This weekend was just completly awesome. When I was waiting for Katherine at Hamburg Hauptbahnhof, I actually started talking to this woman I thought to be Katherine, but all of a sudden I realized she looked like one of those poor animals they use for testing makeup, so I knew that wasn't her. When we had found each other, she gave me this little Dutch house made of porcelain, which actually had very tasty liquor in it. On the car, I actually had to translate a lot of English into German and German into English, just like I did throughout the whole weekend.
Katherine's German was a lot better than my mom's English, though. I am actually too lazy to write a real entry now, plus Katherine already posted about it. But take my advice: don't watch Band of Brothers (in Dolby Digital, because of my awesome home-cinema system) in 10 straight hours. Afterwards I felt like I was one of those soldiers in WWII. But the calming, continous sound of a MG42 actually worked better than a lullaby on me.
I'll just stop here and conclude this was awesome, even though I sometimes missed the "CynicalWaffle" in front of what Katherine said.
Hopefully I can visit her in Berlin.
