Deutsche Land!!!

H and arrived in Cologne (Koln) via a high speed train from Brussels and are already in love with this country. After finding our hostel by asking an Argentine handbag saleswoman in German if she spoke English, negative, then spanish, affirmative. While wandering we encountered a century-old pipe shop staffed by the friendliest sales people we've met thus far. We've seen restaurants serving beautiful korean, italian, spanish, japanese, turkish, and of course the almighty schnitzel slingers. In 1 kilometer of walking we've already seen a leather bondage-wear store, and Dr Müller's Sex Häus...

Cannot wait to have a cold Kölsch beer, the specialty of the city. And the prices are reasonable! What a country! and to top it all off, tonight Germany plays Turkey in the Eurocup semi-final match, so we anticipate some very germanic, sing songy soccer rioting.
