Re: Travel Part 2 - Where ya headed?

Our main contact here was telling us about how his wife and him go to the one in Marienplatz. It sounds amazing.

I told my boss I'd be willing to take a nine-month to a year-long project starting no later than the last week in April and go through Christmas.

Air fares are going down starting next week. I just found san diego to tokyo for 411 on air canada and lax to tokyo on delta, for 610. try a few web sites for comparisons. Try Secret Flying, google flights or points guys. all of them are good alternatives.

So I'm at a Nachtmarket festival on the eve of assumption day.

It's like the Minnesota state fair here except the food, beer, and music doesn't suck.

They have bacon, beer, and whiskey stands.

If the food and beer you're consuming at the state fair sucks, you're eating the wrong food, and drinking the wrong beer.

Or I'm not, and Europe (and likely much but not all of the world) has legitimately better food than we have.

The only thing so far that Murica does significantly better is beef. The steaks in the US are much better. A case could be made for beer, but when you work in the cost, America starts to lose its significant lead. Especially at the state fair. I got half a liter of a good dunkel for €4 ($4.72).

The food at the fair is just starting to get gross. Everything is deep far fried. Here there was tons of rotisserie meats, strudels, various burgers, tons of other desserts. All very reasonably priced. Nothing more than €6-€7.

So the variety may be better. Not necessarily the quality. :D
 
Re: Travel Part 2 - Where ya headed?

And because of fog in Amsterdam this morning, we get farked and miss our flight to MSP. :mad:
 
Re: Travel Part 2 - Where ya headed?

Our agent booked a night at the Sheraton for us. I'm ok with that. Amsterdam is a great city. Been here a few times as well.

Our flight from Munich had about 10-11 people heading to MSP that missed. All of the flights sold out almost immediately. We're here until 1 pm tomorrow.
