'What?' Might you ask does a German breakfast consist of? Well, let's just say it's not the normal pancakes, bacon and scrambled eggs I'm use to.
Cameron and I woke up for breakfast the other morning and found an assortment of food that is not traditionally seen in the states. Okay, let me start by describing the atmosphere... First of all, everyone is VERY quiet while eating breakfast. Which is a little uncomfortable for me(especially when you drop your knife on the tiled floor) but, I can work with it. Secondly, there is no such thing as personal space. So, if you have an open chair next to you... it will be taken. Third, German's stare at you. Which makes me extremely uncomfortable! Especially since breakfast in Germany is eaten as if you were sitting in front of Her Majesty the Queen.
Anyways, the "assortment" of food goes like so... I'll start with the semi-normal stuff--- lightly boiled eggs, all kinds of fruit yogurts(not what you think), cereal with warm milk and thinly sliced fruits...Not so bad. But here is where it gets weird. Sliced cheeses, 4 or 5 different kinds of sliced lunch meat, including raw salmon. Tomato, cucumber, aged cheese and 4-5 different kinds of hard rolls. I found this picture on the internet but, it's exactly what I find every morning waiting for me. I would just take pictures myself... but, I'm sure they think "The American Couple" is weird enough.

Things I've learned...

After my first full day in Europe this is what I've learned~
1. Germany is BEAUTIFUL! Everything... and I mean EVERYTHING, is green!
2. Europeans really do smell... and I don't mean they have a weird European odor from food or something in the water. It's pure B.O.! Some just don't bathe.
3. All German TV runs mostly(3/4) American shows, it's just dubbed in Deustch. And all the music is in English~ I'm not gonna lie, it's kinda annoying.
4. The autobahn is crazy! Everyone... and I mean EVERYONE drives either a BMW, Volkswagen, Mercedes-Benz or Audi's. I thought I saw a Porsche driving in the fast lane ; )
5. I suck at Deutsch. I know I've only been in country for 2 days... but it's weird not being able to understand conversations or perform simple tasks. Most German's do speak English... so that helps immensely!
6. Germany has some of the best bread I've ever tasted!
7. Germany is really clean~ and surprisingly modest... unlike the TV. Put it this way, we got to our Hotel and Cameron turned on the TV and we saw PORN! Like full fledged porn! GROSS!
8. The Euro exchange rate SUCKS! They only have large bills, 20's, 10's, 5's and 1&2 dollars are in coin.
9. German's don't have annoying salesmen. YAY! We acutally walked through an entire furniture store and weren't hounded by chessey salesmen!
10. German's don't use credit cards or debt! Only Euro and some kind of German card called easy cash.
11. Americans in Europe stick out like a sore thumb! Shoes are a dead give away- No flip-flops :( Flats are very popular! It works for me because I love flats : )
12. Skinny jeans and scarfs seem to be the HOT trend here as well. I can work with that :)
13. Germans are VERY dog friendly. You can take them anywhere...Restaurants, Malls... you name it!
14. Beds have 2 blankets, one for him and one for her.
15. Toliets don't fulsh, you have to push a button on the wall! HA!

Well, that for now... Alvedazane (They say that here)
