But the idea of women working in a men's space in the US is a money pit with the lawsuits writing themselves.

no wonder it stinks somebody sh t in it!

"Do you notice a lot of the women aren't wearing bras?"

My guess is bra's don't go well with their hairy pits.

The two are no longer paired like 1980. Evolution hit Europe like a...well, things have greatly improved since my service days.

Unfortunately, these days it's just an observation. I have too much to lose and I'm not even bilingual.

I toured Europe via the Army in the 70s.
We think that was the best time for Germany.
I had planned on going back and seeing some of the krauts I knew back them.
Not a flippin chance in HE double toothpicks I will ever go back.

Seeing mammaries on state TV was cool. Watching Bonanza in German was a gas.

Now we dont even go to CA any more. Same crap different continent.

Born and raised in California, Germany as a whole is much more middle America than it gets credit for. The leadership, like in most countries are the big problem. The people here take pride in their families, work and way of life. Frankfurt may be a little messy but you can safely walk the streets at 3am.

Obviously, gas and taxes are a problem. Tight gun control but I did ask a cop at the airport what he was wearing. Full auto MP5.
