I was having a chat with an American friend of mine about how English people (and I'm guessing other Europeans too) and American people see time very differently because of the way it's treated in their countries generally. I see 100 years as a blink, she sees it as an eternity.

In all my travel to Berlin, I've never met a German who has even entertained the idea of learning Czech and Prague is a beautiful city closer to Berlin than I am to Philadelphia.

Oh I love Prague! But yeah, the language thing is a problem, particularly in England where the mindset is generally "everyone will, or should, speak English". The system for teaching foreign languages at school here is awful, and it shows.
