He he already made it back to the states sometime ago (I'm from Massachusetts).
Had great time though hanging out with buddies of mine in Berlin.
The population is kinda....old though, no offence I was just shocked as how many old people could be seeing walking down the streets or simply walking in the parks

It's a fact that the average German is getting older. And there are not enough children any more to preserve our being as a nation.

That's true and unfortunately applies to most West-European nations (except France and Ireland to name two). They don't care about children - what a madness.

However, what Javacooldude noticed is another thing IMHO: in Germany (male) people enter pension with 65 years and they've plenty of time then. Since the health system has been improvment over the last decades it's no wonder you see many older people walking the parks these days. Usually the younger people have to work during daytime. ;-)
PS: The lady living next to my apartment is 96 years old and fit. She walks to the park daily. God bless her.

I lived for two years 30 km north of Frankfurt in Friedberg.  Frankfurt is a beautiful city.  I loved living in Germany; all the fest, the beer, the public transportation, the beautiful girls, the old castles, the beer....

There is a statistic that in the US that the average life expectancy has increased by something like 6 years in the past 10 years.  Imagine if that rate continues, we will all be around for quiet some time...  So if you retire at 65 and you can expect to live to 100+  I hope you have a good pension!  At those types of timelines is when investing in the markets really pays off.
