The best food I have had in Innsbruck & Munich is...

Crap from the street stands, freaken great!

Yes, we did take a tour of Munich Germany...

I was trying my hardest to not look or act tourist but I sold out and jumped on the double decker bus and took the tour. I was great! It took us around the city and gave us all the historical facts...well worth the 18 Euros.

BMW factory in Munich...

I've never wanted one unless I was given a M6 but DAMN, taking that tour may change my mind & view of BMW forever. What a great marketing machine it is. You take a tour of the plant, museum, etc. & they have all their new cars available for you to sit in, take pictures & get info from them with no hassle. They also had a full-scale F1 replica of this years car. WOW, it was freaken sweet. I had no clue those cars were so narrow. I went to the BMW store but couldn't pull the trigger on buying anything since I have never been a BMW owner. This could change soon! No, not on the money I make but when my fiance finishes school she wants the all new cross vehicle called the X6. She fell in love with a black one and I fell in love with the 20 inch optional black rims...f'n murdered out yo! Maybe she'll let me take it to the car wash for her!

I need a freaken Big Gulp BAD...

So I'm getting used to the fact that there are no free refills & drinks come with little or no ice. It's nice sitting down for a meal, etc. but after walking all day it's not enough. The table I sat at for dinner after walking around all day looked like a drink sampling station. I had for myself atleast two Coke Lights, two glass bottles of water, a glass of white wine & a liter of beer. I was so freaken thirsty I didn't know what I wanted I just wanted liquid! I wish I had a camera phone, classic Amercan shot in Germany.

Showers & elevators = for midget use only

Yup, we love our stuff big in America including showers & elevators. I still can't get over how narrow places are. I've seen plenty German's bigger than me, I don't know how they do it.

I vote to get rid of that rowing rental place on Lady Bird Lake & build a beer garden...

We were in Munich walking around the English Gardens which is like Lady Bird Lake/Zilker Park x 100,000,000 and every mile or so we would hit a beer garden. Awesome idea! Everyone around there looked fit so why not? I totally think this could fly in Austin. They already turn Zilker into a parking garage for blues on the green and destroy the grass so why not tear up some of the park for a beer garden?

Just a quick heads up...

My internet on my phone is acting really weird cause it bounces off of carriers (T-Mobile, O2, E-Plus, Vodaphone) so most of my posts hits in one day, sorry my bad.

Also, I'm just punching crap into my phone & posting so I may have mispelled a ton of stuff or I may have offended you so let me appologize now, my bad.

Innsbruck Austria: I can see myself living here...

I'm shocked, I came here thinking it was gonna be "whatever" and no I can call the place "home". It's such a cool town. The people, the weather, the sights, the bike, the cars, etc. I was just blown away & I can't explain it. I don't know much about it but I do know it got jacked up in WW II. I will definately be back to just chill and get away from it all. Now off to Munich Germany, let's see if it can compete!

They freaken LOVE porn over here...

So I tried to watch some tv after coming home from the bars & I was shocked to NOT find 17 cheese channels & instead finding 17 channels of pure porn (not Disney style either, I'm talking people going to town on each other). I'm an idiot & came across the new Jason Mraz video on MTV Europe & left it there.

Saw a dude attempting to steal stuff...

Crazy, I was at a club & there is a hall by the restrooms to hang your coat (which was jam packed by the way) and this guy walked out of the men's room & felt up almost every coat for valuables, etc. Crazy man! I followed him out and he walked straigh outta the club (like I was gonna do anything).

The water out here is SO freaken cold...

I've been drinking out of the bathroom sink, I swear. Also, it's pretty dope so see steam come out of the toilet bowl when warm pee hits that COLD water.

Eric Selken is calling a change of location for my bachelor party...

(WARNING: not cool for people under 18)

A group of Andria's friends were walking by a strip club & you know how most door guys try to hustle you in for the specials, we'll this door guy see's that they are all American & tells the guys "come on in guys, we have blow jobs & midgets"!

I know Selken loves midgets so he'll want to come to Austria!

The song of the summer EVERYWHERE I go is...

Kid Rock "All Summer Long". This just goes to show that the world was listening online to the JB & Sandy Morning Show when Sandy called that song to be the hit song of the summer. Just to confirm it, Andria told me it's been on everywhere this ast month.

Student from LSU & Alabama have officially made all American's look like a**holes...

So I'm out at a beer garden/club in Innsbruck & noticed a bunch of American's there. Only thing is they were all in soccer jersey's, khaki shorts, loafers, ball caps & they grew out their stashes for their last night in town. I was told they were there doing some sort of undergrad program from LSU & university of Alabama...this explains it, they're all 20 year old guys blowing it out. It was all fun & games until they started crap with the locals that go there just to hang. I was totally embarrased. Later talking to a waiter he explained they come every year & the locals just think they are a joke. I hope they don't think that's how we all are just cause a few bad eggs. ALSO, I saw the door guy kick one guy out that couldn't even walk. He made it to the bench out front & passed out on his back. I waited to see if his frat friends were gonna come get him or check on him but they didn't. I grabbed one of Andria's guy friends to help me go out and turn him on his stomach so he wouldn't chock on puke if he threw up. I've come a long way cause a few years ago I wouldve said "he deserved whatever happens". I hope he made his flight the next day.

I know why myself & other fellow American's are unhealthy...

So I went to McDonald's today in Austria because I'm burned out already on sausage & all the other fine foods here in Austria PLUS I wanted to try the Kung Fu Panda burger. We'll I did manage to get the combo which was your usual burger with fries & drink. I got a Coke Light (their diet Coke) and when I asked for ketchup it was .30 Euros. F@ck that, if I'm gonna pay for ketchup I'm gonna try the other sauces they have. I bought a sour cream sauce & a curry one...bad move to dip fries in. I was blown away to hear that most or all condiments cost extra. This explains why everyone in town is super-fit.

Lufthansa Airlines goes on strike & that the airlines we're on to come home...

Great, I'm not even one day in Innsbruck Austria & I get news that the airlines has gone on strike. People (atleast the American students) are freaking out, I keep you in the loop.

I've been a dumb American all along...

I went out today in Austria and the people we're pretty cool. I also notced is that it's really nice here. The buildings are really modern, the cars are way cooler than any of our cars in the U.S. Also the vibe here is different. In America we're just always in a hurry to do things. Example: when we're out eating here you can stay at your table for hours where in the US they bring your ticket as soon as you look finished. They don't work on tips out here so I guess that's why but damn it's pretty sweet here. Also, we meet some dude from Switzerland that was traveling alone and he hung with us all night...meet Andy.

I've made it to Innsbruck & I realized why everyone has been so friendly with me...

So my train got to Innsbruck & Andria was waiting for me at the train station. We took a short cab to her hotel/dorm she's been staying in & I offered to pay. Once paying she said "what am I doing" & I said "just paying and giving him a $2 Euro tip". Tipping is not common here because they've built it into the fair already so since Germany they must of thought I was a baller. Here's a photo of some of Andria's law school buds with the waitress I tipped WAY too much in Innsbruck Austria!

Being here for a few hours now makes me realize how spoiled we are with our air conditioning in America...

It's hot everywhere. I lost five pounds just sitting in the two hour train ride to Innsbruck. I don't know if I can take it. Also, everyone eats & drinks outside cause the kitchens inside make it too hot!

If you ever forget your copy of USA Today (with Bush on the cover) in Germany at the bar just leave it there!

After drinking those two Beck's to smooth me out before I get on the two hour train ride to Innsbruck Austria I saw my train arrive, paid my tab and forgot the paper I bought in Chicago. I was about to turn back and get it until I heard "f@ck Bush, blah, blah, blah, hof, du hast, ich will, Bush". On that not I kept on trucking and got on my train. I learned quickly that from here on out don't engage in talks about politics in America with the natives UNLESS I'm wearing my "Obamamos 2008" t-shirt!

Beer is a lot stronger here in Germany...

So I am able to chill out now and wait for my train to arrive in two hours, it's beer-thirty. For now atleast I only ordered what looked familiar. There was NO Coors Light but I did manage to grab a Beck's (kiss my ass, it looked familiar). I ended up having two of them and was really buzzed. I thought maybe it was the elevation but just realized their booze is stronger.

I'm now at a really freaken big train station & I wanna go home...

Okay, I made it from the airport in Munich to their really big train station. Now, I need to find the platform to catch a two hour train ride to Innsbruck Austria. This is where I really would like my phone to be working cause I have to call Andria & tell her what time I get in. I went to one of the million T-Mobile pay phones they have here & tried to put Euros in it to call her but the problem was is I had no clue how much the call would be, they didn't accept credit cards & I didn't know the country code...I'm screwed! I went into a cellphone or should I say "handy" dealership (f'n Europeans) to try to buy a cellphone but the dude was pretty cool when I told him my situation and he just sold me a phone card to call America & gave me the correct country code to dial. I was able to call out, let Andria know what time I got in & my nerves were a bit smoother...time for a beer.

I just got to Munich & my phone doesn't work...

Ok, when you turn on your phone & your far from home you want it to work properly. We'll I turned it on and it said "SIM card rejected". Not the message you wanna get when you are needing to call and make arrangements to get picked up, etc. It's a good thing my fiance left me some pretty detailed instructions on where to go when I get out of the airport. NOTE: I've been in Germany for 30 minutes & I've already seen like five men & womens underwear shops called "Palmers". I guess it's our Victoria's Secret but with dude stuff...weird.
