do Deutsch Bus Spreads Message that "German is Wunderbar!"
Thank you to everyone across the United States who took part in our Spot the Bus campaign this spring and summer. Nearly 300 of you spotted the bright green bus covered in candy-colored German words, like “Bier,” “Wanderlust,” “Zeitgeist,” and “Mensch,” to name only a few, on the streets of Washington, DC, and online on the pages of Germany.info. Your great photos and stories show us how enthusiastic you are about the message: "German is Wunderbar!" The contest is now over, but please take time to enjoy this gallery of photos and the stories of the people who took them.
