One Month in Dresden

I've been living in Dresden for over a month now. Time is flying. Here are a few things I've come to appreciate about living here:

• Great public transportation 
• Delicious, inexpensive beer 
• Many different kinds of juice & jam 
• Huge variety of inexpensive dairy products 
• Excellent electric hot water kettles 
• Rooibos tea everywhere 
• German drivers use their signals 
• Vegetarian food isn't too hard to find 
• Germans are pretty quiet 
• Beautiful gardens and flower boxes 
• Can recycle almost everything 
• Bread! 
• Chocolate! 
• People enjoy walking outside on the weekends 
• Pretty birds and waterfowl, surprisingly tame 
• Wildflowers along the road and in empty lots 
• Funny kids - very cute and quite serious 
• Kid-friendly environments 
• Clean air & water 
• Clean streets
