How Many Americans Does It Take To Empty A Restaurant?

Last night we went out for dinner with Jeremy, and Doug who is visiting the guys from the Drexel University in Philadelphia. Doug used to be at the University of Minnesota, where he and Dan started working on several projects. They're now doing the whole long distance thing, which in this case, means Doug is visiting us in Bonn, on his way to a conference in another German city. 

The four of us had a really fun time at Macholds Brewery, complete with several beers, Schnitzel, and a lot of Christmas cheer. I can't say the same for our German counterparts, who we seemed to be driving away in droves. In Jeremy's own words, "I've never cleared out a room so fast." The place was packed when we arrived, but as the night went on it seemed we four were the only ones left in our section of the restaurant. 

Did we confirm the stereotype of the typical loud and obnoxious Americans last night? It's possible, but honestly, it was so nice to be in the company of our fellow Yankees, who understand our jokes, and even laugh at them once in a while. And I'd like to think we were loud, but not obnoxious, maybe just peculiar...
