Or at least back from an eight year exodus to Germany anyway. Nice to see you guys didn't burn down the place while I was gone.
Maybe I will even see you in the servers soon.

Willkommen zurück, ich war in Deutschland seit sechs Wochen im letzten Sommer.

Nice, I miss it but USA is fun too. Which part did you visit?

I was eastern side just outside Dresden in a little silver mining town called Freiberg. Got to spend 3 days in Prague, Czech Republic which was amazing.

Nice, we used to go over that way pretty frequently. Autobahn roadtrips are usually pretty fun.

I was there over Bergstadtfest, was so much fun. Days and days of beer, food and parties.
31. Bergstadtfest Freiberg 2016

My wife was there singing the lead in Suor Angelica with the Freiberg Opera company and I got to play tourist. My best friend since 4th grade happened to be in Germany the same time at a flower expo and invited me over to Prague for a couple days during his vacation. We did weekend trips to Dresden and Berlin. Was so much fun, and so much culture. I did miss US internet

well, my Internet at the house was pretty good - 50mb DSL. But the first house we had there was awful, 2mb DSL. Most urban places in former West Germany have pretty good connection speeds. Most places in former East Germany have now upgraded from dial-up to ISDN
