When I was in college I had the opportunity to go to West Germany. Did I just age myself??  I was 26 at the time and studying music. I had signed up for this stay just to impress my German professor. But, thanks to the bombing of Frankfurt International airport, one student dropped out. The other person who was going had to stay home, for his Mother had gotten ill. So, it was up to me.  I said yes, though my German sucked big time. Off I went.....and what a great year it turned out to be. One of the main differences is the German women compared to American women. While there, I had many women just look me over. Like a piece of meat you might say. I am by no means a stud, but I enjoyed them checking me out. "Did I pass your inspection, miss?" "Oh! You're an American?!" Yeah , the good ole days.
