On my way to LA (Part 2)
I had a severe deja vu when I arrived at LA.
- I got a white colored rental car, that looks like a racing car, but driving feels like riding on a snail. I always get that car. BTW: Why are white cars so popular in the US? In Germany they are so rare that manufactures could probably remove white color from the pricelist. It makes me sick to see white Mercedes', Audis or (even worse) BMWs.
- After arriving at the hotel I went accross the street to get something to eat. I ordered something and the employee immediately asked me where I came from. I responded something like "From Munich, the sunny capital of Bavaria, Germany - home of the Octoberfest and BMW" and after that the conversation continues always like the following:
- the person talks german to me
- the person tells me he has been in Germany for holiday
- the person has been in Germany with the military
- the person has a relative/friend living somewhere near Munich
- the person asks, if it's true that everybody in Germany drives like hell on the Autobahn
Amazing! That kind of people seem to be waiting for me in every bar or restaurant throughout the US 
According to my internal statistics at least 98 percent of all americans have been in Germany and most of them also in Munich. Is that to be true?
