Pigs in Space? Muppet Show? Anyone? Oh well.
Let's just jump on in. First day here I was pretty hungry so I went to go find some dinner after unpacking. So I started walking down one of the larger roads in my neighborhood, which I now know as JagdschlossStrasse, looking for an open restaurant. I walked out for about 30 minutes trying to find one, but it turns out that shops and such in Europe close a lot earlier than in America. So after 22.00, you're really not gonna find a whole lot to do except for bars and clubs. That is, unless you're in a heavily toured area. Which I'm most certainly not. A little disheartened, I decided I'd walk back. I knew I lived near the top of the hill in this area, so I thought it'd be a good idea to start walking back through the neighborhood. Turns out this neighborhood is actually a modern day replica of the Labyrinth. True story. Walking around for probably about an hour before I decided that I really need to ask someone where my street is. I happened upon a park and saw some younger kids hanging out, so I asked them if they knew where my street was. They told me that Stock im Weg (actually just a street close to mine, the bus stop) was directly behind me and to the right. So I walk out and take a right and see a hill. Well while I'm walking up the hill I start hearing this clinking noise behind me like someone walking with spurs on. I turned my head to check and there's this goth'd out kid walking up on me. Since I could hear the clinking getting louder, I knew he was getting right up on me, and I'm not gonna lie, I was getting a little worried at this point. This was my first night, and your imagination can tend to run for a second when you've got Gothzilla raising up on you. Well, obviously he ended up leaving me in the dust, but not long before I got to the top of the hill and saw the road leading through another park.
oming from a campfire area and I wanted to check it out. Well when I got closer I realized I just ran into a small child's birthday part, or something similar. So there's little kids running around playing on the playground, and I just walked into this park with Gothzilla, and the parents are staring at me, and I'm just standing there because I couldn't say hardly anything at this point... ah, it was a little weird. I just kinda started at the parents for a while and then 180'd and left.
Started wandering around again and found a street sign for Straddler Weg (which I assume to be what the kids thought I was looking for) and started checking out random streets. Again, my only cue on getting home at this point is 'on top of a hill' so I'm just walking up and down every hill I can see. Pretty tiring.
Ah, quick wrapup. I saw a Chinese restaurant that got me back on JagdschlossStrasse and I got home in about another 20 minutes to Wester's bow-wow at the door.
We'll pick up getting lost again later, if you're interested. It's a little after midnight and I have to write some real journals for class in the morning. Or afternoon, rather.
Bah-bah
