Two weeks ago, four of my blogs had a spiked of page views. When I checked my stats, the audience came mostly from Germany. The 10 to 20 fold increase in page views lasted for 4 days and it went back to normal ( 300 page views per day) for seven days. Yesterday and today, the unexpected spike in page views occurred in my three blogs and the audience is again from Germany . Is this for real or just a computer glitz? Anyway, I hope this is reality and if so thank you Germany and all of you my German readers. Because of this I decided to do some search about Germany and the following are a few interesting facts about Germany-Europe's largest economy. HERZLICHEN DANK!
