Rain drops or roses and whiskers on kittens....These are a few of my favourite things!

Good old Germany, how happy I am to almost be back in your embrace :)

I decided that I am not yet excited enough; so I thought I would remind myself just how wonderful this little country in the center of Europe is. And you may be asking yourself, "well Katie how are you going to do this?" Well with a list of my favourite this about Germany of course!

1. Nudity on day time telvision and in fashion magazines....I always felt like a perve for reading those or watching it in public. Poor sheltered and cencored North America!

2.Being able to drink the tap water!!! It comes directly from springs and tastes like you are drinking a mountain...is it FABULOUS DARLING!

3. The food!!! I love beer, I love sasuage, I love mustard....I think I found my perfect food land!

4. Oktoberfest ;D. An entire event with the focus on drinking, eating, dancing, getting drunk and signing? Yes please!

5. Making the Germans pronounce Car...seriously try it, they cannot pronounce our "R" sound

6. Christmas Markets! I am excited to be able to participate in a not completely commercialized christmas! And the muled wine with actual chestnuts roasting on an open fire hehe.

7. The mountains; i live in the world flattest area i think! My economic teacher once said "this is the only place your dog could try to run away and you could still see it a mile away!" It sucks, i am origionally from British Columbia...so i need the mountains!!

8. Seeing my old exchange buddies. It has been three years since I have seen any of them!

9. Discos!!! They just now how to party in Germany. Plus I am thinking of dressing total GLAM ROCK and sticking out like a sore thumb haha.

10. Being in the land of the Birkinstocks! I will finally be able to wear mine without people looking at my like I am a dirty Hippy. YAAAAY! I seriously wear mine everyday from spring to winter...I don't know why I own any other summer shoes?



European version of fashion...sans clothing!




My Birks! Ingnore the ships polish and the fact that i look freakishly white...i promise I am not THAT white lol




Picture I took in Ulm...look at all the people!


OHHH and how could I forget about the crazy German music! Here is Rammstein's Du Hast. Check it out, the video kinda creeps me out though haha.
