The Westin Bellevue, Dresden

... that I have been laying in bed shivering one moment, sweating the next and can't stop coughing! I have been hallucinating about killing people in my dorm room with a crossbow because they seem to like rustling plastic bags for hours at 6am in the morning. I can't be sure if I yelled out “Calm down b*tches” or if I dream t ...

... You could imagine my disgust and outrage when they informed me that they do not sell VB any longer, only Queensland **** XXXX, and fosters. I demanded that they take VB off the menu so normal people such as myself will no longer get excited at the prospect of downing a nice cold Vitamin B. With that drama over, I moseyed on down to a plaza, where beers were being sold for about $6. Now my father taught me well, to be a tight ass. Looking for a cheap beer in a ...

... stomped on, etc. BUT thousands of these were dropped and with so many tiny fires, and the wind tunnels from the windows and doors being gone, these little fires grew into each other and became big fires.



Apparently Dresden was burning by the time the Americans flew over and dropped bombs to destroy anything left standing. So while I knew that Dresden had been destroyed during the war, I didn't realize that it had been fires that really did the ...

... we got there, we decided to accompany Brennan to the roof top bar for his free drink and to have some relaxing drinks ourselves. We stayed up at the roof top bar, watched soccer, and talked for a while. Then we went back to our room and hit the sack.

The next morning, we woke up and said goodbye to Brennan (he was going to Frankfurt but said he might come to see us for Katy's birthday in Regensburg) and went out for our last few hours in Dresden. We headed straight ...

Dresden is an awesome cool little city. We arrived by night didn't get to see much except for several feet of snow at the open-air train change we made somewhere on the way. In Dresden we met a couchsurfer named Pete, a self described "petless English guy" doing German to English translation work here in Dresden. We were his first guests, and Tim's first couchsurfing host! What fun! We went straightaway to a ...

... que tu m'avais prete. Fait interessant l'intrigue se deroulait en Suede pres de Malmo. A certains endroits du livre j'etais... a Malmo! Cocasse! Si tu le permets j'aimerais bien l'echanger contre le premier roman francais que je vais rencontrer. Beaucoup d'auberges offrent le service d'echange de livres. Il etait tres tres bon en passant et quelle bonne idee d'apporter un livre! Merci d'avance!!

... in front of a huge wall of glass beyond which were four floors of assembly line reaching up some 30 or 40 metres, I suppose. At ground level I watched as a black sedan was lowered from an overhead gantry into a very slowly moving cubicle where white coated technicians were seen to be fitting what seemed to be its audio equipment. The floors were of polished timber, the robotic arms gleamed in the artificial light, the paintwork on the cubicles was spotless and there ...

Dresden itself was impressive in the simple fact that it had been 80% destroyed in the second world war and yet many of the buildings now look as if they have stood for hundreds of years. the best part of this stay was actully outside of dresden on the czech border in an area called saxon bohemia with amazing rock formations, mountains, castles and a good few germans out with their nordic walking sticks.

... with us. Then Joe got lost so Shellane and I went by ourselves. She is a model/singer/actress who comes from Seattle but works in Barcelona. We had a really good rapport and chatted gaily all the way to Dresden. Joe reappeared and Shellane decided to go off to Munich, so Joe and I went to the huge Dresden hostel again. Played table tennis outdoors - I won 2-1 (Joe's quite good though). In the evening we headed ...
