pastel perspective

I suppose I immediately began comparing Munich to England. the united states was somewhere else in my mind. Aleks and I had been walking the clean pastel streets of Munich, while snow slowly fell, for only a few hours when i noticed something different. Please do not take this as shallow or an expression an any ill will towards england, but as a general all around subjective opinion, the people in germany are just more attractive. better looking? ageing well? maybe its my own personal aesthetic.






And they obey cross walk signs.


In england, if there is a gap between traffic large enough for a small dog to quickly scurry through then there is plenty of room for a pedestrian to sprint across the street. often causeing cars to quickly break, and their drivers, in that time it takes for them to slow down, to give a friendly annoyed scowl. Aleks made sure i understood that a german driver is much less likely to slow down for any silly pedestrian attempting a cross. Crosswalk etiquette? Its like the living room lava game and stepping on the street when the light is red is simply frowned upon, i suppose.







anyway...i had so much more to write about munich, chai tea latte, oh german food, twin peaks, pastel buildings, madonna, castles, dolly parton, jenny, the devestations, mermaids with eating disorders and well there just isn't any time now that i've procrastinated so much. i apologize. i'll just post some pretty pictures and then get on to another post and studying and traveling and.

are you aware you are seated in an emergecny exit? (Fight Club? a glance around) yes i am. And are you willing and capable of performing the emergency exit procedure? (tyler durden, a look at the guy next to me, is he laughing inside like I am?) sure.
