The toilets here are a little bit odd. They're designed very shallow in the back, with the drain in the front, so that where a normal american toilet would fill with water much as soup in a bowl, only the drain fills with water, leaving a very small puddle in the rear of the toilet. This poses no real problem if you're going #1.. But as I've noticed, when one takes a shit, it sits there on this shelf in the back of the toilet devoid of water, as though to say to the person who left it 'Behold, I am your feces, reporting for inspection' .. Why? Why in the world would a toilet be designed this way? .. I can only picture in my mind's eye some weird obsessive compulsive person standing there staring at the toilet going 'Mmhmm, yes, decent texture, could use a little more fiber .. Hey! There's that corn I had last week!'
After vowing not to go see stuff and things I did basically exactly that.. The churches here are more plentiful than bathrooms, and I now avoid them like the plague. One thing that had seemed to garner quite a bit of attention here from what I'd seen and heard was the Stephandom, another gigantic church, which I had no particular interest in after being here for a week and getting a nice overdose of them, but I noticed that most of the U-Bahn lines converge around Stephansplatz, so I figured if there's any sort of shopping mecca here that I might procure a towel at, it'd also be there, and I was quite right.
I am now the proud owner of a towel in the Ralph Lauren BRIGHT FUCKING NEON ORANGE Collection, and I got some pictures of the church, too.. Which I was a bit surprised to find out doesn't look like every other church, at least not exactly. It's got a beautiful silver and black and gold and green(I think?) tiled roof, which I got some pictures of, and some red and blue and purple stained glass in the front of the church which was all lit up pretty when I went in and I hope the pictures turn out ok.. I bought some orange cake at a coffee shop across from it which was awesome, and rightly so for the size it was and the price of E2.60, and neglected to get any coffee, which looked pretty good, but I just wasn't feeling much like coffee.
I've mostly just been wandering around town, I stopped by the internet cafe here to see if I can possibly reserve a Hostel bed in Munich, but I doubt it, I hope that isn't a complete disaster.
I haven't been able to get many pictures of people with facial piercings, it seems like every time I see one it's at a very inopportune picture taking moment, like when I'm about to get off the Metro, or they are, or I'm getting on and they're getting off(heheh). You're just going to have to trust me that they're everywhere, women here also seem to be all about dying their hair, mostly red and pink, or maybe the pink was once red, who knows.
I was pretty frustrated with the picture taking, but then I realized there just isn't much I want to take pictures of here, it's nice, but it's nothing really extraordinary, it's more the culture than anything, and you can't get that with a camera.
I met a couple of guys playing a card game called Doppeldeutsche in the Hostel who seemed to be having a hell of a good time, and I'm intent on playing it, and figuring out how, first, of course. It seems to be based not so much around anything to do with the cards so much as bluffing like mad and talking a whole lot of shit. Thus, it seems like the game for me.
My iPod lacketh battery power, and as I recall the Hostel rooms are closed until 3 to clean them, and I have no power to charge it.. I'm almost out of money again, this country is a little bit pricey, stupid Euro.
I found you some snakeskin booty shorts, but it was E5 to buy em, and it seemed like a little bit much to spend on a joke, so I left em, heh.
DAS IST DIE ENDE.
Hmm, you know, if we misspell it teh, what would that be in german, dei?

Holy crap, the sandwich this guy just walked in with is .. amazing. Must go procure one for myself.
