#1 Leipzig and Dresden are former Östdeutsch cities. I wonder if there are more of this sort of thing going on in those parts of Germany than in cities like Frankfürt, München and Hannover?

#2 Ima guessing there aren't too many Muslims in Schweinfürt, which translates to 'Pig's Crossing'. I visited there back in January 1987, and it wasn't that far away from the East German border. I was walking through some woods and almost got my ass shot off by US Army patrolling the area. Never had multiple M-16's pointed at me! They were nice guys, and 'escorted' me out of the restricted area. Call it halfway to a deathwish - I just wanted to see The Wall.

Lesson learned - young, drunk and stoopid is no way to travel through Germany, son.
