1. No, you won't die*g*
Right now it's cold (approx. 3 - -3° C), dry and sunny. A hat/cap, maybe gloves and scarf if you expect running around anywhere in the evening when it's colder.

No idea what adavan, vicodin, flexerol are, but we can drink our tap water here, public toilets are mostly clean, and we do have excellent medical care in case you're worried ;)

Are you the person that's supposed to arrive at Frankfurt airport Thursday 10.45 a.m. with a three hour layover, btw?

3. Hello neweurope
:hi:

thought about you these days and told myself "I better send her a pm to see how she is doing". I feel ashamed I didn't get around writing you.

:hug:

5. in fact i am
my momma called me about you earlier today

(adavan, flexerol and vicodin are all various types of prescription meds...i have anxiety problems and anything that knocks me out is my friend ;))

i've got the hat, scarf and gloves all ready to go and i'm not really afraid of tap water, but clean toilets are always good

2. here is the weather for Burbach
http://www.meinestadt.de/burbach-siegerland/rathaus/wetter

Burbach is about in the middle of Deutschland. How far north are you going?

It looks pretty cold there. Much colder than Kansas anyway. Perhaps not much colder than Wisconsin or New York.

4. You are going to be fine
just make sure to bring enough warm clothes. How long are you going to stay?

Is neweurope right and you arrive Thursday morning in Frankfurt? I live in Frankfurt. If you tell me you want to meet, I can take the day off and welcome you in Germany (maybe neweurope can come as well). Let me know.

7. I can't come on the 22nd
my boss isn't here and I am alone at the library in the afternoon. But I can take off Thursday. Let me check with neweuope if she would like to come as well this Thursday. I haven't seen her in a bit anyway.

So you are only staying a week? That is not very long. I know how you feel though. I come to the States in September and I feel like exploding already.

15. Soo.... looks like you'll have a welcoming committee
consisting of MissHoneychurch and neweurope:)

I'll make an extra effort to get up early (have to bring the horses their chamomile tea first, after all *g*)
Please PM me your flight number and name of company, and we'll be there :) Looking forward to it! I'll be easily recognized: Very short hair and a crutch. Misshoneychurch is the pretty dark haired one :)
