Germans are crazy. This video is from the Germany vs. Portugal game where Germany won 3-2. Since Germany now goes to the semi finals for the Euro Cup, it was crazy on the streets:


This one I wish I had more room on my memory card because it cuts off right before the "oompa ooompa" bodyslam song.



And this one is the mob shaking a bus.

days 30-31: ulm

The Euro Cup is making me post more. There are about 25 more soccer games left. They're not boring, but it's a lot of soccer to watch. Germany won last night, and there were riots in the streets. Around 11pm, the game ended and Germany won against Poland 2-0. Cars started making laps outside the apartment and other people with flags wouldn't let cars pass until they honked their horn and showed their love for Deutschland. I thought the cars were going from somewhere to somewhere else, but the
longer you watch, then you could see they were the same people making loops around the city.


I have fallen in love while in Germany.

Not in love with soccer (or Fußball) but with Brunch. Not the mid morning after-breakfast-time-but-before-lunch brunch, but Brunch the spreadable deliciousness I love. It's getting to be a problem. I will eat bread because I love the taste of brunch, not so much the bread. I need to remember to look into ways to bringing this back to the US. Maybe dry ice?
Brunch is cream and cold, like a delicious cream cheese. So far, I've only tried 2 of the 3 flavors, although the "Plain" one doesn't look too good, but I hear it's good under strawberry jam. I would dedicate a whole blog entry to my favorite flavor, but right now it's a draw between the Paprika Peperoni and Feine Kräuter. The Paprika is spicy and tangy but the Feine Kräuter is herby and the first one I tried, and the original source of my Brunch Love.

days 28-30

um...I'm not sure how many days I've been here so far, so that's why I posted earlier today as day 21 but this post was posted on the same day but titled "day 30"...that is going to look weird but whatev. Maybe it would be easier to measure things in weeks, but there's already this counting by days thing going...all the way from last year. It definitely is day 30, I just checked. Here.

The EuroCup is what's in here in Germany. Germany is actually playing right now (and that's why I'm blogging right now). It's Germany vs. Poland. I bet Germany would win 2-1. But now that I've seen them play I think it's going to 2-0.

Also, it's a slow night for news and a pretty laid-back weekend and one of the few posts without pictures, Charlie the Unicorn came out with a sequel!
Here's the original:

and now here's the sequel.

I can't decide which one is better. The more you watch it the funnier it is.
