After taking a few weeks off to craft the "Jome Christmas Special" and to launch my new productivity book "Scary Fast Launch Assist", I'm finally circling back to the "Europe is Mostly Empty" project.

CHAPTER 8 - GERMANY (PART 2)

Our European travels may have begun in France, but they quickly moved on into Germany. Not Germany proper (with all of its organized thriftiness) but instead the dark & wooded corner (where organization gives way to shadows and thriftiness to cuckoo clocks).

The Black Forest was amazing.

You can imagine that before guns and artificial lights it would have been an imposing, if not terrifying, place to be. Full of wolves and bears and witches in Candy Houses designed to trap and eat children. (After you’ve been in Germany for a while you realize that Disneyland is just a cleaned up version of the Black Forest. If you don’t believe me, go back and watch Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, and Bambi. Things only shift to more of a “1950’s US National Forests” feel later when Mickey starts going camping and those two little chipmunks start stealing food from Donald Duck.)

Anyway, despite the regional variations you find in the countries you visit, there are usually a few key things that help tie them all together. This was also true of Germany, in a few different ways, but I’ll limit myself to just three:
