the perfect tango

the band was called "Neil On Impression"...they were from italy...it took and hour and half to get to them...it was well worth it.


but, i am in the need to meet more people out here, need to reach out and find them. so i am going to make a shirt that reads...'americaner for borrow...please show me the city and all there is to offer'. but seriously, i just need to get a mattress, buy a few things at the market, and just get into a routine. i've been out of place for around two weeks now...just looking for some stability...ahh Monday, here we go...

oh, and here's a little tidbit for ya...our house...

Wish you somethings...

who would've thought...four days into munich and i've already had a liter of beer at the englischer garden...and rode throught the Olympic Stadium. All made possible by the fact that i bought a bike...pretty much found the Walmart of bike stores in Munich and bought a new bike for 200 euro, which basically means i spent about 300 US dollars. Ouch. But i have a bike, sweet.

Englisher Garden Tower


Englisher Garden...soooo many people.


Big ole beer at the Englisher Garden


Big Gulps.


The neighborhood we live is in right near the GartenPlatz Center. Tons of bars, clubs, cafes, and people just hanging out all over the street in general. We hung out on the steps in the center near this building with huge pillars, kind of the local hangout for people, mainly younger. But all in all, riding around town drinkin' a beer...something you'd probably get a DUI for in the states, is somehow okay over here. Awesome. But for now time to get back to Da Ali G show on DVD.

a view out my 4th floor window to the right...

On the bridge over the Isar River...



oh and the neighbors had a party that lasted til 6 in the morning...no joke. I gotta get on board with some of that party action...

Half way around the world...

so the first thing I realized after getting to germany…packing your bag full of all your crap is NOT necessary. ..but I will get back to that. Curtis and I stood in the international line for two hours before making our way to the gate, all the time thinking we might be at the wrong terminal. But low and behold, we made it on the plane. Economy class is just that, economy. Although, they did serve alcohol and did not charge once, not a dime, and I took a measured advantage of that situation. But again with the bags…we boarded the S-Bahn to get to Munich from the airport. Not so bad, but when we got off the train we had to walk for awhile to find the RTT building. Mind you I’m carrying a backpack, dragging a 70 pound duffle, and my garment bag. I should have just been wearing a shirt that read “tourist”.

My First Ride in a Train...I think.


Non-emotional baggage.


Well we live in a nice apartment on the 6th floor in the GartnerPlatz neighborhood. Not having a car has not proven to be a problem…I actually find it nice to walk around the city with everyone…although it did take us an hour and a half to get to work today, I guess having a map would have helped a little. First night here on Wednesday we went to a BBQ with the RTT crew, about 50 or so of em…nothing like bratwurst and steak slapped on a bread roll and just goin to town. Plus they had plenty of beer, which they brought in crates and just put in the river to keep cold. Spent the rest of the night there, caught a train home, hit the bar across the street from our apartment, and caught some well needed sleep.


First night BBQ style...


So tomorrow I’m gonna try to buy a bike, get a phone, do some shopping, get a subway pass, and just breathe in this Munchen air as much as possible. I’ll try to get some photos on here when I get around to taking some…

yeah so i know this page was supposed to be about my travel and what not...dont worry, I'll get to it. Instead i find it necessary to post up videos that i personally find amusing, either for your enjoyment, or so i can watch them again without having to search for em.

Craigslist you are the greatest...

So after my first two successful sales of $30 bucks a pop for some crappy TV stands, I went back into my house looking for what I could sell next. Couch, fridge, PS2, cat...ok maybe not the cat...can you sell cats on craigslist though? It's pretty funny how far people will drive to pick up something also. One guy drove probably about 30 miles to get to pasadena to buy my crappy furniture, and I don't give discounts for mileage.

Look for more posting to hit craigslist soon. I'm sure I have a bunch of crap I no longer need that someone will find valuable.

parker

Yeah i gotta go lick my balls and watch sideways...

fuckin cats...hilarious.
