Baverian Crap, Raucherfrei my ass and the World Cup

I know what you are thinking. You are thinking, my God, why the hell hasn't Justin been updating this thing? I mean, is he so busy that he cannot find 15 minutes in his easy life just to inform his lonely public of his wanderings and doings and goings on and whatnot? Well, the short answer is no, and the slightly longer answer is I have not felt like it. With this in mind, let me try to update you on what has been going on. Well, first of all, Daniela and I are now officially settled and moved in to our new apartment. It was a devastingly long move for me down the hall way (about 50 feet away) and took forever to complete. We have it all decorate and crap, and I will provide photos later.

What else is new? I was in good old Horba last weekend for Easter, which was a good time, as we went to two birthday parties, and I got to practice my drunken German a bit more, and eat a bunch. Good times. One time after having some coffee in the afternoon, there was some crappy ass Baverian music that some kids were seeing. You see this kind of pathetic attempt at entertainment all the time on TV, as these little lederhosen bastards sing historic ballades that idoligize such earth shatteringly important subjects as how cute baby chickens are and the purty mountains. There has been some call from Baverians to seperate from Germany in the past, and I hope that they are still persuing this, as I would be in favor if nothing else to get this off the damn television.

In other stupid German news, all of the train stations are Raucherfrei (No Smoking) except in designated areas, but to Germans, this matters not. People smoke everywhere, and since most stations are quite open it is usually not an issue of annoyance, but there is a point of priniciple that I hate. The most common place to see people smoking is near the signs that say NO smoking!!!! There are little ashtrays to put out your cigarettes, as if they would pay attention and throw their precious cancer sticks away, and they like to congregate there, and smoke away. Ah, a nice law abiding society.....

In other train news, Daniela and I each recently bought World Cup discount train cards, that were only 19 euros and good for four months. However, if Germany wins a round in the games, then we get the card for another month, and if they win the whole thing, then we get it till the end of the year. The purpose of the card is to encourage people to travel to the cities were games are played, but I do not even care about going to the city, I just want them to win so I can get my card longer, so, Go Germany!!!!
