Kitchens and Monsey

I've seen quite a few apartments now in Germany, and I've seen pictures of kitchens from other places around Europe and I've gotta say.....they all look the same! Not in the sense of the layout, but whats in them. There are several important "kitchen items" in a European kitchen that you just don't see in the States. For starters, every one has a juicer. Not an electric one either, a hand one. Everyone has a magnetic strip on the wall, about a foot long, where they keep all the different cooking knives. I've found this very handy. Everyone keeps there cutting board and bread knife out all the time and in a very accessible area. Everyone has a coffee maker, but they're not like coffee makers back in the States either. They're pressure coffee makers (I think this is why the coffee tastes so good) and they're either electric or stove top. More kitchens here have gas stoves than electric stoves. Ummm, yeah so thats what I think about that.

I also wanted to say something about the film I saw last night. It was called Seaview and is one of the best films I've seen so far. Both the films I had to see yesterday were the best so far. Last nights film was a documentary in the traditional sense about an asylum and refugee seeker center. It used to be a former vacation center called Seaview in Ireland, but now is the home of about 800 persons seeking asylum in Ireland and was renamed Monsey. Anyways, just wanted to note on that. I'll be putting my reviews up in a few days. You could google or youtube the films I've seen to read descriptions, see samples, or whatever when I've got the names up.
