There are still plenty of Amiga-action in Germany and eastern Europe.

You do know of:
http://www.amiga.com/
http://www.amiga.org/
http://amiga.nvg.org/ (<patriotism>local place</patriotism>)
http://www.geocities.com/CapeCanaveral/Lab/1473/faq.html (emulation FAQ)
http://www.freiburg.linux.de/~uae/ (UAE, claimed to be the best emulator)
http://www.aminet.net/~aminet/ (aminet, Amiga software, check the mirrors)
http://www.ann.lu/ (Amiga Network News)

For hardware, check german places, eBay and other auction sites. Plenty
of old hardware, plenty of new expansion-stuff to old hardware. There are
still dedicated magazines too, like AmigActive in English and several in
German.
