The World

So in the last month it feels like I have been all over the world (Denver, Portland, Boston, Iceland, Germany, Bel Air, Forest Falls and back again). Now I know this isn't the WHOLE world but it certainly is a lot of traveling especially for someone who HATES flying.
Here's what have I learned.
1. Denver is a desert (or at least feels like one in the summer) and only white people live there.
2. Portland is a greener Denver with really good French coffee.
3. Boston is cool in the city but could use a facelift by the airport.
4. Everyone in Iceland speaks English.
5. If you make a stopover in Iceland on the way to Europe you are never more than an hour away from land during the flight.
6. German people love using ski poles without snow.
7. There are a lot of Bon Jovi cover bands in Frankfurt.
8. Hefewiesen in Germany tastes NOTHING like it does in the states...it is amazing!
9. If you want to be accepted in Germany you have to own a BMW, Mercedes, or Audi even if you are poor.
10. I am happy (I can't believe I am saying this) to live in LA. Even with all the smog, traffic, lack of greenery, and shallowness...I can still get any ethnic food I want any time of the day served by people from the country of origin.
