(On that note, commas and periods are swapped for price markings here in Germany. So what we would write as €1,234.56 , the Germans write €1.234,56 . You might or might not have known that.)
And happy First Post in the Three Digit Figures on The Deutschland Blog to me. By the way, how was America today? I didn't see the inauguration and all that. I'm sure I'll feel the surging tsunami soon here in land-locked Bavaria from the gargantuan gush of emotion that the entire country is probably spewing today. Calm down, half of you will be ridiculing his every move in a few months before you even know it.
Oh! But I guess one more thing, since I'm on the topic, and I've watched this video a dozen times because I find it so amusing (and made with a lot of time and hard effort):

It was awesome. Just... sitting in the student center and seeing all of these college students CARING so much.... it was amazing. If nothing else, Obama is very good at making people optimistic. I'm excited to see what happens.
Hm, that is pretty inspiring - that that many students would care. I mean, besides 6-month-olds, we're usually very nearly the next most apathetic group, right?
Everyone is so excited. I'm usually pretty skeptical of politicians of any kind, but... I do hope he does well.
I saw a FB status from a friend in California the other day that said, "Good riddance, you son of a Bush." ;)
That's the thing that actually gets me, that people are so ah... "hopeful." It's good because it is really what is needed right now in this country, people that care. I am not sure I trust the guy (he is a politician, after all, and I don't agree with a lot of his agendas), but it's still good that he is the kind of man that can make people care about their country. That's very inspiring.
Agreed. The fact that he is changing the motivation level is something significant in itself, at least. Even if they are all still dirty politicians one way or another ;) .
