german world cup fever

hey guys!

just left germany and i miss it already. the amount of people was crazy and the sense of togetherness was awesome! lauren and carolyn and i had a beer at the world famous haufbrauhaus the night before the commotion started and it was unbelievable. chatted with some germans and australians who filled us in on the favourites to win and all that jazz seeing as canada is a hockey country. finally getting used to calling it football. bought a mexico world cup t shirt just to feel part of the crowd! has #5 on it! yes!

anyway, there were tons of sights to see in munich and the surrounding area. neuschweinstien was definately at the top of the list. it's the fairy tale disney castle that the crazy king ludwig II built for himself but never got to use because he was declared mentally ill and unfit to rule. he had an indoor cave built next to his bedroom! note to self...built a cave in my first house.

also took a daytrip to dachau. i don't even think i could describe it if i wanted to. too many emotions.

little tip to anyone thinking of going to munich....the duetsch museum blows bigtime! waste of the 3 euro we spent. we toughed it out for about and hour and a half and then succumbed to the ultimate boredom.

took our first night train to prague. not that bad but i feel we lucked out because the rest of our six car couchet was filled with girls our age from korea...no english spoken that night!

well, more later.
