Deutsche Tastatur (German Keyboard)

I see the Z & Y reversed. Besides that, not much different for the letters anyway. So, since you don't look at the keys, are they z & y reversed when you use them or is it standard? I would have thought that it would have all of those weird "accent" symbols, because I think the German language uses them.

At one time, my dad tried to type in Hungarian on an American keyboard. IIRC; I walked him through installing a language pack (he didn't live up the street then). I remember waking up one morning and my computer was in Hungarian Thankfully, somehow I remembered where the setting was, and was able to change it back without knowing the Hungarian language...

I'd go nuts if the brackets weren't where they normally are since I usually type the BB code out instead of using the thread tools. I guess you have to push a key on to use them?

The Accented Keys are where the ;'[ are on the American keyboard. I have it set as an American Keyboard so it types out like it's American. I don't use that computer/keyboard to post on forums, or do much typing at all, so it doesn't matter too much. If I do need to know which key is which, I just look at one of the other keyboards to remind me real quick.

Budapest Hungary is my favorite city in the whole world. The Hungarian People are also very nice, unlike some of the other European Countries (France).

Yeah I don't get that Stores name either, but it looks exactly like Best Buy.

Yeah, I had a blonde moment and was too lazy to change it after hitting submit. Pretty sure you said you didn't really use the computer lol

Never been there. Would like to meet my dad's brother but it will probably never happen. My dad never went back to Hungary after escaping; he was afraid he'd be jailed or killed for leaving.

Thankfully, a little like home.

How long did it take you to get used to their money?

Depends where you go in France.
Northern France people are known for being not very nice, while the southern France people are all the opposite.

Nope they are pretty much all jerks. Been all over that country, and they are all pretty damn rude. Some of the smaller towns they are a little nicer, but for the most part they aren't.

Germany is a lot more like the United States then you might think. Often times forget I am even in a different country.

I have lived all over, so using foreign currency isn't anything new to me. The Euro is very similar to the Dollar. For Example at McDonald's a Meal will cost you $5.50 in the states, in Europe it will cost you 5.50 euro. You just have to get used to the exchange rates.

Shame I didn't get surgery there, sounds like I would have liked it.

Weird, maybe they got something against germans, I dunno. :P
I've been there too, and not to get into details but I was drunk and partying every night without ever spending an euro.
Gotta say though they totally like french Canadians, for their accent (no joke), so maybe that helped my case.
