I been to Germany several times now. It is a very nice country. I was there first for Christmas in 2002, and since I passed through it on the way to other places and visited friends. I like to visit Germany, but I'm not sure it is a country I would like to live in. It is too organized. In 2010 I was in Germany a couple times. In May I spent a couple days near Koln and in September I visited some friends in Berlin.
