thank you north american labour rioters for tag der arbeit

no, seriously, it’s awesome. Mailauf

wow, i have been busy.

since i’ve started working full time (for no money), i’ve been traveling every weekend. two weekends ago I went to Freiburg to visit friends and go sledding, last weekend i went to Düsseldorf and Köln for Karneval, and this weekend i’ll be visiting my uncle and his family in Zürich to go skiing! I’m pretty excited but i have never been so thoroughly busy.

I made it back from Berlin and had an incredible time there. Nothing like spending a week with friends in a world capital.

train leaves tomorrow at 6am

Stuttgart to Berlin Hbf! It’ll be my first time in Berlin and I’ll be seeing all of my American friends for the first time since Oktoberfest (and for half of them the first time since July). I am so excited to do something new.

Inside of the Stuttgart Stadtbibliothek at Mailänder Platz - I am so glad I get to go here any day of the week.

you know your German hostparents don’t like your haircut when…

they say, ‘Wow, you could pass for a Turkish man…’

Deadly German House Party Drinking Games:
  • drink every time you hear the song ‘Danza Kuduro’.
  • drink every time someone says, ‘GEIL!’
  • drink every time a female says, ‘du Süße!!’

Will I survive this New Year’s Eve party? Probably not.

the best part about germany

is that you can get places. a few hours ago i decided to visit freiburg, a city which is about 2 hours away from Stuttgart and rather close to the french border and strasbourg. i got some books, a jacket, and a bottle of wine and put them in my day-pack, and tomorrow i’ll get up, take the bus into stuttgart, and hop on a train, westbound. i’m meeting with one of my best friends, so we can celebrate our own little christmas together. at the end of the day, it’s just another train ride home. the ability to travel without a personal vehicle is completely wonderful.

It’s snowing here in little Grötzingen.
