It was an interesting experience to celebrate the 4th of July out of the country for the first time. And actually it's a lot more fun, aside of the fact that there aren't really any nice fireworks, just some bootleg firecrackers.
When you live abroad, especially in a country where you aren't fluent in the main language, you tend to cling to your nationality for identity. I mean, I don't think people are normally as excited about the 4th as we were. It also sort of becomes special, because not everyone is doing it.
We all ended up having a BBQ at the Isar. Was lots of fun to run around in the sun drinking beer covered in American flags. Best of all, there were plenty of British people there,so I had many chances to wave my tiny American flag in their face and yell you suck! :D
