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....

Re: Off to Deuschtland!
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?
Re: Off to Deuschtland!
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.

Re: Off to Deuschtland!
Ues, were are you exactly in Germany?
Forgot to ask you. Too late now, I am back in Romania.
Ja mata, TosaInu. You will forever be remembered.

Been to:
Swords Made of Letters - 1938. The war is looming in France - and Alexandre Reythier does not have much time left to protect his country. A novel set before the war.
A Painted Shield of Honour - 1313. Templar Knights in France are in grave danger. Can they be saved?

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.

Re: Off to Deuschtland!
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.
