Deutschland Über Alles

Don't say that in Germany, you'll probably get arrested...

Glenn and I came to Germany on the 30th of December. It's been fantastic. Definately one the the highlights of my time in Europe.

We left our apartment at 11 at night thinking that we would make it to the airport before the buses stopped. We got one bus, but then the buses stopped, so we were stuck at a bus stop not very far away from the airport. So we went inside a bar to ask if there were buses or if we could call a taxi. Luckily there was a taxi driver in the bar... Perfect. So he got a glass of water, chugged it, then we drove to the airport with him. The airport was fine, we slept for about an hour or so then go in line. We eventually got on the plane (after sitting next to this guy that was totally taking a hooker to Germany... That bitch was weird... and disgusting... and he was like 40, balding, with a moustache...) Anyways... we got on the plane and sat there for about an hour because there was something wrong with the plane. So then they took us off and then put us back on 5 minutes later. It was fantastic.

We made it to Germany. Germany is beautiful. Then we got on a bus, then a train, then another train, and then got off one stop short of our destination... Damnit.

So we walked along the train tracks for a while in the rain, heard some bums yelling and throwing bottles... then we decided to get on the road. We waved down a car and I used my immaculate German skills to ask for a phone, but the guy didnt have one, but he pointed us to the tram station. We got there and I talked to some old lady and she said it was coming, but nothing happend for like 45 minutes. So we tried using a payphone, couldn't figure it out, then somehow Glenn got some people's attention and they invited us to use their phone in thier apartment. Those people are amazing. The dude called Alex for us and told him where we were and Alex and his roommate Daniel came and picked us up.

After that we went to a party at some chicks house. It was pretty fun, there were a ton of wasted Germans that were all super rad. But we were super tired so it kind of sucked. Then we went back to Alex's and slept.

New Years was rad. We started out at a LAN, drank some stuff, then walked to the main square thing were all hell was breaking loose. Drunk Germans everywhere blowing shit up. It was fantastic. I got hit in the leg by a loose firework, I knew it hurt, but didnt realize it did damage through my jeans until the next morning when I took a shower. Anyways... we saw a bunch of people from the night before and a lot of other people, and we blew stuff up and drank some more.

After that we went to this house party thing, it was pretty cool, but nothing out of the ordinary for a party, except that I hit a German with a firework and he almost kicked my ass, but luckily I was with some kid that I met 5 minutes before and he talked to him for me, and it was fine... haha. Rad.

The next day we slept. And the next day... etc.

Then on Friday we went back to the same house that we did on the first night and partied with all the same people. It was so damn fun. This is the one place that I've been that I have liked every single person that I have met. It was so fantastic... All of these kids are rad. Super nice, outgoing, funny, rad, weird, everything... So that night was super fun. I'll let the pictures show you. Then we went to Alex's parents' house and slept. Then woke up and had food prepared, it was fantastic.

Then the rest of the week we pretty much chilled at Alex's apartment. Played a lot of CSS and Halo, smoked hookah, and chilled. It was rad. Just being here with Alex and Daniel was amazing. It didn't feel like we had been apart for 2 or 3 years at all. And it also felt like we've been friends with Daniel the whole time also... It was perfect. So yeah, Glenn and I head back to Spain tomorrow, kind of sucks... but whatever. Alex, Daniel, and this kid Felix (He got trashed one night and broke down the door to his house because he couldnt find his keys, because they were in his pants, that he took off.... Anyway, he ran into his house naked and yelled at his parents and told them to get out... That kid is intense. Hahaha.) But they might come to America this summer... so that would be tubular. Much loves. Enjoy da pics yo...
