... cute little animals and feast on them, well at least I was. So, coming back from the Volksfest, the guard on duty spoke English. Turns out, it's a club where they raise little animals. So I asked if they ate them. His jaw almost dropped, "no!" So no, they don't eat the little animals. They show the little animals and have club meetings and events where they eat large animals that are decidedly not raised there. It's a Thumper safe zone.<br>

Nun sind es also knapp zwei Monate her, als ich das letzte Mal an einer Schule die Geschichte<br>von Selma und mir erzählte. Einen Abend zuvor telefonierte ich mit meinem Bruder und so ganz nebenbei scherzte er, dass ich aus der Übung sein müsste, da ich schon mehr als 8 Wochen keine Schule mehr betreten und Mainecoon gepielt habe. Ach, von wegen aus der Übung. Bücher zu präsentieren ist wie Auto fahren. So etwas verlernt man nicht, und ...

... and the gardens are really nice. I think the Basel zoo is better as far as animals go, but this one isn't bad for variety. I did not like the small areas where the animals are kept though. It seemed much too small for large wild animals.<br><br>After the zoo we walked around the city center and stopped in a beer garden for a little relaxation. We managed to walk around the New Palace and Palace Square and then went to the ...

... snakes from Australia but there was a Boa from South America that looked like it had just engulfed three small children which was quite impressive. <br><br>(Amy) I also liked the flamingos &#8211; they're just funny looking. We saw a number of animals we had never seen but have no knowledge of what those animals were as all the descriptions were in German. It was quite embarrassing to have a little kid ask us a question and not ...

Caught a night train from Vienna and arrived in Stuttgardt in the morning. Had a great day wandering and seeing the sights. Yet another map from yet another tourist info place. More statues and old buildings (Boring right? Not by a long shot). Still walking around wide-eyed like kids at Disneyland.

... not always like this. Since I'm doing completely new stuff and not just helping Matthias with his old stuff, I have to go through the WHOLE process. They said that usually, when starting a new project, it usually takes a month or two to figure out which systems are interesting and a good way to synthesize them. From there, everything takes off and you can plug in molecules to your working scheme and everything is nice and interesting. Unfortunately, I'm only here for the one or ...

... Yup, it's snow alright, just like they predicted. :( I'm back in my hostel now, trying to dry off and get into warmer clothes because I'm determined to continue my excursion! My roommate and I just decided to go on a walking tour and she called and got us a tour guide. I'm so excited! Second Stop: The Walking Tour Around the City It was absolutely amazing!! We started off by walking through the palace garden and then we walked through the historical city center. One of ...

... I think Sara-Lee has never been to Germany, because they have a very different idea of Black Forest Cake here. It stands about 25cm tall and is half cream. On top of the huge lunch, I was in a bad way... Thursday night we went with Martin and Angela to an American bar to listen to a German band sing 'Down Under' in English. Strange, but true. The band is called 'Dicke Fische' which means 'Fat Fish'. They are seriously good. There are ...
