Oh boy, I cannot believe that the last entry was two weeks ago. And I'm not quite sure what to write this time. A lot has happened, but I keep forgetting as much as well.
Anyway, I think I'll just start with more recent events. On Friday evening I took another stroll through downtown and towards 'Little Italy', which was quite nice. Yesterday I booked a car with "Autoshare.com" for the first time. They even have a car inside my building. And when you're member you actually build up your insurance history over here in Canada. It's a neat deal.
So with my new found freedom, I drove to "Dimpflmeier" a German Bakery, a home store to get some missing bits and pieces and to Lindt Chocolate Factory Outlet. I have to say I was a bit disappointed with the Lindt Outlet. In Aachen you could buy chocolate for at least half a year and spend less then 30 €. Now for 30 $ I only got a tiny amount of chocolate... but it might actually be for the better, since I can eat loads of chocolate once I get started.
The car is always booked for 30 min increments and I booked it for 4.5h. I thought that was plenty of time, but by the time I got back time had nearly run out. So I really had to hurry up. I only had about 45 min left to do my groceries (loads of water), fill the gas and get some beer (always good if I have friends over). As strange as it may seem, beer is sold in specific shops over here. Actually, anything with alcohol is separated from the rest. So that was extra stop.
I somehow managed to pull all off and return the car in one piece and on-time. That was good going.
On my tour (Saturday), I noticed signs for for a 5k run that was on today (Sunday). So I checked it out online, registered and took part today. Right now my legs are really heavy, but it feels good to challenge yourself from time to time.
OK, time to go. I might actually watch the AUS:GER game later on.(0:4 - nice start for GER)
Oh, before I forget. Thanks to the two brave ones, daring to take part in the polls. I'll take your feedback on board.
