PS. The Bavarian countryside is astoundingly beautiful. Drove clear across it this morning and it was amazing.
Oh, and the autobahn is magical. People actually pay attention to the traffic laws. They stay out of the left lane, except to pass! That's just awesome
There is a big storm front hitting central europe today. Nothern Germany is expecting high winds and flooding, central Germany is set to receive snow. We will see what happens...
Hopefully.
But as of right now? At 1130? I fucking love it here.
Ask me again if that blizzard hits here...

Aaah, that explains why plain English didn´t work! That's gonna be my new tag, right? ;)Originally Posted by ThoseDeafMutes
Australien, cunt.
So here is the annotated version:
Imagine a beer that has not been brewed, but went through a dachshund the way Kopi Luwak coffee goes through a Asian palm civet. That's what it tastes like.
Sorry, only found an English version of Wikipedia. ;-P
Do Australians even have internet access?
I guess that in addition to having never heard of those beans / animals before it was also difficult to understand because I drink neither beer nor coffee.Aaah, that explains why plain English didn´t work! That's gonna be my new tag, right? ;)

Back in the days, when I had to take my NATO English test, the auditory part was a conversation recorded from an AM radio conversation between an Australian farmer and his wife on the farm. LOL Those were the days... *gets nostalgia eyed*Haha, I have an Australian co-worker who's the most polite guy you could imagine when he talks German, but every other word is a swear word once he switches to English. Australia seems to be lovely.
It's the fear of Death waiting in ever corner/Bush that makes them edgy. Even Koala's are murderous cuntsHaha, I have an Australian co-worker who's the most polite guy you could imagine when he talks German, but every other word is a swear word once he switches to English.

I can't recommend a place to stay, but for the cultural excursion plan:Originally Posted by ThoseDeafMutes
No plans, haven't booked a place to stay yet either. Not sure how many days I'll come for. Also have no idea what Kolsch is.
- Cologne Cathedral (entrance is free, climb the stairs to the roof 5-7 euro)
- Wallraff-Richartz Museum (mostly classic art, inner city next to the old city hall)
- Museum Ludwig (modern/contemporary art, next to the main station)
- visit a Brauhaus (e.g. Gaffel am Dom, Malzmühle at Heumarkt) and try some local food (Sauerbraten, Himmel und Ääd, etc.) with freshly brewed Kölsch (top-fermented, light beer)
- short stray over the Christmas market behind Cologne Cathedral
- tourists love the Chocolate museum at the Rheinhafen
- walk the Hohenzolllernbridge to see countless padlocks of love couples
- visit Hohe Straße and Schildergasse for shopping and fun, one of the most populated streets in Europe with a lot of street artists, tourist, etc.
- try Reissdorf Kölsch, Gaffel Kölsch, Mühlenkölsch and decide which of them is the best
The city's website provides some useful information in English:

Yes, there is an extensive network of gumtrees and Koala bears that have been taught Morse code. It's why our speeds are so bad.Originally Posted by WanderingWind

It's standard practice for Australians to use "mate" for strangers and "cunt" for friends. Makes perfect sense when you remember that we live upside down.Haha, I have an Australian co-worker who's the most polite guy you could imagine when he talks German, but every other word is a swear word once he switches to English.

It's because I hate myself, I think.Originally Posted by Dutch Patriot

Well, alcohol I could understand (well, not understand understand, but rationally), but I can't see how someone would make it all the way through school and university without caffeine. Are you superhuman?Originally Posted by ThoseDeafMutes
Sorry, I should have explained further. I don't drink alcohol at all and the only hit drink I take is the occasional hot chocolate.
Although I guess no alcohol helps with no caffeine.
Btw TDF, I´d really love to invite you over, as we have the probably best and nicest Weihnachtsmarkt in all of Germany. But I guess you wont make it this far into the wilderness to the savage natives, being Australian and thus forewarned and stuff.
SpieleGrotte.de support sucks.
BroTipProTip: When searching for the correct response gif to this above, don´t type "bro fist pussies" with safe search off.
Also, bring it on, Xaver!
Plus, badassery
Edit: From the UK thread:
A level 3 was issued for NE Netherlands, NW and N Germany and extreme S Denmark mainly for extreme wind gusts, and to a lesser extent for tornadoes.
Who called it Xaver? Sounds French, storm must be a huge bloated pussy who gives up early.
