A "hello" from Linda...

Hohoho folks, here comes a christmasy “hello” from the German Santa Clause! Unbelievable, it´s nearly two years now that I left AutoCom and my “homecastle” on campus of Oakland University and as I could find out in the meantime from the blog there have been a lot of new faces coming to AutoCom during the past 24 months. It´s funny to read about the experiences of my followers which are almost the same I made when I was a “US-girl” for a transitional time… ;) What did I do when I returned back home – except missing you guys, the American traditions like Thanksgiving, shopping on Sunday, yummy donuts from Tim Hortons ;0)) etc…??

But Boston was just great. I fell in love with that city right away. It looks really European and is so much cleaner than New York :-). But nobody told me that arriving at the Boston Airport is such an adventure. You really think you will crash into the water. And I can tell you one thing: Your economy must have improved a lot after I went back to Germany. I shopped like there is no tomorrow :-
