Germany: Pictures! February 18, 2004

Ok, I have some pictures. They're boring. I'll have some interesting ones soon:-).

On the first day, I stayed in a different place. Here is a picture of my room. It's already messy:

My mother (hi Mom!) drives a Volkswagen EuroVan. In Europe (where the name "Euro"Van comes from) it is called the California Event (at least for certain versions):

Ok, so in my building there are 4 washing machines and 1 dryer, and the dryer takes 3 times as long as a wash cycle, so the dryer is always busy. So, I draped my clothing over anything and everything in my room:

As I said, I moved to a different room after the first day. Here is my current room:

Everyday I ride the S-Bahn to the language school. The S-Bahn shown here is going away the opposite direction. This is in front of my dorm complex:

This was a picture of 2 trains hitting eachother at the moment of impact. Ok, I lie, but it looks like it could be.

Mom:
I love your pictures! Take some more!
Any particular reason there's a smashed computer outside the window? I like my car much better being a Eurovan than I would if it were a California Event! A Eurovan by any other name....I didn't realize that I was so influenced by marketing techniques!

crewchild2000:
