I have so much to tell you, but I should really keep this short because free internet cafes only work if people don't spend hours in them. . .
I'm in Düsseldorf at the moment in the middle of a field with more tents than I have ever seen before in my life. There are people everywhere and so many languages- the people in front of me at the moment are speaking something that I think is African, and there are Italians all over the place, and Bero was right about the French (they are loud and obnoxious in large groups) and I've seen Aussies and Canadians and Brazilians and Greeks and lots of flags that I'm fairly certain are South American and lots more flags that I can't begin to recognize. I went up in the big television tower thing a few nights ago and I could see all of Düsselfdorf alight and I was something like 168 meters in the air and there were fireworks and it was gorgeous. I went to Cologne yesterday and there were people everywhere and I took pictures and on the unknown future day that I show them to you you will be amazed.
I can't begin to capture how crazy things are right now, and I need to wrap up because Iäm short on time.
I love you guys!

I'm living in some sort of crazy little commune college called Hampshire, and I have adventures that mainly involve wearing top hats and making silly faces. When I get some time between reading books about war and books about Jews, I tell you about my adventures, which are always more interesting than your life.

If you're lucky you should have your boots by the end of next week.

Just curious - with all those people in Duesseldorf, how long is the line for the bathroom??
Sounds like you're having a blast over in Germany!! Keep posting, I feel like this is the only way I can stay in touch with you for awhile!! Muah!! God bless, Victoria (the crazy DYC girl)
There's not really ever a line for the bathroom, actually- there are plenty of them set up and people are always spread out across 3 or more cities doing all the millions of things there are to do here. Plus, I'm lucky enouch to be living in the Volunteer Camp, where there are only something like 500-600 people and we have our own (likely cleaner) facilities.
Hey Kari!!! I wasin Bonn yesterday and had a similar experience!! email me!
I haven't actually seen any of the tv coverage, although I've seen newspapers. . . it really is crazy, though, that I was there for this huge event. . . I had a blast!
