Been a while....
So I haven't had much of a chance to hop on the net...but that doesn't mean I've been uber busy! Al came and spent a couple days....great to have her! I think she was relieved to come back to the world of ENGLISH! haha...it's weird how comforting it is to have people speak English...As for all the questions...the toilets don't actually have toilet bowls...they do, but it's not a tank of water...so when you flush you hold down one side of the button thingy and water shoots from the back of the bowl and it pushed it down into a smaller basin and then you push the other side of the button and the water stops...so I don't know what you want to call that! haha...as for the toilet paper even people in america don't understand how to put the toilet paper roll on right...it should so that you have to spin it towards you and the paper falls down...but yes if we are going by those standards the toilet paper is backwards! haha...The Danube River is not blue, it's murky green and yellow...really gross looking....and I'm not sure what else was asked but I can get back to it for ya! haha...As for the Vienna Sausages they are just called Frankfurters and that is not a hot dog because those are just Weiners....pronouncing the W as a V....I think thats enough of an educational experience for ya for today! haha...I miss Dairymen's like somethin' fierce! I miss all of you co-workers even more! Can't wait to come back, definately ready for camping...anything inexpensive! haha...Ang called the other day...SO GOOD TO HEAR HER VOICE! And Leah called last nite that was a great surprise! Leah and her men...what can I say....haha....Mom called yesterday too...she just finished doing her interim job at the hospital and needless to say she is utterly relieved! She wants me to go to Paris so I'm doin it! Next weekend I'm leaving on Friday on the Eurorail...should be fun...I miss everyone so much that the days here are getting longer....I really wished I could've been there for the last school song played in Marenisco High School....many tears shed for this side...Also congrats Mark on graduation...Dan I found you something kick ass now its just a matter of finding the store again! haha...I don't know how many souvenirs I'll be able to bring back but I'll try kids! Maybe just lots of chocolate! haha...wish I could bring the ice cream back with me...it's delicious! It's actually nice weather here today...it's 20 some degrees....the best its been in a while! I'm getting use to the language and weird looks...and I just had a guy walk by and speak German to me like I would understand...so I think the huge AMERICAN stamp thats on my forehead is rubbing off...I found a cute tank top for 5 euros that has the word FRUKT on it...with cherries and stuff...its super cute! Jaime, Tom, Stacy, and Cat are in Buda and Pest this weekend...another informative fact for ya'all...Budapest is actually two cities...Buda and Pest :D I think I've been leaving the Carrie Miller mark on Austria...we've taught our teachers slang...more then they probably want to know! haha...But we're all learning...class is insane now...in conversation we have to talk in German the whole time....doesn't she realize we've only been studying German for 3 weeks?!?!!? haha...I'm gettin' kind of good...for coming over here and not knowing anything I'd say I'm an ace! haha...Jaime and I do however play a lot of mash during class though so I'm sure I could probably know more! Well I suppose i should get going...love you and miss you all tons! See you in a week and two days! Servus!
