Food and menus

Registered at govt agency and opened a bank account. Doing laundry.

walked through the grocery store to see what the food situation looks like. Most of the grocery stores here are very small compared to stores in the states. Essentials and good selection of meats, cheeses, and breads. I was hoping for tortillas, but the best I could find was Pita bread. I don’t have a frying pan or pot. They do have a tiny selection of pans (3) at the grocery store I was at.

I find that most German restaurants also have a very small selection. Many American menu’s have pages and pages on a menu, but the more traditional German restaurants have only a two sided menu. One side is usually drinks, and the other side has Schnitzel and sausage (a few other things of course).

Day 1

First day of my new life in Germany. I arrived yesterday, but that doesn’t really count does it?

I had a one day layover in London, but because O’Hare is the worst airport ever I got to London late (4 hours on the runway at Rockford Ill. airport) and I was too tired to do anything fun in London so that was a wasted day and night. If it was a 2 night layover it would have been much better.

I haven’t had a good nights sleep in a long time. I’ve had enough coffee to keep me awake a bit later today. That should help with the jet lag if I can stay up late.

tomorrow I have to register at the registration office (anytime you move in Germany you have to register your location with the authorities), and open a bank account.
