Jonny Kahleyn – „Sissy Hyde“
Jonny: What’s your attitude towards Germany now?
Sissy: “I have always loved visiting Germany… even for extended times, but eventually I feel somehow restricted and therefore eventually get “Unbehagen” and uncomfortable…. I’m somehow too American to be German. But, then when I’m in America I’m too well educated in a well rounded way, including Politics and History, am orientated and driven, and so I am somehow in many ways too German to be an American. It’s a paradox, one can’t really do anything about a paradox… one must live with it…
And so I try to travel when I can; since last summer I have been feeling “die Wanderlust fuer’s Heimatland” again… I’m planning a trip back home for next year to refresh all the old senses again.”
