Only in Germany

Well, my week started off on an odd note. I went to Choir, and they've hired a mad man to warm up our voices. I'd say we did maybe 3 scales and that was it. The rest of the time was spent hitting ourselves and each other. I know what you're thinking, but I haven't lost my mind yet. We were instructed to standing in comprimsing strecth positions and hit our ribs cages, arms, legs and beat our chests like Tarzan. After self-inflicting pain, we got to turn around to the person next to us and hit them on their backs. Germany is a confusing place to be...

When buying milk I came across the Lego exhibition. The above picture is entirely made of Lego. There were also Roman and Greek Temples in Lego, Freiburg Ciry in Lego, New York in Lego and needless to say a lot of people with time on their hands. But it did make my trip for the cheapest milk (61c) worth my while. I've yet to beat 61c for milk but I hear there's a Penny Mart where it's 60c, How exciting!



Thomas's wife has visited him, she looks about 14 so they are well matched. Ian asked if I knew if it was a "shotgun marriage", we haven't asked out of politeness but now we're curious. It's nice to have a girl around the place. We get on great even though we have no common language, which is probably why we get on so well...there's a thought.

The bells are tolling! (the bells, the bells!) It's wonderful to hear them...even at 2am but you get over it pretty quick. The sound of them is awesome when you stand in the Rathaus Square or at the Munster (The Cathedral). Here's a smaple of what you hear most of the time when it's on the hour. Ok, so I wan't born a professional camera man, I don't quite get the whole taking a video thing (Ask Jenny) but here's what the bells sound like and how bad I am with a camera. Enjoy!
