You will come! I'm on my way out now through Munich, but I had a great time. I'll be going back in a few weeks with Emily most likely.

Miss you tons,
Paul

Hmm... I wonder why the keys are switched like that.

It reminds me of when I was learning how to type in a Computer App. class and someone had switched around the N and the M keys by popping them off of the keyboard. It really screwed me up. ha ha.

There are lots of things changed, but most else is moving of punctuation (most all of it, actually). Different language you know. It wouldn't make sense for people to go through all the obscurities Windows requires for typing a ö or ä or µ or ß everytime they needed it. Then 'Z' is just used tons in German.

Today I visited the actual castle they use for filming Hogwarts too. They taught me elementary magic and now I can levitate.

That's so amazing. I remember when I went to Berlin in 1999, it was so unreal and contradictory (all the construction and next to it a museum that still has bullet holes in it). I remember sitting in the memorial at brandenburg gate, so incredibly sad.

Walking around Brandenburg gate did give me an unsettled feeling, but then there was a really cute girl in the Starbucks on the corner there. What'cha gonna do?

It was strange also to touch bullet holes the size of my fist at the base of the Siegessäule (aka: Golden Winged Victory, Pretty Angel Lady).
