Fun Stuff > CHATTER
Let's say positive things about our jobs!
nickyandthefuture:
I'm taking a one-way flight out of the US on the fourth of July. Grand gesture or cheapest flight?
(cheapest flight)
I'll be around full time after that!
pen:
I am so tired of my job, so it's harder and harder to find something positive, but today I went out to breakfast for an hour and no one knew about it so it's all good.

Hmm... Negative, Nicky... we could totally meet in September in one of the beer gardens. Oh. And if you want a tip from a local: Don't go on the Octoberfest. Really. Don't. We bavarians are just using it to rob all the money from tourists and then some. Everything that is there is sold at horrible prices. A "Maß" of beer will cost in 2009 there roundabout 11.5 US Dollars. For one simple liter of beer. A beer that you can buy everywhere in Munich for 3.5 Dollars (or in a beer garden for 7 Dollars). We beat out Disneyworld by far with charging prices for nothing. If you want to drink a lot of bavarian beer, party until you drop AND having folks around you speaking your language, go on one of the "german-american festivities" in the villages near the US military bases in Bavaria (like Hohenfels, Grafenwoehr, Amberg and such).

Though I am an American citizen, I spent a significant chunk of my life up through my mid-20s living all over Germany. I even got married and had my first child there. It's been way too long since I've been there, but that's another topic entirely...
Anyway, German-American fests are a hell yes! The ones when I lived in Bamberg were fantastic. We used to always go to the one in Nürnberg (though I imagine that's done since they closed post there) as well as Würzburg every year.
So much fun. Skip München, ain't worth it.

Especially when you see a lot of 19-20 year old US Soldiers recognizing that by german law it is allowed for them to drink and buy anything that contains alcohol. (Low Alcohol like beer and wine is legal to teens here that reached Age 16, strong alcohol like vodka when you are 18).
