(no subject)

I'm not going to blog because louise is writing things much better than I could. I just wanted to say, hi! so far, germany is as lovely as I hoped and I want to move here when I am done moving to vienna.

(still: i reckon the frankfurt christmas markets and by extension most christmas markets other than nuremberg and vienna are more worthwhile: the nuremberg markets are very touristy and thus only sell gingerbread, gluhwein, and christmas decorations while the frankfurt markets sell excellent scarves!)

we went to the circus last night in Munich (which was brilliant) and then stayed at wombats in munich (which was just the same as wombats in vienna three years ago) and then came back to nuremberg which was noticably colder(!) so that we could go to the "documentation centre" which is a museum dealing with the nazi party - specifically the nuremberg rallies. i looked at it all quite fast and then waited in the shop for a while, because I can only cope with a minimum of records of humans being awful to each other.

tomorrow we are going back to munich and we will meet up with lachlan so that we can have christmas together. right now I am going to duck into the markets again and get some cake for christmas.

just so you know: eierpunsch, which is like eggnogg, is extremely strong and full of rum. none of us could finish the small mugs we bought. feuerzangerbowle is a rum punch which involves pouring rum over a cone of sugar and setting it alight and pouring all that into red wine. i still prefer gluhwein.

(apparently "not going to blog" really just means "not going to use capital letters")
