U.S.A. - Germany
A - Z
what is alike and what is different
and what you have to know, if you move from one place to the other:
A � Altitude

If you come to visit Roswell, New Mexico, don�t be surprised, that it might literally take your �breath away�! Due to the high elevation it will take a while to adjust. So take it easy the first days and do not fret, it has nothing to do with you physical fitness.
A � Advertisement

It took for me quite a while to get used to medical Advertisements in Magazines and especially on TV. Per example: �This is the wonderful new Prescription-Drug XXYYZZ against High Blood pressure or for your red Blood cells after undergoing Chemotherapy. � Tell your Doctor about it.� � Heck, why didn�t the Doctor skip the University, because I will tell him what medication is good for me. And why do Americans have to pay so much for the Doctor?!!

What is nice in the States is that there are some TV Channels without Commercials. I wished they would have that in Germany. In Germany there are also no specialized Channels (besides private Movie-channels). I watch here most of the time the History and Documentary Channel.
