"Meet Me @ The Club"...Even In Germany, "It's Going Down"

Yes, you read the Title of this blog entry right! Yung Joc, @ The Orange Club, in Mannheim, This Saturday! Will our face be in the place? Undetermined. But trust, we'll keep you "posted"!

Today's Menu: Butter Croissants & Cappucino in Cafe Soleil' (will post pics later), This cafe is a hip spot located just down from Rashawn's office. So, I wake up, get dressed (as if I am going to work), walk to work with Ray, and veer off to the right where I read Karrine Steffans 'The Vixen Diaries', observe, and try something new off the menu each day until lunchtime @ the Mensa. I ALMOST made a friend yesterday as a woman politely sat down at the same tall table I was sitting at, but no conversation commenced, maybe next time. Just an FYI I later learned · When dining in some restaurants, if there are empty seats at your table and no other free tables, the maitr d’hotel may seat others with you. This is quite common in Germany—in fact, you can do the same if you arrive and there are no single free tables. There should be no obligation to carry on a conversation with others at the table unless both parties seem so inclined. Well there you have it! Thanks Steph!

Yesterday I saw the cutest Puma socks ever, ever. I'm not leaving Germany without a pair in every color. However, so many numbers (sizes) and such a lack of translation. So I found an essential website for shoe size conversion http://www.i18nguy.com/l10n/shoes.html#adult If you plan on visiting, you'll definintely want to know your size!

Ever used sugar tablets instead of granualted sugar? We'll it is very common here. The tablets are these potent little pills about the size of a "mini" mint. You drop 1, 2, 3,...or 4 in your beverage & BOOM it's sweet! Anywho, guess I am signing out for now! Until next time...

Hey Cynthia,

It seems that you are having a peaceful time in Germany. I'll be sure to check on you periodically.

Tell Ray I said "hello"!

Peace & Love,
