Germany trip

I've just come back from another trip to Halle. It was really enjoyable. The weather was great and we did lots of nice things. Easyjet kinda messed up the end part, but I don't want to rant on and on about it. They cancelled my flight and I thankfully was able to stay with Aidas in Berlin. He was a great host. He made cocktails and we played Jenga. Of course, I will be eternally grateful :) I also met two hilarious guys from Manchester who also were on the fated EZY7226 to Liverpool. We all got redirected to Glasgow and had a lot of laughs on the long journey back. So there was a bright side to the whole debacle. Now comes the whole filing a complaint and getting compensation. I'll let you all know how it goes.

Tomas got me some great birthday presents. Feuchtgebiete (click on the link, they will be translating it into English) was one. I read it in about 2 days. I can't say it was too remarkable after all the hype there was in Germany about its content, but the real shocker of the book (how the protagonist's mother tried to kill her own children) was somehow skipped over and mentioned only when it was time for a convenient ending. He also got me a Polaroid camera. Amazing. I also want to show you this sweet card. I forced him to by it me in Paperchase, but I had a to wait so long to get it. I love it! The same company (1973) also makes matryoshka wrapping paper.
