That part of Germany is still hurting? I didn't know that. I have a brother-in-law stationed over in Germany (you know, in our military bases there because we STILL haven't left since WW2), and he told me Germany is great to be in.
I had no idea that the old East Germany part was still hurting. Here in the U.S. I remember reading how the economy had taken off when the wall came down. So much for "news" in the U.S.
