Spotted in Germany #2: Unicorns, Schnitzels and Kaufland The size of a regular beer in Germany is often close to half the size of my arm German television is fascinating: not only do they dub everything in German, there’s at least six Tell Sell-channels that try to get you to buy the most exquisite junk you’re ever seen (mostly jewelry and terrible women’s clothes) There’s a never just ‘a Schnitzel’ on the menu: you always get at least three (in turn, the size of my entire arm) Kaufland (‘So gut kan billig sein!’ was the old slogan, ‘Hir bin ich richtig!’ is the lesser replacement, sadly) is my favourite supermarket: not only is it the size of a small village, there’s also so many ridiculous stuff you can buy. I set myself a goal today to buy something redonkulous under ten euros. I found a stuffed pink unicorn (photo) and a Grumpy Rodent, also stuffed About Kaufland: I found a half eaten bar of chocolate amidst the stuffed rodents and a half empty can of Red Bull next to the kids’ fire trucks. Someone’s been naughty About our hotel: it’s without a doubt the most sci-fi I’ve ever seen. Examples: in my parent’s apartment there is a built in microwave that emerges from within a cupboard. Automated blinds come rolling down unannounced, in such a way that they shut out my dad today who was sitting on the balcony. Hilarious stuff. Also spherical sci-fi lamps galore. The entire hotel is white, bit like 2001: A Space Odyssey.

Spotted in Germany #1: on zee Autobahn whilst driving to Heidelberg When still in Holland, in the province of Limburg, the sign for chemical complex that read ‘Chemelot’. The only cars that could manage more than 170 km p/h were either Audi’s, BMW’s or Mercedes cars. Some 15 fifteen members of the German motor club ‘Outlaws’ passed us on their motorcycles. Fun fact: there was one ‘Probationary Outlaw’. (photo) Interlingual puns: signs that said ‘Neuwied’ (nieuwe wiet!) and ‘Sandkaul’ (zandkuil). Soundtrack Day 1: listen on Spotify
