The internet situation here is completely annoying. It’s Saturday and I ought to be happily capable of using the internet all day, to *finally* use Skype… but why would anything be convenient? Ever? The computer lab, located on the fifth floor of the Goethe office building and accessible only through a small door that’s relatively hidden, is the only thing open today. So I can’t actually use my own laptop to post the entries I’ve been accumulating. I’ll have to date them and post them all on Monday, so you all can continue to keep up with me, albiet a little after the fact.

German keyboards are annoying as all heck. In German, you use a “y” about as often as you use a “z” so naturally, they’ve switched places. If I close mz ezes and attempt to use this kezboard like an American kezboard, this is what it starts to look like. It drives me nuts! I have therefore gained a newfound appreciation for the letter “y” — I had no idea I used it that often.

Anyway, I am probably going to go off and have another adventure or two before I can update again. I will post pictures — the internet situation makes it difficult, which is why I haven’t yet. Anyway, off to see Wagner’s Tristan and Isolde (the Opera), for free! Ich liebe Goethe :)
