"I'd rather write you emails than having a blog!" That's what I said before I came to the University of Memphis and took the communication class "Media 2.0" in Fall 2009. Now, this blog is my final project in that course. Here I will point out some cultural differences between Germany and America and give an idea about how I experience the college life in the United States. The blog should not only be interesting for my family and friends at home, but also for Americans who think about studying abroad or want to hear more about Germany and how I see the American world through European eyes.
