Reading (For Dummies)

Ich komme aus den USA

On Monday, I met a German dude named Andreas in my ICL (Introduction to Computational Logic) course. He asked if we could hang out tonight so he could practice some English. Sure, why the hell not?

The Saga Begins: Walking into Neuerstadt

We had a few beers at a bar uptown, then headed down to the International Club.

My psuedo-fascination with the moon

When you walked into the bar, they gave you a nametag which you wrote your name/country on, and then gave you a little flag for your country. They had some pretty obscure flags there, I didn't recognize half of them...

After talking for a while, I decided to demonstrate how I feel about my country by burning my miniature American flag

Seeing the first sign of Germany's dot-com burst

Yes, the bottom of that sign points to a website. Unfortunately, you'll need a flash plugin (which they don't make for linux/ppc...). Who knows what it's about? The web address sounds stupid enough...very dot-bomb era domain name. Lotsa luck to you all.
