Hi Guys...been a while.
How ya keepin? Good I hope.
I hate to post something without any content, so let me give a Cliff Notes summary:
1. Getting drunk at 9 a.m. isn't alcoholism in this country...it's merely called a "Bavarian Breakfast"
2. German cops are really, really, really fit.... and I mean that in the Canadian/American sense of "in good physical shape", not the British sense of "really good looking". Although, in some cases.....
3. It really IS called a "Royale with Cheese"...they don't know what the fuck a Quarter Pounder is. And yes, you can get a beer at McDonalds.
4. Football (Soccer) brings out the best and the worst in you (kind of like Uber). I found myself jumping up and down singing the Deutschland footy chants with my Aryan friends. 5 minutes later I could be found mouthing off to Turkish fans to something to the effect of, "GOOOOOALLLLL!!! BOW TO YOUR GERMAN RULERS!".
My friend Heinerich later told me that I am what he would call, "Probably the exact opposite of German. Watch out for the Turks though...they carry knives".
5. No matter how long you're here, street signs that start off with "ACHTUNG!" will make you break out into a fit of giggles.
6. There is a beer vending machine downstairs from where I'm interning. These machines should not be abused. You'll be surprised how the novelty of a beer vending machine never wears off.
7. Rugby is catching on in Germany and eastern europe. It's quite nice to see the sport becoming more popular. Although the team I am now playing with is mainly French and Aussie, lots of Germans are picking the sport up.
8. No matter how far away from Canada I go, my ears are still assaulted by Soulja Boy's "music" on a regular basis. Thank god it's not quite as often, I just never thought that garbage would make it over here.
9. On that note, there are 'wiggers' in Germany too. What a difference 60 years makes...
10. There are actual "Private Breweries" in Germany that limit the amount of beer they export. I have no clue why they do such things...they should spread their joy to millions around the world.
HOOK ME UP!

In the south..Baden-Wurttemberg. The best state there is. This is taken at my friend's place in the middle of the black forest.
Ha, that's the Bundesland where I live!!
When I moved here I had to laugh at signs saying: Not a US-gang, notausgang= emergency exit.

It's funny, my first week here I used that line on a German when I beat him in a chugging competition. Luckily he was a good sport. Yeah I still have a place in Canada, I'm only here for an internship...then it's back to school :(
Obama eh...I thought he was one of the good guys, guess I had it wrong.

Everything outside of Munich, Nuremberg and Berlin looks like Grafenwoehr and Vilseck to me.

Very beautiful. I don't know German, but I think that says "Black Forest Street"? Guessing.

Is that near Lake Titisee? I swear it looks familiar.
But then, a lot of Germany looks like that.

Let's hope the wigger wave crashes in Germany.

I would like to go to Germany and wander about drinking beer all over the place. Perhaps in August, when no one is working.

I thought it was a "royale with cheese" in France.

I was trying to quote pulp fiction the best I could...but that's correct, in France it's Royale with Cheese. In Germany it's called "Hamburger Royale"

Berty!
Yeah I haven't been on the site much. School and such you see. I had a moment so I figured I'd jump on a bandwagon.
