About 2 years ago after graduating college, I kind of randomly decided to pick up and move to Germany. I didn't have any particular reason other than it seemed more fun than getting an "ordinary" job in the US. So, here I am living as an american expatriate, slowly becoming more and more european. (I say that because "little" things like 50% taxes, $1000 drivers license, and $5 a gallon for gas don't bother me quite so much as they did at first ;-) (however the $15/month television tax still drives me up the wall!)
