Gore you can make a mixed Radler wioth 50% beer 50% Sprite, or a similar lemony/lime soda, but it really doesn't taste nearly as good as the real thing.

Ugh...I'll bet.
Have you tried the hookers yet?
No and I don't plan to, you'll have to come here yourself to try them. Plus there won't be too many out where I am...
Gore the mixed type tastes heavily of beer, with the soda covering the flavor a bit, while the mixed type tastes heavily of the lemony/limey concotion that they use with a slight bite I guess. I'm no alcohol connoseur so I can't be certain I am using the correct words or describing it properly, plus I've only had one so far, but I think you get the idea. They are very tasty, and you're going to have to drink a lot of them to get very drunk.
In other news I got more German chocolate today and I love it soooo much!!!!
I'm not only going to go through caffeine withdrawal if I don't break my habit of only drinking coffee if someone else makes it when I get home, but I'll also miss this delicious chocolate horribly. The vast majority of American chocolate just doesn't compare.
Ugh...I don't understand how you can mix beer with a soda and expect it to taste good.
You simply don't mix beer :juggle2:
:balloon2:
Well pre-packaged Radlers are tasty...
The other one was just me trying not to look like too much of a pansy next to the Germans. Either way I redeemed myself when I said wine was okay because my Mutti was ecstatic to hear that....
I used to hear complaints about North American chocolate when I worked at a British importer. The displace Brits used to say it was too waxy. Correct?
Not a clue how you'd describe it, but rest assured German chocolate is far better. I need to get some pure chocolate so I can have a better idea of how much better it is too....Ah well next time we hit the Aldi's I'll grab some.
.25 Euro back per bottle redeemed, compared to 5 cents per bottle in the states...It's amazing, and we always have loads of bottles.
Ues, were are you exactly in Germany?
Forgot to ask you. Too late now, I am back in Romania. :embarassed:
Sachsen-Anhalt, the northwestern region. I am a few minutes from the Niedersachsen border in Altmarkkreis (sp?) Salzwedel.
Where did you visit? Probably nowhere too close to me, I don't think this is a very touristy area.
So I figured I'd drop in for another update. At this point my German is good enough that I understand pretty mucheverything. I still have a rather strong accent, and don't think that will ever change but I feel like I've come a really long way with the language and though I know my German is sometimes quite bad I am generally able to speak fairly well and people almost always understand me. I've got vacation starting on Friday, and my parents (the biological ones not the German ones) will be coming to visit me for a week, so that should be quite interesting. The weather here in Sachsen Anhalt has been quite good for the last few days so I've started chopping wood again, and though both of my sets of glasses are broken (not my fault!) I can manage quite well without them, and for bike riding and stuff like that I still have a pair of sunglasses with perscription lenses.
It's not entirely unknown over here, Shandy/Sneeuwitje is 7up/sprite with a very marginal amount of beer mixed through (so that it can be served to minors). I drank it a couple of times when I was 12 I think, but I don't remember the taste. Probably bad.Quote:

So I was just on vacation, and though I didn't take any big trips during my vacation I did have a pretty relaxing vacation. I'm now back to school and have a little under fifty days left in Germany, I fly home on July 14th.
Everything is going pretty well, though the weather stinks right now and doesn't look like it'll clear up for several days.
I'm going to be pretty busy in my last month and a half in Germany because of all sorts of village and family activities that happen to take place around this time of year.
Feel free to ask some questions, but I don't really have much else to say at the moment, everything's just become too normal here for me to have all that much to say. Oh yeah and I'm sort of freaked out about having to go home because then suddenly I won't see any of the people here anymore and I'll also have to start preparing for college yet again...

Tell me about it. I'm in München right now (I keep mixing up these ys and zs on this German Keyboard). It' rainy and cold right now, but I'm having a great time. Germany really is an awesome countryQuote:

I'm pretty used to the y's and z's being switched on German keyboards by now. It'll probably be a shock to come home to an American keyboard and relearn how to type though.
Can you give me some reccomendations on what's a lot of fun in München? I might be going there at some point, though it looks like it won't happen.
Radler is really good on a hot day, not that we're likely to see any for a while. The weather is actually pretty good right now, but it should get bad by the time school gets out.
The hofbrau house in Munich is amazing. I'll post pictures when I get back to the states (I'm in Belgium now). I drank 2 liters of beer and got so trashed.Quote:
