A heavy dose o' Culture

Needless to say i am getting a heavy dose of culture here in Germany. We will be/are working with yet another country here at Hohenfels, Germany. This is the Slovenian Flag. They are also heading to Kosovo the same time we are. I have been learning Albanian, Serbian, Croatian and now Slovene languages in order to communicate with our allies. Its been interesting the say the least trying to talk to another nation's soldier without butchering their language...It is nice though getting to talk to and train with other soldiers. Get to experience folks from other nations and teach them what i know and they teach us what they know,....a little international interaction is always a good thing...Slovenia is one of the many countries to come from the break up of the old Yugaslavian "empire"...hence why they speak a Serbian-Croatian type of language..the "slavic" languages if you will...I'll try and get some pics of my new friends here...i've been trading american cigarettes for language lessons...maybe i'll trade a pack of smokes for some good pics...hope everyone is doing well..talk to you guys later.
