Greats from the East of East Germany
Hello everybody. Greats from Germany!
First: This forum is really great!
I was not sure, wether I could write a in here. I'm sorry, if its wrong.
Also sorry for my wroten English, my skills are only school based and today I had my first lesson "English for special purposes"  . (my English skills are mostly from YT-Vids an Websites in English - like this)
My name is Tommy, I'm 19 y.o. and I live in Radebeul (the home town of Karl May, the autor of the "Winnetou"-Tales ).
It's a town between Dresden and Meißen (home of the European Porcelain^^) in Saxony.
I live there, because of doing an apprenticeship as a chemistry laboratory assistant (right? In German it's "Chemielaborant").
The German members might know me from versuchschemie.de oder illumina-chemie.de
My hometown is Löbau 20km west of Görlitz - the most eastern city of Germany - and 20-25km away from border to the Czech Republic an respectively
Poland.
There I did my first steps as hobby chemist, when I was 12 or 14.
I'm mostly interested in synthetical chemistry (right?), process engineering, "designing" special lab glass, laboratory automation and technical
chemistry.
When I knew, that I was really serious interessted in chemistry, I descieded to make an apprenticeship as an chemistry laboratory assistant.
I hope I could find some new ideas in here, learn to write/speak a better English, and maybe I could even help somebody.
Greats Final!

Quality schools.
Obviously only opinion, but I grew up with a friend from Germany and he used to laugh at much of the subject matter in schools in the USA. Germany
also has had an appreciation for the 'hard sciences" and German was the "language of science" through much of recent history. Britain had a wonderful
history of science as well.
It only makes sense that the colonies don't get as focused as the powers that colonized them as their history is shorter in academia. Italy had it's
share of science and inventive genius. But if one were to examine countries that had maintained a colonial interaction with the "parent" country, they
are occasionally underdeveloped. The UK and the USA as well as Portugal and Brazil are unique in that respect. But Somalia / Italy and some smaller
countries in South America and Germany are alternative examples.

Thank you a lot, gsd!
@AndersHoveland:
I think there must be some hobby chemists here in Germany, because here are living about 82 million people .
But here are many reprisals, too. Our politicians are very "hysteric" and most of them have no idea of chemistry, but a lot fear of explosives, drugs,
terrorism and so on (I think you know, what I mean :mad.
Greats Final!
