I can count things on my fingers, I can count them on my toes.

Days in Germany: 22 and counting

People Encountered From: German, Switzerland, France, Spain, Italy, Belgium, Latvia, Russia, China, Ecuador, Australia, Hungary, Cameron, Saudi Arabia, Syria, Mexico, Norway, United Arab Emirates, Brazil, Netherlands, Ukraine, and of course the U.S.A
Languages Spoken: German, English, and even a little Spanish.

Brats Eaten: Though little more than a glorified hot dog, I`ve more or less subsisted myself on brats and kartofelsalat.

Attempts at saying Mayonnaise with the proper German accent before being understood: 5 (it´s [mei´neize] not [´meiəneiz] ).

Encounters with people on the street claiming to be Prince Edward of Turkey: 1 and he also claimed that I was Prince Williams, even though I told him I´m not British.

Days of Class Left: 3


In the world of pictures, I visited the Netherlander town of Gronining (imagine you have serious case of phlegm in the back of your throat and are trying to cough it up. Thanks how to pronounce it). First we visited a Modern art museum, which had 1 or 2 painting of interest and a good 100 from a kindergarten finger painting class (I`m guessing). I did however bend the museums windows based kiosk to my will, and get it to play David Hasselhoff music videos off of google video.

Market. Guy in Red Shirt is King Loui of France, quite the character

Tower

So on and so forth. Tomorrow I have an Examination, so I must stop all this English and return to a German frame of mind.
