Leila may be disappointed...I told her I was going to write this blog post in German and then translate it at the end. I just don't have the mental capacity to do that right now. Maybe I'll throw in some random German phrases every now and then though.
Erste, you may be wondering how I decided about to write about Deutschland and its wonderful inhabitants. Well, it all began with iTunes. I was browsing through my expansive list of superb music when I noticed the radio button. I had never payed attention to it before, so naturally I clicked on it. BEST. DISCOVERY. EVER. It is hundredsss of radio stations playing any kind of music you can imagine! Including German.
So that's what sparked the idea. I love Germany. And Germans. And German culture. Basically, if it involves Germany, I like it.
I suppose this whole fascination began 4 years ago (has it really been that long?) when I went on a mini-exchange trip to Weimar, Germany for 3 weeks. Hands down, best experience of my life. It's just so much different there. I have never met more fun loving, laid back people. It's as though they don't have a care in the world. They don't seem as rushed. And it's so much more beautiful there. Naechste, I shall leave you with a sample of my favorite German band. Well, there are two. One of them you've probably heard of. Tokio Hotel:
Saw them in concert last year. Blew my mind. Don't knock it 'til you've tried it.
Und Sportfreunde Stiller:
I am sure there is much more I could tell you about Germany and the people who live there, but unfortunately finals start tomorrow. So maybe I should be productive? We'll see how that goes...
