So, I just got back from my 10 day Germany trip. I went mainly to visit my friend Olli who lives there, but we were also going to Winterclash – the biggest competition in rollerblading right now. It was my first trip to Europe, and was definitely the best vacation I have ever had. You can check out my facebook for pictures, or check back here for some stories about individual ones.

5 Things that I realized about Germany compared to Canada:

- The cars are so much smaller. Everywhere. Partly because of the higher gas prices, and partly because of the smaller roads. But in general, I loved it. Less is more.

- Beer is cheaper than water. Literally.

- The food is richer. Everything has something extra to offer. For example… 3% milk is normal. And almost everyone drinks Perrier type water – the kind with bubbles.

- The air is fresher. I love it.

- Less pop stars. The youth isn’t so concerned with the north american pop culture. It definitely still exists, but girls aren’t loading on the makeup.
