wicked cold

i left berlin early and went to leipzig. which just so happens to be where johannes sebastian bach lived and worked. so i saw his grave and everything- which i wasnt expecting. just happened upon on the first day. it was really nice to see a german town taht isnt all new buildings. i met three american girls at the hostel. one was lear ning german in berlin and the other two were teaching english in germany. they me t in college. but what was cool (besides their sharing the mini-keg they bought) is taht they had this weird fluiditly between german and english. even the girl still learning german. i k now people do it, but it isnt too often that americans do it. the german woman who worked the front desk, was cool and told us that we needed to travel while we were young and that we should see all parts of countries. the big cities and small cities and villages.

but right now, after a crazy train ride, i'm in prague. i got off in dresden too earl y and was at the other train station, and not the main one. so i had to wait two hours to catch the next train. i would have explored dresden in the meantime, but i (of course) didnt have any map. so the lacek of knowledge as to where i was, prohibitied me. and my pants ripped. which is just plain annoying. at any rate, prague isnt as cold as germany. germany was wickeed cold. i had to buy leggings and some more long sleeved shirts. which i proceeded to wear all at once and was still cold. i think i definately need a scarf. everyone say s that poland the the coldest. i now understand why women weear leggings, boots and leg warmers! i kind of want leg warmers now, i wont lie. also, chunky chunky sweaters.
