March 31, 2001:

I have not written anything for a while, but I do not think anyone has noticed.  First of all, I have been writing this diary for my own future pleasure, so I have been keeping up even though no one else seems interested.   After a year in America, I have discovered that the country is one of the least interesting places I have ever been.  In terms of culture, it is a primitive version of Europe.  You may find more ethnic minorities here, but they are basically watered down Americans who do not know anything about their culture of origin.  The "Asian-Americans" on campus, for example, arrange Asian parties where nothing but American rap music is played.  Most African Americans were obviously brought here against their will, but do now have an amusing tendency to search for their roots.   This is mainly done by inventing names that sound African, but that does of course not help anyone rediscover their continent of origin.

Additionally, dressing well is considered a sin.   Americans believe that jeans, sneakers and white socks can be worn every day.   No one is able to use a fork and a knife at the same time, and the fork is used as a shovel, not as a fork.  Since Americans have no culture, people see no need for free time as they would not know what to do with it anyway.  The weekly U.S. average work week among manufacturing workers is 37,7 hours and rising.  In Germany, it is 30 hours and has been falling for a long time.

I promised myself to not post any more babes, but the one to the left came into my life with a smile.  We met the other day while I was out shopping, and she invited me for a barbecue.  I think I got a great picture of her, and it is certainly a good way to loose weight. Sam took the picture to the right, and I think I look really good in front of my door.  Some of my hot women are posted for the viewing pleasure of my fellow dorm cellmates.

It has been pretty cold recently, and I recently took this picture outside my college dorm.  We have had several snow storms, but classes have unfortunately not been cancelled even once.  A UPenn professor from California was told before moving to Philadelphia that the city would remind him of Europe.  When he arrived here, he thought that was correct, but only when compared to Berlin of 1945.

Finally, I do again want to encourage you to send me good pictures.   Remember that I can count my friends on an amputated hand, and that emails cheer me up like nothing else.  My feedback form is also available, though it seems to be even less popular than my guestbook.
