When i was in college i had an East German friend and a West German friend. From totally different planets lol. East German wanted to find a cobler to new soles on some worn out 'payless' shoes that cost 5 bucks, always wanted to buy my groceries on his (parents?) credit card so i would give him cash, and would often call me early in the morning to ask me to drive him places. For example, one morning he called at 6am wanted me to drive him to Washington DC so he could take the graduate test. He had to be there by two pm.. google maps indicates a 6.5 hour drive so maybe it was just barely possible... But there was no google maps back then and my opinion was that there was no way in hell it would be possible.

The west german friend was low maintenance. Lol
