Then they found the grocery stores.
Five of them within one mile.
Each one the size of an aircraft hangar.
Burgers. Steaks. Brisket. Ribs. Pulled pork. Lamb. Veal. Every cut of every animal ever domesticated by human civilization available in one refrigerated aisle at ten in the morning on a Tuesday.
The Germans stood in the meat section for forty five minutes.
In silence.
Processing.
They finally understand why we do not have trains.
We have roads wide enough for the cars we actually drive.
Parking lots the size of small European countries.
Airports in every city worth visiting.
A few things are pretty dumb/fake here.
The grocery store I shopped at in Germany was about the same as the grocery stores I shop at in Texas. The idea that Germans would be awed by a meat counter is dumb.
The idea that they'd be impressed with our roads/highways is dumb, as Germany has very nice highways, largely nicer/better than ours. Same goes for airports for the most part.
