So, it's 5pm "my" time, 10am Chi time. Spent the day with my room mate from Scotland, Pauline, who is going to MAS Euro as well, and Christie, who came here with no place to live- although she just found one to move into tomorrow. We spent the day walking around. The first thing we did was buy three bottles of wine, which we are now drinking.
There are 120 steps up to my apartment. Yes, I counted. Like I said before, Germans do not care about being handicap accessible. It was fun lugging two huge bags, a duffle and a backpack up. Luckily Markus was here to help and didn't mind taking several breaks. Then I helped Christie lug her bags up here. We took many, many more breaks.
Went and got some Doners that everybody told us to get- it's turkish food, kinda like a turkish burrito. The guy spoke very little english, thought we were funny, gave us free tea and taught us German for snow- shnell, and ice- ice.
We realized if we read german out loud, it sounds like english, so as we walked around we read things like the little cartoon bubbles they have on trash cans to each other. People must have thought we were weird reading aloud to one another, but we're americans. we're super cool (not).
Right now we have no food because grocery stores and everything else seem to all be closed on sundays. We did however manage to get the wine, and noticed that every single sex shop is open. We thought to ask if maybe they had dildos made of chicken, but don't know the word for chicken and decided to move on. So we have no food, but wine, and my mother suggested to get edible underwear.
Right by our apartment is a place called...something. But under it is the word S.L.U.T. It's a club with good drink prices, and a new porn showing tomorrow. It is across the streeet from a children's park.
School starts at noon tomorrow. Hopefully we'll find our way, find food, and not be hung over.
Over and Out Sour Kraut
