Pictures!

These are just a sampling of some photographs I took in Germany (after the break, to save homepage loading time).

I wish I had a Nikon D5100 or something, but all I've got is a tinymode point-and-shoot.

No complaints, just pictures: (Click here)

Still semi-hiatus.

Idea: Superchill cafe-thing

Visited an establishment today with the crew in Deutschland, and it gave me an idea:

Concrete floors, walls- smooth and utilitarian. Easy to clean, neutrally furnishable.
Combines the qualities of a bar and cafe with a relaxed atmosphere (indie rock and jazz, I think?)
Has elevated seating (multiple levels?) and a high ceiling.

Important: Cushions. Cushions, everywhere.


Windows that are supertall (or superwide?) and/or some sort of natural ventilation and lighting.

Small library of classics and strange books- scouring half-price books?

Delicious foodstuffs.

Things that I have been craving (and recently eaten):

[ Gyros ], [ Doner kebab ], [ Spaetzle ].

So delicious.

As it turns out, I really like the taste and texture of crisply roasted lamb.

Delicious pastries post to come tomorrow.

Blisters are no fun.

I speak from experience.

I elaborate on the why over at my germany-blog, but I have a terrible blister on my left foot's biggest toe. It is no fun.

That being said, prepare for a "gross" subject.

I'm thinking that rotating shoes and dealing with uncomfortable things early is probably the best idea.

Still: ewwwwwwwww.

On the ground!

As you're reading this I am likely waking up in Germany.

I made it here safely (taking a flight from Newark to Berlin) and was pleasantly surprised by the local accomodations.

I'll have a miniblog going over at http://ccwkgermany.blogspot.com

I'll post something short over there each day, and will only be posting every other day until further notice.
