I can feel my english rapidly degrading as I speak german more! Word... Order... Failing........... Forgetting... words...... melodramatism.... setting.... in... And that's enough of that. Seriously though, I kind of feel like writing this whole blog in some strange mix of german and english that nobody but me will understand, because that is the language that I am speaking right now: Engleutch. I'm confusing myself just by thinking. It's wierd.
In the News Today: I got a call from the insurance company today, and now they are telling me that I am also scheduled to come back to America with Oma on saturday, but not by their doing. I'm really not sure what to make of that. I'm not sure if they still have residual information from before they changed my flight to August or what, but there is still a faint chance that I will be coming back on Saturday. I hope not... mostly. I should know by tomorrow, and assuming that I can find an webernetting location in Belgium I will post the results tomorrow evening (Between 8am and 2pm MST). I guess that I just need to be prepared to leave in case I have to.
Also, they have upgraded Omas ticket to 1st class, so hopefully we won't have to go through that whole ordeal again.
There seems to be a lot new today, because I still have more news coming: I also sent myself a package full of all of my dress stuff. Y'know... ties, dress pants, the broken camera... deadweight. I am sending two of the 3 pairs of shoes back with Oma to keep down the weight of the package that I sent. The only problem that I ran into was that it was pretty expensive: 35€ which is a little over 50$, so a little pricy.
I got a chance to play on the main street again today and made a total of 4,30€ bringing me to a grand total of 15.10€ I'm really pleased by this. It's a lot of fun, I think that you guys might find me playing on pearl street quite a bit when I get back to Boulder. Also, I've noticed some things about playing on the street:
1. People will give you money regardless of what song you are playing.
2. In koblenz I make almost exacly 2,50€ an hour, which is kind of wierd.
3. My guitar isn't very loud at all, and I think that I'd make more with a full body.
After the guitar jamming session I went back and picked up Oma, and we went out for a good 3 hours or so in the wheelchair. It's getting harder to push her every day because the wheels keep getting more and more flat every day, but I guess we don't need to worry about that anymore seeing as we can't take it with us on the train.
And now for that little poinless section that I seem to be writing quite a bit now. For today, a couple more things that are wierd about the german lifestyle.
1. German pizza sucks... alot
2. Door knobs don't to turn, either a door is always locked and you need a key to open it, or it is always open.
3. Every 3rd store is a drugstore for some reason.
4. In my experience all german babies have really bright blue eyes.
5. German beer > American beer in every way.
6. Somehow American Dad is a really funny show when all of the caracters speak german. Ironic isn't it that it's only funny in German.
7. MTV still sucks in german too.
8. There are a lot of really big trees here
That's pretty much it for tonight.
Peace
