20 years of a great country

And finally, here I am!! I’ve been in Germany for 5 days already, and tomorrow class starts. Until now, it has been anything but a disappointment. I’ve seen a good amount of ruinous castles, eaten piles of local delicacies, and drunken bucket loads of different kinds of yellowy liquids produced in Germany, not bad, eh?

Food, let me think… Zwiebelkuchen, Flammkuchen, Schweinshaxe, Sauerkraut, Schwarzwaldkuchen… I don’t think I could have done it all in one day. And then yesterday I arrived in Hamburg and was invited to have dinner with the host family and they had wild mushrooms. And I still haven’t had any German sausage!!! And then the drink, normal beer (whichever the local breweries are), Heffe Weiβe, Riesling, neues Wein…

Don’t get me wrong, there was a lot of sightseeing, but I have a sister that needs a break every couple of hours, so there was enough time for everything.

I almost forget!! Also yesterday was the day of the German unification, a bank holiday if it didn’t fall on Sunday. I was in this country 10 years ago for the 10 year anniversary, and destiny brought me back for the 20 years celebration. Will I be back for the 30th?
