Update from Munich
This week Munich is having the worst Oktoberfest weather in history. Everyone is talking about it. On Tuesday it actually snowed -- the first snow in September on record, apparently -- and all the other days this week have been cold and wet and miserable.
And all the people are cold and wet and miserable, too.
I am on lunch break from my German class. I had to run by the bank and the post office so I thought I would stop in at my old haunt, the Internet Cafe, and try to use up my last ticket before it expires.
They aren't kidding when they call this German course "Super-Intensive." Two weeks of German for eight hours a day is about as intensive as I want to go (although they also offer a 4-week option). I am learning a lot and the teachers are great. I think I may come back for two more weeks later this fall or in the winter, but first I want to take some time to use the German I'm learning now.
Oh -- my e-mail address is apparently not working properly. Amanda sent me a message to Hotmail and cc'd my other address and the Hotmail one never showed up. If you have my other address and need to write me, please use it rather than Hotmail. (Or just leave me a comment here and I will send you the other address. I don't like to put it here because any address I use on RW becomes a spam-magnet.) I haven't had much mail to speak of in the last week or so, but I just figured everyone was busy like me. Now I'm not so sure. If you've written me recently and haven't heard back, I may not have received it. Sorry.
