Stories from a Great Country

This is a collection of stories from a great country- the United States of America. Basically, it is a write-up of the things I encountered while staying in the US all through the year 2003. To be precise, me and my wife Michaela lived in Florham Park, New Jersey, from Dec 17, 2002 to the end of 2003.

In essence there are stories that a European person finds noteworthy on being absorbed into the American way of life. Americans might therefore be surprised about what I find interesting and noteworthy, and it might also give them some fresh perspectives of their own lives. I would be very interested in receiving comments from all kinds of people, Americans living in America or abroad, other cultures living in America, or people who have never visited North America and the US at all so far.
