Germany, confusion, and bier!

Last night Adam and I shared a bed, and I'm quite sure, that at some stage, I played the role of 'little spoon'... let me explain...

A few weeks ago I met a girl named Silvana at the UC Berkeley campus while I was cruising around Berkeley with my good friend Tom. Just so happens she was an exchange student from Munich (where Oktoberfest is) and had a friend in Munich that offered us a place to stay (thanks Krissi and Silvana!). Only issue was that on the night we got into Munich, Krissi was celebrating her mom's 50th birthday and wasn't going to be around to let us in. Krissi suggested we stay in a hostel, which was most likely to be full due to Oktoberfest, OR we just pull an all nighter and meet her in the morning before she went to school. Which option do you think we chose?!

So after arriving in Munich airport at 10:30pm, Adam and I began the long and difficult process of getting ourselves into downtown Munich. In reality it shouldn't be difficult at all, but due the fact that all of the writing on the ticket machine was in German, we stuggled to buy train tickets. After much confusion and asking multiple people we finally managed to get tickets to get us into Munich. Then because we're just plain stupid, we got on the train that goes the longest way possible to get to the stop we needed to get to. All in all we made it into the city around 12:30am.

Then began the drinking...

We went to multiple bars/nightclubs, the first of which was a tiny bar playing German music with people singing loudly and dancing and jumping about. After a few drinks there we headed off to a night club type place which was almost entirely filled with dudes. Naturally we only stayed there long enough to get our drinks down. Then we went next door to a much larger night club with more girls (but still a lot of dudes). It was funny to me that even though I was 7000 miles from home I knew probably 90% of the music. They were playing the same music you would hear in an American club, except every now and again they would throw in some ACDC... lol. Adam and I spent nearly the entire night observing and attempting to speak English with hammered Germans which was extrememly entertaining! As one would imagine there's only so many people out partying at 4am on a Sunday night.

About 5am we headed back to the train station, stuggled some more to buy the proper train ticket, and then made our way to the exit where we were going to meet Krissi. We chowed down some food at little bakery, then met up with Krissi around 7am and headed to her apartment. She lives in a large apartment complex similar to dorms you'd find at any college so she only has one full size bed with no couches and a tile floor. In the drunken state we were in naturally neither Adam or I gave a shit, so we piled in the bed and passed out. According to Adam, he woke up at some point in the night with his face in my back very confused as to where in the world he was... and so that's how I played the role of 'little spoon'!

Now its almost 1 in the afternoon, and I'm going back to sleep... I need to get my body ready for much more beer consumption very soon...
