Also is a picture of Kathrin enjoying her "colaweizen." Yep, that's right, cola and beer mixed together...apparently it's legal...at least at some establishments.
Lucky timing for me, Kathrin's roomate was out of town for the week, so I had a whole room to myself in her flat in the town of Schrobenhausen, population 20,000 (although maybe a gross overstatement by her estimates).
After sleeping soundly, the next day, I found my way to Munich to do some exploring. But not before making a train stop at Ingolstadt, a neighboring city. I realized I was in for something different when I could barely recognize two things on the dinner menu the previous night, but, not being able to tell which bathroom was Men and which was Women....well, that was really a trip.
What about you? Are you an adept enough linguist or savvy enough traveler for that matter to determine which is the boys' room and which is the girls?? Go ahead, give it your best shot.
If, in the absence of pictograms, you deduced that "Damen" sounds like a boy's name, so it must be the Men's room, and "Herren" has "her" in it, so it must be for ladies....then you are absolutely.....WRONG!
Fortunately, I was able to hold it long enough to wait for a man to come out of the Herren's room...and should have realized (silly rabbit), Damen's for dames....duh!
Okay, bored already? Thought so. So, here is another picture of some food. My lunch in Munich. Sauerbraten, again (yes, I did eat other things), only this time not as creamy, and this time with a pretzel, kraut and a whole different type of knodel (not really sure how to describe....think matzoh ball, but with leavened breadcrumbs).
