Second night in Germany :: Last night in Germany. Short trip, writing with heavy, drunken fingers. Outside my hotel window rises a chorus of drunken German men singing at an open-air eatery, no doubt they’re all smoking: so Europe it hurts. I did some quick math today at the bar: of my time in Germany, 3hrs was spent presenting, and probably 2hrs in “prep.” That’s 5hrs total of work. I slept for 6hrs last night, and will get about 5hrs tonight. The other time was spent eating and drinking. This means that my trip could be summarized as such: working – 12%; sleeping – 26%, drunk and full – 62%. Man, that’s pretty good math for 2.5 litres.
I honestly don’t have much to write, I had this big ambitious piece asking why Christianity seems to be the only religion which “evangelizes” to such a high degree – but there’s no way I’m polishing that in this state. So, instead, I’ll post some quick images from the trip. Nothing fancy, mind you, I left the “real” camera at home with Sharaun so she can document Keaton’s each and every day (a far more worthy cause), and had only my 2MP cellphone with which to document my short stay in Bavaria. But, I did manage to get some decent shots, I reckon. Check it:
The “pork platter” at the local bar: pork sausage, pork liver “dumplings,” pork leg, pork chop, and back-bacon. (Portion for three, but comical when posed as a meal for one.)
4.5L “jug” of dunkles-bier from the local bar. Oh good God…
I really appreciated the pork platter…
Well, yes… I should be getting to bed then, shouldn’t I? Seems I am due to be off to the airport at 6am tomorrow morning, 200km/hr on the autobahn again. I really should get some sleep before I leave, of course, that’s after I call the wife and flip back and forth as fast as possible between the porn channels (which give you a ~2sec preview each time you pass by them) to try and catch an entire scene. Germans sure do love their porn…
Goodnight.
