Ok... well we have now been in germany for about a week. Little known fact... there is a soccer tourny going on here right now. You might not notice from all the drunken polish, brazilian and ukranian people... i mean come on we all know mark pahuta...(or if you dont trust me... that guy is ukranian)
My favourite thing about germany is that i look like i could be german, so most people assume that i speak german. Its pretty funny with the world cup because there have been a few times when tourists come up to me and ask something in german, and i know that just before they were looking in their phrase book, and practicing real good to say the phrase correctly... and when i saw "nien deutch" i can see the disappointment in their eyes.
Its also kind of funny how english is the medium that all the different drunken natinalities use to converse. Also in berlin the entrance to the fan area is right beside the new holocaust momorial. Now i dont know if tail gating there is kosher (seriously no pun intended....) but theres a lot of tailgating goin on.
Anyways we were first in Cologne which was fun. It was the day before the world cup started so there were a lot of people with noise makers just trying to restrain themselves. I mean deep down you could tell they just wanted to shout "ECUADOR" or something but if nobody shouts back they might just look dumb.... but the flag cape is alwas in style. Its really weird... fans move in packs and shout cheers at each other all day... its like a middle aged male only frosh week.
After Cologne we went and stayed with our relatives Michael and Silka in Bonn. They knew that we had been eating a lot of pasta, so michael showed us many types of bratwerst and his home made lemoncello. I never knew home made booze could taste so good. We stayed with them for three days, and then flew to Berlin, where we met my cousin Karl and his girlfriend Carolyn for the first time. Berlin has been amazing....
unfortunatly i am running out of time. kim had to spend the first 20 mins of the hour checking for American Idol updates.... blame her.
