Ahhh Germany

So, I've been in Germany over a month now. The longer I'm here, the more annoyed I get it seems. Please keep in mind I'm going on my 8th month of pregnancy, I don't sleep well, and it is 90 degrees outside with no ac inside except for our bedroom.

~No AC?!?! WTF?!?!

When I say no air conditioning anywhere but our bedroom, I mean it. For example, on Sunday, Noah and I went to the movies to see Shrek. By the time we got out of the movie (which was fabulous), our clothes were soaked in sweat. Yep, no ac even in the movie theater.

~Chivalry? How about just common courtesy?

I know that I've turned into a horrible, grouchy pregnant lady, but common courtesy here is non existent. I'm all too often left standing on the train while young men take up all the seats without it even crossing their little minds to offer it to the lady about to pop that is sweating profusely. Even worse, a man(40-50) cut in front of me at the ice cream place on my birthday. That is actually just dangerous. He's lucky I didn't bite him!!!

~German "fashion" LMAO-- here is some advice...

1. If you are wearing a tube top, wear a strapless bra. I don't think I've seen one girl here with a tube top or tank top without bra straps showing. It's tacky/trashy.

2. If you are wearing a white shirt or white shorts, you should wear white bra/panties. Again, looking at your zebra panties and green bra through your clothes is extremely trashy. I know they sell white bras and panties, even strapless ones. I bought one here!

3. Socks and sandals should ALWAYS be worn separately. If it is too chilly for sandals, DON'T WEAR THEM!! Please put on closed toe shoes.

4. I understand that being a ginger must be cool here, but red hair does not work for everybody. Actually, the only people I know the shade of red that is worn here works for is Bozo the Clown and Ronald McDonald. I know there is a lot of pain and suffering associated with this city, but every other woman tapping into their inner clown probably isn't going to help. Try smiling at each other instead. Smiling is my favorite!!! And it looks good on most people... to my next point..

5. Swish with flouride daily, floss daily, and brush your teeth at least twice a day. Deodorant is not optional. It is the hottest summer ever. Please wear it. I carry mine with me and reapply as needed. Just an idea..

6. Along with the history of the city comes a desire for the youth to be individuals. While I'm all for individuality, I don't really consider it being an individual when your whole group of friends have the same black hair, nose rings, lip rings, facial piercings, and black clothing you have on.

That's just my $.02 for the day. We finally have internet again, so hopefully I can get back to blogging regularly.
