Three Years in a Foreign Country!!!??

Overview

Quote:
In Koln, Germany. Not too far from Mainz, there are castles, GALORE. Beautiful place! We lived on a Military Base in Mainz. It soon got turned over to the Germans. So we moved to a place called Bad Kreuznacht.

Quick Tips:

When you live on a military base, and you leave the base, it is like two different worlds. Learn to speak basic German. Learn to ask for a toilet.(toilette) and what time it is! Also, learn the euro rate. When I was there, the currency was still marks and fennigs, not anymore.

Best Way To Get Around:

There are shuttles near army bases, that you can take around. Cheap, and reliable.
