The first time I was late for work today. My alarm didn't go off and of course its never my fault. So I was half an hour late, got ready fast and took the bike to work. Yes, a bicycle! Jens gave me a bicycle, its not the best but its cute. It's white with a pink stripe, it suits me. hehehe. Anyway, it was the first time I ever rode the bike in public to go somewhere. It's crazy because, there's a bike lane here. I still don't know it cause sometimes it just ends but then its on the otherside without me knowing it. OMG surprise! So many things to watch out for if you're riding a bike here. First you have to watch for the pedestrians, then the cars, other cyclers, the traffic lights and the pigeons. That's right the fuckin pigeons. They are everywhere and they take their damn ass time to fly and walk around like they're humans. They fly whenever and anytime they like. Sometime they just fly over your shoulder when you least expected.
Besides the pigeons, there are other things or I should say living things. One morning on my first opening for work. I woke up at 4am to go to work for 6 am. Yeah I know it's early but I have a long walk and I need to get ready and I like to take my time getting ready. So, as I walk out of my building I turned left and ran into a mouse. A freakin' mouse walked into me. Well it hit my shoe and I almost screamed. Luckily, I held my mouth first and just kinda jumped around to get away from it. But the stupid thing was also trying to wake up I guess cause it is really early too for them. So that woke me up big time. So I ran away as far as I could from it. After that, I decided to walk in the middle of the road instead, since there's no car first thing in the morning. While I was walking, I noticed that there's little things moving on the ground mostly on the side of the road and by the trees or bushes and under tables from patios. I looked closer and they are all mices. OMG, there's a festival of mice in the morning. Unbelievable!!!!!! I was so afraid to walk on the sidewalk cause why, shit the rodents took over it. It's theirs when we're all sleeping but this time it's one human being against hundreds of them. I lost the battle so I got what is left.
Oh my lord! Besides the rodents and the birds, there's the germans. The germans are also difficult. It is soo different here when it comes to people. Most people are so narrow minded, they only see one thing. I've heard so many things from people here who are not germans and they all say and experienced the same thing. I know my german is like that but at least my german is trying to change. There's so many things that are fun here and cool but at the same time, so many things doesnt make sense either. I won't go into any details cause it will go on forever. Oh, and people here work like slaves. OMG. They just stay at work and it seems like work is their life...Fuck that, not for me. I go home after work and enjoy my life. hell!

Well jojo.. I liked your comment about the birds and mice.. they are annoying.. i experienced something alike.. and the German.. man.. i had to work with them in their project.. if the head would be like their minds.. that would be a perfect square.
