Deutschland

GERMANY | Wednesday, 30 April 2008 | Views [758] | Comments [6]

Arrived in Germany today.  It was weird, seeing it from the airplane... all the buildings are grouped together in groups of about 20-150 buildings, with farmland in between.  Not really sure I understand it, but I kind of like it.  And the yards are so pretty.  A lot of Jeni's neighbors have tulips and daffodils.

I had a bit of trouble getting to Euerbach from Frankfurt, but it was mostly that I was tired, and I have a hard time asking strangers for help.  The one time someone randomly tried to help me, it didn't work out... he didn't speak english, and my german isn't good enough to ask what I needed to know, which was how to get on to the train in front of us.  The doors were closed, so I went and stood in front of one and stared at it for a bit until I remembered the last time I was in Germany (for all of a day), on the subway, you have to press this button next to the door to open it.  And, lo and behold!, there it was!  "Bitte Drucken"  (Please Push)

Anyway, I'm Jeni's now, and she making us dinner... which I'm actually hungry for... eating and sleeping have been scarce lately.

Hey, I found this nifty website that translates German to English and visa versa! You can type in whole sentences and even hear the words translated for you!! It works pretty well, you may need to search a bit, but it seems pretty accurate!

Viel Vergnügen! Und gehen sich verlaufen!

Liebe, dein schwester Veronica
