Ssssssssssssssssso.

My grandmother, you know? She loves classical music, and she's getting old. She wants to see the birthplace of music while she still can.

A week ago she said she wants to take me and my parents to

Germany

Summer 2009

yyyyyyyyyyeah

I've already talked this over with several people, and mostly my problem is like this: I travel to eat, but I have a fundamental disagreement with about half the foods Germany is famous for, so why the fuck would I get on a flight of several hours to go there? The solution that comes most readily is for me to turn it into a trip to a fairytale world they have gorgeous landscapes that are too beautiful to ever possibly exist, and lots of cake. So basically like Japan, only all the savory food is really cholesteroltastic, and instead of knowing what I'm doing and where I'm going because I can read the signs, I have to depend on someone else for stupid shit like that.

OH GOD SOMEBODY SAVE ME

tl;dr i r spoiled brat who can't appreciate Europe (Yang even called me a bourgeois). Comfort me.

*patpat* there, there.. Germany has lots of things. Chocolate? Cake? Beer? I think they have castles, too.. and, if you get really bored, just convince everyone to take the TGV to somewhere else ;)

Germany could be interesting! A trip to see Beethoven's and Mozart's and Bach's hometowns might be fun. If you like classical music, that is. Otherwise I can see how it might be deathly boring ^^; You could view it as a FMA research trip, though. Isn't Amestris based on Weimar Germany/Prussia?

I mean you're getting a free trip, you might as well enjoy it and make your grandmother happy. Are you going to be able to poke around by yourself?

I'd be all, "Germany is great!"...except yeah, I'd be bored too. :'D Even though technically I *am* mostly German...

I dunno, pretend you're going to see Ed?

I think travel kind of sucks when you don't feel like going where you're going, y'know? I hate travel for the sake of travel. But then, you have a lot of time to psych up.
