little things

Saturday, March 26th, 2005

It’s the little differences. A lotta the same shit we got here, they got there, but there they’re a little different. Examples? imdb

some things I have noticed along the way.

- Eggs come in packs of 10, not 12. But beer comes in 6-packs

- You have to deposit a 1 Euro coin to use a shopping cart at the grocery store. They don’t bag your groceries and you have to pay for the bag (0.15)

- Traffic lights turn orange + red before turning green. Almost like drag racing.

- Gas costs 1.15 Euro a litre which equals about $5.60 a gallon.

- Beer, on the other hand, costs about 11 Euros for 20 half litre bottles. That’s around 50 cents for a great 12 oz beer. Not too shabby.

- The burrito equivalent in Germany is the Döner Kebab. It is a roll filled with Yiro meat (turkey) cooked on a vertical rotissery. Served with lettuce, tomatoes, cuccumber sauce, and pepper. They average around $3.00 and are awesome.

hey everyone!

Servus!

in order to keep everyone up to date, I thought it would be a good idea to start a blog. Since I am a bit late, things might not be in chronological order, but at least it is a start.

Tschüß,
