I loooooove Germany! (Sarcasm)

As you may or may not have noticed I mention it quite a lot that I love my home country and that it is the best anyway.

I did not really notice not some people seem to be affected by that until a friend told me the other day. So I really want to clarify this: Yes, I do like my country, but I mean it more as a joke. I´m being sarcastic (I know this is the hard part to understand).

I think it just seemed to me as natural that I would mean it as a joke, but I forget sometimes that most people here didn´t grow up in an environment where you have no national proud at all. This may seem weird to you but most European and especially Germans are not proud of their country like Americans. And if then there are most likely not going to show it the way I did (in saying Germany is the best). If this is the case I would definitely double check that it is really meant that way.

I never meant to make fun of the US, because it is a recession or even depression. Germany is too and one thing is for sure Germany is not the place of heaven and if it was I would never have come over here.

So please keep in mind: I am being sarcastic a lot (even if you see no sense just take it as what it is).
