Germany v. U.S.A. v. Poland

Over the past two weeks we have had a chance to experience two vastly different parts of Europe. We have drawn some preliminary conclusions about each experience, in relation to our lives in the United States.

Pros for Germany:
--highly efficient public transportation
--conscious of conserving energy (i.e: escalators that turn off when not used and light turned off in hotel hallways)
--museums and monuments remembers the past (even the ugly parts)
--Free health care
--Free education (higher education)
--Our Germans (Uli, Lisa, and Nadine)

Pros for Poland:
--unisex bathrooms
--casinos in city centers
--Zubrowka and Apple Juice
--Pierogis
--Multi-lingual youth
--Palaces
--Fur Coats

Pros for U.S.A:
--capitalism
--2 ply paper products
--Warm weather (big bonus)
