Dresden

So, today is our third day in Dresden. This city is very beautiful, even though, as Sandra said when she first introduced herself, they're still rebuilding. The area that we have been in is kinda like Chicago on crack. There are awesome little shops everywhere. The best part though, and I never thought I'd be saying this, are the bars. There is such a huge range of places here. The ABSOLUTE coolest we found was a place called "Lebowski." Yup. That is a bar, themed entirely on The Big Lebowski. There were murals all over the place, bowling shoes hanging from the ceiling, and the movie was playing with english and german subtitles. Great place... but they didn't have any good sasporilla.

We finally got to see the German again too. For those of you who don't know her, Sandra (the german) was a foreign exchange student at Brown a couple of years ago. To sum it up, she is one of the most rediculous people ever, while at the same time being one of the COOLEST. She brought the stereotype that Germans are obsessed with sex to America. Every other sentence she says is about... buttsex. She is the only girl that still has an outstanding strike at Robin's.

First, Sandra gave us a pretty funny tour of the city. Since there really aren't many historical buildings here anymore, she just took us through the city center. The tour basically consisted of "There's that one famous church, and that is a palace, and that is an opera... that is all we have." She also took us to see the local VW factory, and the Botanical gardens. It was fuckin' cool, and amazing to be able to see her again.

Pictures later. Per usual, this computer isn't capable of uploading them.

P.s. We might be going to England or Ireland.

England or Ireland? Either would be the shit, I'm sure. Two of the coolest people I've ever met were exchange students from St. Francis, Michon (Dutch) and Maik (German). I randomly got to go to DC with them on a trip sponsored by the JCC and had the time of my life trying to give them a tour of DC (I had only been once before, in 5th grade nonetheless). I bet Sandra was a much better guide.
