Today I got to thinking about trust and mistrust.
In a conversation today, someone punched me in the face by saying, "I don't know whether I can trust you or not",... a few minutes later it is all the other way round and I find out I cannot trust the people who surround him. Well, that is not his fault but it still leaves a bitter taste.
How do people drag out the worst of all ways to behave around you and go behind your back, stab you and then not even have the guts to tell? Wow, that was a hard day and for sure made my believes in the good of everyone a little less strong.
There I am, thinking we all want the same thing. To get everything done in the best possible way and here I am today, knowing that there are always two sides to the medal and obviously not both sides want the same thing.
What does it matter now? The trust is gone. And it won't come back that easily - trust me.

Thoughts about Bush and his relationship to the Americans
Hi,
last night I was searching Amazon.com in order to find a calendar to bring back with me from NYC - where I will be going to for three days at the end of August. Well, I found lots of calendars that were named like "Goodbye George, a daily calendar", "2008 George W. Bush Out of Office Countdown Wall Calendar",...
None of the Germans have seen the movie "Man of the year" that heads into the same direction. Robin Williams is a comedian who runs for president and accidently gets elected due to an error in the computer-supported voting system. Does that remind you of something?
Having been in the US in May, I found lots of Anti-Bush stickers on cars and most Americans can't wait for him to leave. The stickers are simple like a crossed W, but also "I am not anti-Bush, I am pro-intelligence", "someone else for president" or "09_01_20, his last day".
Wow, I would have never thought that after he has been reelected those people who accidently (?) voted for him a second time - or was it an error in the computers? - were getting their senses back before he left the White House in 2009.
Pink! wrote a great song: Dear Mr. President. Wow, these lyrics really bring it to a point. How can he sleep at night when the rest of the Americans cry, how is he explaining the unreasonable death of a son in Iraq to his mother, would he not love his daughter if she were gay?
The best Anti-Bush commercial I have seen though was the Connecticut welcomes you sign on I-84 though. The sign had an addition that said: We apologize.
For those of you who don't know, George has been born in New Haven, CT.
What else is there to say? I am excited to get to Atlanta in November to check the American South and there obvious opinion on him since I have only been in the democratic North East to see how they do. As I recall though, Amazon.com is being used by Republicans also. :)
Cheerio!

A regular Sunday night in Ingolstadt
After having abandoned that blog for such a long time, well, not having written again after the Ben and Jerry's incident a few months ago, I want to tell about another discovery: Snapple lemonade in Ingolstadt Village, the American kind shopping outlet close by. So things in Ingolstadt don't look as bad anymore American food wise.
But the best thing that happened to me in the past week, AYUSA offered me to accompany exchange students on their trip to the States in August. 90 kids, two AYUSA employees... Of course I said yes, begged at my brandnew job to get the days off and there I go - Aug 22-25 to New York City... this is the best city anyway. :)
Try to write more often from now on.
Take care
