Culture Schock and the Blonde Librarian

After almost two years in Germany, I stumbled upon a blog written by an expatriate who has managed to capture the general feeling of impotence and amused curiousity that invades those who, like myself, have been taken away from their place of origin and mingle among foreigners, and thus forever, or at least for the time being, bear the title of foreigners. I have really been touched and often wept and laughed with her posts, her adventures, her language dilemmas, as she strives to survive in Germany married to a German who has been born to foreigners. Sound familiar?
