I spent a few days in Berlin last month, and must say the Germans are a wonderful people. My experience was probably enchanced by how most of the other countries I've visited during the last few years have been in Southern Europe, and a lot of things in those cultures annoy the heck out of me. I also looked similar enough to be mistaken for a local most of the time, which is always funny.
Sure their history for the last 60 years hasn't been the most glorious, but they've gotten over it remarkably well, and the rest of it is pretty intereting.
It's also nice how they have a somewhat low national self-esteem, and have thus agreed to learn English, something the French, Spaniards, and Italians have yet to do. =P
