Hey everyone, sorry I haven't been keeping you updated on my German adventures. I have stuff from Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, and I'm going to do them in installments and post the pictures for each day separately, because I'm too lazy to edit all the pictures and then talk about them all in one day. So today, you get the Friday story.

So, I got my camera battery yesterday. Apparently, the people at the customs office thought that a whole camera had been bought by me from overseas and then shipped to me, and I was negligent in paying my import duties. That's the only reason I can think of for this to have happened. That, and the German bureaucracy. When they found out that I ( Read more... )

Just for future reference, for anybody who may be coming to Germany ever:

Note: The pictures are big.

( So be happy )

I just had another long talk about geopolitics with Edwin. I enjoy telling him about all the ways that America rocks. We have to change rooms today, and he said that maybe our other roommate is American. I certainly hope so. I enjoy foreigners' presence, but I wish that I could have another American to talk to. If only to say words like " ( Read more... )

I just sat for the last 2 1/2 hours or so with a bunch of South Americans having conversations inbetween Spanish and English. I also had a few beers with them-- Reudnitzers (1.5 liters total.. I think like 4.5 beers worth)-- and they just left for a Salsa club. It's interesting to talk to people who come from South America and only visit the U.S. ( Read more... )
