Sachen I haben in Deutschland erlernt

I have learned a couple of very important facts already this week.

  1. Fact number 1: Checking the apache.org site out of SVN takes a looooong time.
  2. Fact number 2: People are jerks everywhere.  While having CurryWurst and Orangina at the Cafe, some pretentious German 20-somethings began making fun of my quite noticeable disease.
  3. Fact Number 3: I finally identified why I hate coming to Europe.  Once here I never want to leave.  Everything about Europe suits me better than America.  It is very distressing.

Well that is it for now, I need to get back to the hackathon, be sure to check out the Flickr Tag Page for ApacheCon Europe 2005.

    Fact #2: Sad but true. At first I was going to write about how I was ashamed of my fellow countrymen blabla, but as you said very correctly, people are jerks *everywhere* so why should any country be an exception to that rule. Sorry to hear about your disease, I wasn’t aware of that although I’ve been a »lurker« on your site for a while.

    S’okay guys. I have dealt with this all my life it is just easy to think that here in Europe which in many ways, is more civilized and “gentile” that I could escape the joke-making.
