Yes, I'm still alive.
I'm horrible at updating this thing, and it's about 5am but I wanted to update a quick cultural quirk.
First of all, Happy Easter!
Now for the quirk. Okay, so I went out tonight to a club in Mannheim. Totally normal, saturday night, just happens to be the night before easter. So we get there around 11, and walk in and the place is still warming up. Then the lights come on, and they ask everybody to leave the dancefloor. My friend that explains to me that from Thursday at midnight until Saturday at midnight, there is a no-dancing law. Yes, a LAW. So until midnight, nobody was allowed to dance. I heard at some other clubs they put tables on the dancefloor to keep people from dancing. Just goes to show that Germany is actually, surprisingly, still religious. This came as a surprise to me, I must admit, considering how incredibly liberal Germany is compared with America - to have dancing forbidden because of a catholic holiday. I could imagine something like that in Italy, with the Vatican there, but Germany surprised me. Nonetheless a good time was had.
Well I'm off to Copenhagen on Monday for a week. I promise to do a full update and post some pictures when I get back.
Time is absolutely flying here. I can't believe it's almost April.
TERRIFYING!

Come July, I know that I am NOT going to want to come home. But I refuse to think about that... :)
